OverviewThroughout history, Judaism has been under attack by other religions, attacks which strengthened the identification of the group as a whole. Modern challenges, however, are coming from different directions, and are producing different results. Jewish identification is declining at the same time as more and more Jewish groups to identify with are rising. Rather than being a disaster, Kaplan argues that the multiplicity of threads in Jewish life today represents the process of a radical transformation ""nothing less than metamorphosis."" It is in this way that Judaism is creating its own future, the greater Judaism in the making. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Mordecai M.
