How do American Jews identify as both Jewish and American? American Post-Judaism argues that Zionism and the Holocaust; two anchors of contemporary American Jewish identity; will no longer be centers of identity formation for future generations of American Jews. Shaul Magid articulates a new; post-ethnic American Jewishness. He discusses pragmatism and spirituality; monotheism and post-monotheism; Jesus; Jewish law; sainthood and self-realization; and the meaning of the Holocaust for those who have never known survivors. Magid presents Jewish Renewal as a movement that takes this radical cultural transition seriously in its strivings for a new era in Jewish thought and practice.

7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. History brought to lifeBy carolinaislandgirlInteresting and vivid history of the area called the Waccamaw Neck in South Carolina. This story follows the Waccamaw River with its myriad rice plantations stretched between the river and the Atlantic Ocean and tells of the early European inhabitants and their rise to wealth based on the importation of slaves. The author concentrates on certain plantation families to recount this history of the owners and their extended slave families from pre American Revolution times to post Civil war and into the 20th century.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.
