Beyond Tradition, The Struggle for a New Jewish Identity
Proceedings of Colloquium '99: The question of how to live a full and meaningful Jewish life has challenged
Jews for the past two hundred years. Reform, Reconstructionist, Renewal, and
Secular Humanistic Judaism, as well as the Yiddishist and Zionist movements, are
responses to this question. Twelve scholars and Jewish leaders explore and
explain these responses to the modern Jewish experience. $25.00
Reclaiming Jewish History
Proceedings of Colloquium '97: The Jewish people is a remarkable people with a remarkable history. But over the
years history has been mixed with legend, fact has been mixed with fiction.
Today modern scholarship is struggling to separate the facts from the fiction
and to present to us, for the first time, what really happened- the real history
of the Jews. Eleven distinguished scholars explored the way Jewish people, in
fact, responded to historical circumstances confronting them. What they really
did - what really happened - is a fascinating story. $25.00
The Unaffiliated Jew
Proceedings of Colloquium '95: Jewish scholars, writers, and leaders explore the difficulties in reaching out
to the vast segment of the Jewish people that is unaffiliated. $20.00
