Jewish Options de Arnold Dashefsky

Jewish Options: Studies of Jews in Society, cartea 8

Autor Arnold Dashefsky, Ira M. Sheskin, J. Alan Winter
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2025

Nivel de studiu: referință academică pentru licență și cercetare avansată în sociologia religiei. Jewish Options reprezintă o sinteză riguroasă a modului în care identitatea evreiască s-a transformat în contextul american contemporan. Publicată în cadrul seriei Studies of Jews in Society la editura Springer, lucrarea propune un cadru teoretic integrat pentru a înțelege opțiunile multiple de exprimare a iudaismului în secolul XXI. Apreciem în mod deosebit rigoarea cu care Arnold Dashefsky și colegii săi navighează de la istoria instituțională a mișcării Reformiste până la provocările actuale legate de căsătoriile interconfesionale și filantropie.

Structura volumului este una progresivă: prima parte stabilește coordonatele geografice și demografice, în timp ce partea a doua explorează opțiunile concrete ale comunității în Statele Unite. Ca alternativă la setul Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices pentru cursurile de etică și identitate, acest volum aduce avantajul unei metodologii bazate pe date socio-statistice recente, nu doar pe perspective teologice. Totodată, spre deosebire de abordarea lui Rabbi Irving (Yitz) Greenberg din Life Against Death, Volume 2, care se concentrează pe relațiile iudeo-creștine post-Holocaust, lucrarea de față prioritizează dinamica internă a demografiei și contractul social liberal american.

Această ediție 2024 se ancorează solid în opera anterioară a autorilor, fiind o continuare firească a analizelor anuale din American Jewish Year Book 2023 sau American Jewish Year Book 2022. Dacă acele anuare oferă date brute și tendințe de moment, Jewish Options sintetizează aceste informații într-o viziune istorică și sociologică de ansamblu, oferind cititorului instrumentele necesare pentru a înțelege continuitatea și schimbarea într-una dintre cele mai vibrante comunități religioase din lume.

Despre autor

Arnold Dashefsky este profesor asociat de sociologie și director al Centrului pentru Studii Iudaice și Viață Evreiască Contemporană de la Universitatea din Connecticut. Expertiza sa în identificarea etnică este recunoscută internațional, fiind o figură centrală în editarea seriei American Jewish Year Book timp de mai mulți ani. Lucrările sale anterioare explorează mecanismele identității etnice în societate, iar această nouă contribuție consolidează poziția sa de autoritate în studiul științific al demografiei și vieții instituționale a evreilor americani.

Descriere scurtă

This book offers an examination of an expanding set of options for being Jewish in contemporary American society. It examines the evolution of Jewish identity across five epochs of Jewish civilization as well as the transformation of the American Jewish experience across four centuries. In addition, an institutional history and a geographic, demographic, and religious profile of American Jews are presented, including an outline of contemporary Jewish options to express Jewish identity in twenty-first century America. Readers will gain an understanding of how these options developed via the provision of a socio-historical and a social scientific analysis of each option in one integrated volume. The book also discusses contemporary challenges to the continuity of American Jewish community and identity including the issues of education, interfaith marriage, and philanthropy.
