Jewry today is marked by transnational competing movements and local influences meanwhile worldwide Judeophobia and sympathy for the Palestinian cause make Israel the "Jew among nations". This volume asks: how much is the Jewish Commonwealth still pertinent to Jewry In this era of globalization Jewish diversity is marked more than ever by transnational expansion of competing movements and local influences on specific conditions. One factor that still makes Jewish communities one is the common reference to Israel. Today however differentiations and discrepancies in identification and behavior generate plurality and ambiguities about Israel-Diaspora relationships. Moreover the Judeophobia now rife in Europe and beyond as well as the spread of the Palestinian cause as a civil religion make Israel the world's "Jew among nations." This weighs heavily on community relations - despite Israel's active presence in the diaspora. In this context the contributions to this volume focus on Jewish peoplehood religiosity and ethnicity gender and generation Israelophobia and world Jewry and debate the perspectives that are most pertinent to confront the question: how far is the Jewish Commonwealth Klal Yisrael still an important code of Jewry today Publisher Contents: Preface; List of Contributors; Introduction; Part 1 Diaspora-Israel: Continuities versus Discontinuities; Chapter 1 Jewish Peoplehood: Hard Soft and Interactive Markers; Chapter 2 From World-Wide People to First-World People: The Consolidation of World Jewry; Chapter 3 The "Jewish Peoplehood" Concept: Complications and Suggestions; Chapter 4 Ethnicity and State Policy: The State of Israel in the Intellectual and Political Discourse of the US Jewish Press; Chapter 5 Close and Distant: The Relations between Israel and the Diaspora; Part 2 Religiosity and Ethnicity.; Chapter 6 The Reform and Conservative Movements in Israel: Strategies of Peripheral Movements in a Monopolized Religious Market; Chapter 7 Two Orthodox Cultures: "Centrist" Orthodoxy and Religious Zionism; Chapter 8 Ethnicity and Transnationalism: Latino Jews in Miami; Chapter 9 Strong Ethnicity: The Case of US-born Jews in Israel; Part 3 Gender and Generation; Chapter 10 Orthodox Jewish Women as a Bridge Between Israel and the Diaspora; Chapter 11 Gender Religion and the Search for a Modern Jewish Identity in "La rabina" by Silvia Plager.; Chapter 12 Global Jewish Youth Studies-Towards a TheoryChapter 13 Generational and Cultural Constructions of Jewish Peoplehood; Part 4 Israelophobia Anti-Zionism and "Neo"-Antisemitism; Chapter 14 Debasing Praise: Hatred of the Jews in a Global Age; Chapter 15 Integration and Antisemitism: The Case of French Jewry; Chapter 16 How Antisemitism Obsessive Criticism of Israel and Do-Gooders Complicate Jewish Life in Germany; Chapter 17 Anti-Zionist Discourse of the Left in Latin America: An Assessment.; Chapter 18 American Jews and the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process: A Study of Diaspora in International AffairsPart 5 Configurations of World Jewry and the State of Israel; Chapter 19 Jewish Diaspora and Transnationalism: Awkward Dance Partners; Chapter 20 The Dialectics of Diaspora in Contemporary Modernity; Chapter 21 Reflections on Israel and Jerusalem as the Centers of World Jewry; Chapter 22 Israel-Diaspora Relations: "Transmission Driving-belts" of Transnationalism; Epilogue: One-After All. . for the Time Being; Index.
