Its central theme is that the study of how Jews construct the past can help in interpreting how they understand the nature of their Jewishness. The individual chapters illuminate the ways in which Jews responded to and made use of the past. If Jews' choices of what to include, emphasize, omit, and invent in their representation of the past is a fundamental variable, then this volume contributes to the creation of a more nuanced approach to the construction of the histories of Jews and their thought. 410 0$aNorth American Jewish studies. 606 $aJews$xIdentity 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 676 $a305.8924 702 $aRobinson$b Ira 702 $aCohn$b Naftalis 702 $aDiTommaso$b Lorenzo 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798262203321 996 $aHistory, memory, and Jewish identity$93716665 997 $aUNINA
