Remix Judaism: Preserving Tradition in a Diverse World is aimed specifically at those Jews in the United States and elsewhere who are seeking a more meaningful Jewish existence (for themselves and for their children) outside the parameters of a strictly observant lifestyle. Roberta Rosenthal Kwall offers an eloquent and thoughtful new vision of Judaism. She sets out a process of selection, rejection, and modification of rituals focusing on a celebration of Jewish tradition rather than on the obligations of Jewish law. Kwall's goal is not to sell her own religious practices to readers but, rather, to encourage them to find their own personal meaning in Judaism outside the dictates of Commandment by broadening their understanding of how law, culture, and tradition fit together. A remixed approach to Judaism emphasizes observance of authentic rituals, however one chooses to interpret them, rather than observance of the details of Jewish law that are of little relevance to most Jews outside Orthodox communities. Kwall inspires her audience to be intentional, mindful, joyful, and consistent about the space they allocate for observance of tradition in defining their individual Jewish journeys and identities. Remix Judaism addresses a number of salient topics of Jewish life, including holiday celebrations, core traditions, specific life events, education, food, tikkun olam, and the role of grandparents in perpetuating Jewish tradition. Blending personal narratives and sociological studies, this book will appeal to all Jews seeking a sense of belonging in a changing world, regardless of their current level of observance. |
