In the context of unifying Europe, Jews of the “Old Continent” are re-thinking their role as ethno-cultural minority. European Jewry is developing a remarkable new assertiveness, but faces inner divisions and new anti-Semitism. This volume gives insight into controversial experiences and perspectives.
Europe is in the midst of a rapid political and economic unification. What does this mean for the Jewish minority numbering less than 2 million people and still suffering from the aftermath of the Shoah? Will the Jewish communities participate in Europe s bold venture without risking total assimilation? Are they vibrant enough to form a new Jewish center alongside Israel and the American Jewish community, or are they hopelessly divided and on a Road to Nowhere Different perspectives are predicted, relating to demographical, cultural and sociological aspects. This volume provides exciting, thorough and controversial answers by renowned scholars from Europe, Israel, North- and Latin America many of them also committed to local Jewish community building.
