| Synopsis: |
This freethinking book, structured as a dialogue between the authors, overturns conformist discourses and received ideas about Jewish culture and identity. It challenges pious myths and biases. What if the Jews were not the "descendants" of the Hebrews? What if the Jewish book was more the Talmud than the Bible? What if medieval judeophobia could not be identified with modern anti-Semitism? What if orthodoxy was not a return to cultural origins but a new creation? If these are all valid topics of debate, questioning the future of the Jews should not be beyond discussion. |
