La tradition veut que les juifs d'Afrique du Nord, comme tous ceux de la diaspora, descendent des juifs de Judée exilés après la destruction du temple de Jérusalem en 70 ap. J.C. Le livre de Julien Cohen-Lacassagne bouleverse cette idée reçue : ce n'est pas un peuple en errance qui a traversé les mers, mais une idée, animée d'une puissante dynamique missionnaire : celle du monothéisme. C'est dans les bagages des Phéniciens que le judaïsme a gagné Carthage, avant d'être adopté par des tribus berbères et de s'étendre dans l'arrière-pays. Résistant à l'expansion chrétienne, puis à celle de l'Islam, ces Maghrébins juifs ont marqué durablement les sociétés nord-africaines et contribué à une authentique civilisation judéo-musulmane partageant une langue, une culture et un même substrat religieux. La colonisation a bouleversé cet héritage, que Cohen-Lacassagne restitue brillamment contre « la tentation d'écrire une histoire juive isolée de celle du reste du monde ».

A young Lutheran girl grows up on Long Island, New York. She aspires to be a doctor, and is on the fast track to marriage and the conventional happily-ever-after. But, as the Yiddish saying goes, "Man plans, and God laughs." Meet Andrea Myers, whose coming-of-age at Brandeis, conversion to Judaism, and awakening sexual identity make for a rich and well-timed life in the rabbinate. In The Choosing, Myers fuses heartwarming anecdotes with rabbinic insights and generous dollops of humor to describe what it means to survive and flourish on your own terms. Portioned around the cycle of the Jewish year, with stories connected to each of the holidays, Myers draws on her unique path to the rabbinate--leaving behind her Christian upbringing, coming out as a lesbian, discovering Judaism in college, moving to Israel, converting, and returning to New York to become a rabbi, partner, and parent. Myers relates tales of new beginnings, of reinventing oneself, and finding oneself. Whether it's a Sicilian grandmother attempting to bake hamantaschen on Purim for her Jewish granddaughter, or an American in Jerusalem saving a chicken from slaughter during a Rosh Hashanah ritual, Myers keeps readers entertained as she reflects that spirituality, goodness, and morality can and do take many forms. Readers will enthusiastically embrace stories of doors closing and windows opening, of family and community, of integration and transformation. These captivating narratives will resonate and, in the author's words, "reach across coasts, continents, and generations."
