What is the next chapter in Judaism’s story, the next step in its journey? The dramatic changes of recent decades invite us to explore what role Judaism is to play in this new era. As the digital future becomes the present, Danny Schiff makes the case that the period known as “modernity” has come to an end. Noting the declining strength of Conservative and Reform Judaism, the largest US Jewish movements of modernity, he argues for new iterations of Judaism to arise in response to the myriad of weighty questions that now confront us about what it means to be human. Here is an account of the digital age through a Jewish lens, in which Schiff examines Jewish teachings and traditions, exploring what moral insight they might have to offer in this period of great flux. He marshals the thought of well-known futurists such as Ray Kurzweil and Yuval Noah Harari to forecast the exponentially larger shifts in the human condition that lie ahead, and proposes that a countercultural Judaism could have renewed relevance in addressing some of the pressing issues that confront humanity in the twenty-first century. Danny Schiff is the Foundation Scholar at the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh. He is the author of Abortion in Judaism (2002) and is a former member of the City of Pittsburgh Ethics Board and the Society of Jewish Ethics Board.

This book argues that the way to ensure that American Jewish life flourishes is to create vibrant local communities and that the ability to thrive will be won or lost in the trenches of each locality. For every generalization about the Jews of America, one can say, "maybe, but it depends where." In the United States, Jewish life is up close and personal where local variations on national themes make a huge difference. The author presents case studies using in-depth analysis of data from nine Jewish community studies to illuminate eleven critical American Jewish policy issues. The analysis is used to formulate a range of policy options for different types of communities. This book is for anyone who cares about the future of American Jewry. It should be of particular interest to the lay leaders and professionals who play a role in Jewish nonprofits. It is also of great interest to researchers and students of Jewish studies and Jewish communal service.

Overzicht van de joodse religie en levenswijze. "Het jodendom is een schriftreligie met als middelpunt de Tora, de Wet van Mozes. In de Tora heeft de God van Israël Zich geopenbaard - dat is het uitgangspunt van de Joodse godsdienst. Het jodendom is een religie van leven, want wie voor de Tora kiest, kiest voor het leven. De Joodse God wordt geprezen als een God van levenden, die zelfs de gestorvenen weer tot leven brengt. Ondanks de tragische geschiedenis van het Joodse volk is door de eeuwen heen het geloof in het leven onaangetast gebleven: Lechajim (Op het leven!). Het jodendom kent tal van dergelijke paradoxen, waardoor dit boek een spannend verhaal wordt. Een verhaal vol contrasten, ook vol leven en levenswil. Wie het jodendom associeert met dood en vernietiging, zal na het lezen van dit boek zeker dit hardnekkige misverstand herzien. De auteur bespreekt zowel positieve als problematische kanten van de voortdurende worsteling om een tweeduizend jaar oude traditie in overeenstemming te brengen met de huidige tijd. Ook de gebruiken, de feesten, het leven van alledag komen aan de orde." --
