A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Many modern Jews are searching for a way back to their religious roots-and a better understanding of their Jewish identity. In Fragile Branches, James R. Ross blazes a path into the heart of the Jewish experience, raising provocative questions about what it means to be Jewish in today's world. As he describes isolated Jewish communities in India, Peru, Brazil, and other unexpected countries, a vivid picture of contemporary Jewish life emerges, offering new perspectives on ancient precepts, thoughts, and rituals-and helping readers reexamine their own relationship with tradition.

Biographie de l'auteur :

James R. Ross is the chair of the Jewish Studies program and an associate professor and acting director at the School of Journalism at Northeastern University in Boston, where he organizes an annual conference celebrating the arts of diaspora Jewish communities.
