Series Statement:
Jewish Identities in a Changing World Ser. v.16
Content:
In the context of their recent dispersion, Russian-speaking Jews have become the vast majority of Germany's longstanding Jewry. An entity marked by permeable boundaries, they show commitment to world Jewry, including Israel, but feeble identification with their hosts. While Jewish singularity is understood here more as "belonging" than "believing", Jewish education is viewed as a must.
