Jews, God, and Videotape is a pioneering examination of the impact of new communications technologies and media practices on the religious life of American Jewry over the past century. Shandler?s examples range from early recordings of cantorial music to Hasidic outreach on the Internet. In between he explores mid-twentieth-century ecumenical radio and television broadcasting, video documentation of life cycle rituals, museum displays and tourist practices as means for engaging the Holocaust as a moral touchstone, and the role of mass-produced material culture in Jews? responses to the American celebration of Christmas.Shandler argues that the impact of these and other media on American Judaism is varied and extensive: they have challenged the role of clergy and transformed the nature of ritual; facilitated innovations in religious practice and scholarship, as well as efforts to maintain traditional observance and teachings; created venues for outreach, both to enhance relationships with non-Jewish neighbors and to promote greater religiosity among Jews; even redefined the notion of what might constitute a Jewish religious community or spiritual experience. As Jews, God, and Videotape demonstrates, American Jews? experiences are emblematic of how religious communities? engagements with new media have become central to defining religiosity in the modern age. 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xCommunication 606 $aJudaism$y21st century 606 $aJudaism$y20th century 606 $aJudaism$zUnited States 606 $aTechnology$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aCommunication$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aMass media$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 615 0$aJews$xCommunication. 615 0$aJudaism 615 0$aJudaism 615 0$aJudaism 615 0$aTechnology$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aCommunication$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aMass media$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 676 $a296.37 700 $aShandler$b Jeffrey$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01467798 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789975303321 996 $aJews, God, and Videotape$93836616 997 $aUNINA
