Description

In this lively book, Stephen Brook looks at the tensions within religious Jewry and at the role Jews play in all aspects of modern British life. Since the Jews of Britain make up less than one per cent of the population, their impact on British life is quite disproportionate to their numbers. Yet the Jewish community is far from monolithic and even Jews who belong to synagogues are deeply divided on matters of religious belief and the definition of Jewish status.

By speaking to hundreds of Jews from all over the country, the author has been able to explore the diversity of modern Judaism. He addresses such vital matters as the responses of British Jewry to the recent events in Israel, the role of women within Judaism and the extent to which anti-Semitism is still a feature of British society. The portrait he presents of this vibrant group of people will prove of absorbing interest to Jew and non-Jew alike.
