Abba Hillel Silver
Author: Marc Lee Raphael
Publisher: Holmes & Meier Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Silver's writings and activities had a profound influence on American life, both religious and secular. Like William James, he believed the business of religion was to unlock people's inner resources. "Judaism's central and unique property" he wrote, "is the power to release faith and courage for living, to produce spiritual vitality and fruitfulness, and by that that it ultimately stands or falls." For Silver, this power functioned two ways-as a support during crises and as a stimulus to high endeavours. This, of course, raises the question of whether religion is purely psychology or also philosophy, whether it can distance itself from the supernatural and remain, in fact, religion. Raphael deals with these questions in this challenging and provocative study.

Jewry between Tradition and Secularism
Author: Eliezer Ben-Rafael
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047409647
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Are Jews today still the carriers of a single and identical collective identity and do they still constitute a single people? This two-fold question arises when one compares a Hassidi Habad from Brooklyn, a Jewish professor at a secular university in Brussels, a traditional Yemeni Jew still living in Sana’a, a Galilee kibbutznik, or a Russian Jew in Novossibirsk. Is there still today a significant relationship between these individuals who all subscribe to Judaism? The analysis shows that the Jewish identity is multiple and can be explained by considering all variants as “surface structures” of the three universal “deep structures” central to the notion of collective identity, namely, collective commitment, perceptions of the collective’s singularity, and positioning vis-à-vis “others.”

Cleveland Jews and the Making of a Midwestern Community
Author: Sean Martin
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1978809956
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
This volume gathers an array of voices to tell the stories of Cleveland’s twentieth century Jewish community. Strong and stable after an often turbulent century, the Jews of Cleveland had both deep ties in the region and an evolving and dynamic commitment to Jewish life. The authors present the views and actions of community leaders and everyday Jews who embodied that commitment in their religious participation, educational efforts, philanthropic endeavors, and in their simple desire to live next to each other in the city’s eastern suburbs. The twentieth century saw the move of Cleveland’s Jews out of the center of the city, a move that only served to increase the density of Jewish life. The essays collected here draw heavily on local archival materials and present the area’s Jewish past within the context of American and American Jewish studies.
