Description: "This volume advances the debate between communitarians and liberals by particularising it to the experience of Jews living in the modern world. Since the Enlightenment, Jews have been offered the opportunity to participate in civil society and this option has caused a reconceptualisation of the relationships between the individual Jew and the communities, religious and secular, of which he or she is a member.

The book presents nine specially commissioned essays by renowned scholars, who focus on the variety of views that may be taken of these relationships."--BOOK JACKET.
