La problématique principale déroulée dans cet essai ne manquera pas d'apparaître illégitime, et même révoltante, à plus d'un lecteur. Elle sera d'emblée récusée par nombre de laïcs déterminés à se définir comme juifs. Pour d'autres, je ne serai qu'un traître infâme, rongé par la haine de soi. Des judéophobes conséquents ont déjà qualifié d'impossible, voire d'absurde, une telle question, parce qu'ils considèrent qu'un juif sera toujours d'une autre race. La judéité est perçue comme une essence immuable et compacte, qui ne saurait être modifiée. L'État dont je suis citoyen définit ma nationalité comme « juif ». Pourtant, j'aurais pu être enregistré sous la nationalité autrichienne ; en effet, je suis né, fortuitement, dans un camp de personnes déplacées, dans la ville de Linz, au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Le problème est que je ne crois pas en un être suprême. Si l'on excepte une brève crise mystique, à l'âge de douze ans, j'ai toujours pensé que l'homme a créé Dieu et non pas l'inverse ; et cette invention m'est toujours apparue comme l'une des plus problématiques, des plus fascinantes et des plus meurtrières de l'humaine société. Par conséquent, je me retrouve, pieds et poings liés, pris au piège de mon identité démente.

A keen student of theology, August Friedrich Gfrörer (1803-61) became professor of history at the University of Freiburg and also sat as a representative in the Frankfurt parliament, agitating for the reunification of Protestantism and Catholicism. This three-volume work, published in 1838, may be regarded as marking the modern period in the Christian study of Judaism. Gfrr̲er was the first scholar who attempted to recount the history of Palestinian Judaism at the time of Jesus by using primary source material and without pursuing an obvious apologetic or polemic agenda. More than 2,000 pages in length, the work is a formidable scholarly achievement of lasting value in the field of religious studies. Volume 1 accounts for first-century Jewish education and scholarship, and discusses the doctrine of revelation. The author also addresses the Jewish understanding of God and of spirits, angels and demons.

"Up until the advent of Nasser and the 1956 War, a thriving and diverse Jewry lived in Egypt - mainly in the two cities of Alexandria and Cairo, heavily influencing the social and cultural history of the country. Histories of the Jews of Egypt argues that this Jewish diaspora should be viewed as "an imagined bourgeoisie". It demonstrates how, from the late nineteenth century up to the 1950s, a resilient imaginary bourgeois developed and influenced the lives of Egyptian Jews both in the public arena, in institutions such as the school, and in the home. From the schools of the Alliance Israélite Universelle and the Cairo lycée français to Alexandrian marriage contracts and interwar Zionist newspapers - this book explains how this imaginary was characterised by a great capacity to adapt to the evolutions of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Egypt, but later deteriorated alongside increasingly strong Arab nationalism and the political upheavals that the country experienced from the 1940s onwards. Offering a novel perspective on the history of modern Egypt and its Jews, and unravelling too often forgotten episodes and personalities which contributed to the making of an incredibly diverse and lively Jewish diaspora at the crossroads of Europe and the Middle East, this book is of interest to scholars of Modern Egypt, Jewish History and of Mediterranean History"-- "This book covers the period from the 1880s up to the early 1950s, offering a complete overview of the decades during which the Jewish community of Egypt consolidated, flourished and then rapidly declined"--
