Reviews / Votes
It is a new departure for Jewish studies and presents the first large-scale attempt to develop a set of themes on the anthropology of Judaism. The approaches are of a high caliber and of considerable interest. The topic is important for itself, but it is also a growing area of concern in anthropology and religion studies." - Laurence D. Loeb, University of Utah"The material is extremely interesting. The essays are clearly written and work together with a unified theme beyond the fact that they all deal with Jews." - Jack Kugelmass, Sarah Lawrence College
