Porter. 330 $aTaking Stock is a collection of lively, original essays that explore the cultures of enumeration that permeate contemporary and modern Jewish life. Speaking to the profound cultural investment in quantified forms of knowledge and representation--whether discussing the Holocaust or counting the numbers of Israeli and American Jews--these essays reveal a social life of Jewish numbers. As they trace the uses of numerical frameworks, they portray how Jews define, negotiate, and enact matters of Jewish collectivity. The contributors offer productive perspectives into ubiquitous yet often overlooked aspects of the modern Jewish experience. 410 0$aModern Jewish experience (Bloomington, Ind.) 606 $aCounting 606 $aJews$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCounting. 615 0$aJews$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a909.04924 702 $aMoore$b Deborah Dash$f1946- 702 $aKravel-Tovi$b Michal 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798464103321 996 $aTaking Stock$92713870 997 $aUNINA
