Today, Jewish experiences what it means to be Jewish varies greatly from one culture to another around the world.
In this book, author Bernardo Sorj explains what the Jewish experience was like throughout history and how Jewish culture led to the Secular Humanistic Judaism movement, which says you can identify with Jewish culture independent of traditional Jewish religious practice and belief. From the beginnings of Jewish evolution to today's Jewish diversity, Sorj's insightful analysis of the modern Jewish experience and his message of acceptance will resonate with cultural Jews worldwide.
