In New Jews, Caryn Aviv and David Shneer provocatively argue that there is a new generation of Jews who don't consider themselves to be eternally wandering, forever outsiders within their communities and seeking to one day find their homeland. Instead, these New Jews are at home, whether it be in Buenos Aires, San Francisco or Berlin, and are rooted within communities of their own choosing. Aviv and Shneer argue that Jews have come to the end of their diaspora; wandering no more, today's Jews are settled.In this wide-ranging book, the authors take us around the world, to Moscow, Jerusalem, New York and Los Angeles, among other places, and find vibrant, dynamic Jewish communities where Jewish identity is increasingly flexible and inclusive. New Jews offers a compelling portrait of Jewish life today. 606 $aJews$xIdentity 606 $aJews$xCultural assimilation 606 $aSocial integration 606 $aJewish diaspora 606 $aIsrael and the diaspora 610 $aJews. 610 $aargument. 610 $achoosing. 610 $acommunities. 610 $aconsider. 610 $adont. 610 $aeternally. 610 $afind. 610 $aforever. 610 $afound. 610 $ageneration. 610 $ahave. 610 $ahome. 610 $ahomeland. 610 $ainstead. 610 $aoutsiders. 610 $aprovocative. 610 $aseeking. 610 $athat. 610 $atheir. 610 $athemselves. 610 $athere. 610 $awandering. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJews$xCultural assimilation. 615 0$aSocial integration. 615 0$aJewish diaspora. 615 0$aIsrael and the diaspora. 676 $a305.892/4 700 $aAviv$b Caryn$f1969-$01617143 701 $aShneer$b David$f1972-$01617144 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819104503321 996 $aNew Jews$93948203 997 $aUNINA
