Understanding and nurturing Jewish Peoplehood is an enterprise that seeks to generate involvement and communication between Jews the world-over - a principle which is the basis of this book. Authors include Jews from different corners of the planet, each of whom brings a unique perspective to the larger project of building Jewish Peoplehood. While each chapter of this book offers a distinctive looking glass into Jewish Peoplehood, they are also intended to complement each other, providing the reader with a deeper understanding of nature of the contemporary collective Jewish experience.
