It presents Moshe Shokeid's explorations, discoveries, and feelings about the vicissitudes of social life, which he closely observed in three major arenas of contemporary Jewish life: Moroccan Jews who immigrated from the Atlas Mountains to become farmers in the semi-arid Negev fields; Israeli-born citizens who left their homes to start a new life in America; and, finally, American gay Jews who chose to preserve their cultural heritage and remain involved in synagogue life as part of the mosaic of New York Jews. The panoramic view of Shokeid's ethnographic journeys ends with a discussion of his methods of research and his personal experiences as a participant observer among his fellow Jews in their unique paths to promote their social and spiritual aspirations. 410 0$aJudaism and Jewish life. 606 $aAnthropologists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAnthropologists$zGreat Britain$vBiography 606 $aJews, Moroccan$zIsrael$zNegev$xSocial life and customs 606 $aIsraelis$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aJewish gay people$xReligious life$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aJewish lesbians$xReligious life$zNew York (State)$zNew York 615 0$aAnthropologists 615 0$aAnthropologists 615 0$aJews, Moroccan$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aIsraelis$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aJewish gay people$xReligious life 615 0$aJewish lesbians$xReligious life 676 $a305.892/4 700 $aShokeid$b Moshe$01468129 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781844503321 996 $aThree jewish journeys through an anthropologist's lens$93679109 997 $aUNINA
