What happens when Jewish authors—whether by force or of their own free will, whether in reality or in the imagination—travel from one place to another? Jews and Journeys explores what it is about travel writing that enables it to become a central mechanism for exploring the realities and fictions of individual and collective identity.

Follow the soul treks of Jews lost and found. Be inspired to connect with Judaism in new ways. “No two people take the same journey.... Yet the telling of each story can ease the footsteps of those who follow.... It is my hope that [these] tales will offer you camaraderie, a guidepost here and there, and, most of all, the heart and strength to pursue your own path.” —from the Introduction What draws Jews back to their religious roots? What drives them away? What obstacles must they overcome to find their way home? Paula Amann candidly probes these questions and more as she explores how secular and nominal Jews are blazing their own trails toward a vibrant, twenty-first-century Judaism. With the ear of a journalist and the heart of a seeker, Amann weaves a tapestry of human stories—of alienation, connection, spiritual detours, and unexpected portals into a life of faith. The people you meet in this engaging book will throw a fresh light on Jewish thought and practice. And their tales of personal transformation might just renew your relationship with Judaism—or send you off on your own Jewish journey. Topics include: Swerving In and Out of Other Faiths Traditions That Chafe The Arts as a Portal Healing Body and Soul Making a Jewish Life That Works ... And Many Others

Contemporary Jews often find meaning in Judaism's family and communal orientation, its beautiful rituals, its enriching culture, its sense of ethnic rootedness, and its moral values. For the classical Jewish tradition, however, all of these features of Judaism depend on a belief in God. Since many modern Jews do not know what to make of that belief, it is often ignored. They may be inspired by Judaism's high regard for education and its passion for justice, but their belief in God rests on childhood images of the Almighty. They are often embarrassed and uneasy, for they sense that their attachment to Judaism may be based upon intellectual quicksand. Motivated by just such feelings, Rabbi Elliot Dorff probes what we as adults can know about God through human reason, human and Divine words, and human and Divine action. Without assuming a background in philosophy, he skillfully takes us through some of the major philosophical options and conundrums in using each of these sources of knowledge about God and the images of God that result. With remarkable clarity and inspiring honesty, Rabbi Dorff's exploration results in a vibrant Jewish faith, one that takes due regard for both the emotional and intellectual sides of our being. Dorff's own personal quest, artfully woven throughout this spiritually uplifting volume, aids the reader to make his or her own Judaism emotionally satisfying and intellectually sound. The result is a Judaism that can be for the modern reader what it is for the author: the product of a love of God 'with all one's heart, with all one's soul, and with all one's might.'

"Next year in Jerusalem!"This is how every Passover seder (seh-dehr) ends. Every year, Jews hold this special meal where they retell the story of the Israelites escaping slavery in Egypt, crossing the desert and building their own nation. The exclamation symbolizes the yearning of the Jews to return to their ancient homeland, lost to them nearly two thousand years ago. From the earliest days of aliyah (which describes the process of Jews returning to Israel) through today, the new arrivals have had many different reasons for coming to Israel. The first pioneers were motivated to build a modern Jewish state on their historic land. In many cases, they were fleeing anti-semitism or were expelled from their birth country because of it. In other cases, major national upheavals created a general chaos and instability they wanted to leave. Other immigrants have no need for rescue, but leave their birth countries to fulfill their dream of living a Jewish life in the Jewish homeland. Even for those Jews leaving their birth countries in distress, they have a choice as well. Many of the Russian Jews fleeing Russia in the late 19th century decided to immigrate to the United States instead of Israel. Of the nearly one million Jews who fled their homes in Arab countries, around two-thirds of them chose to come to Israel, while others went to France, Canada or the United States.So every Jew making aliyah has chosen to live in Israel. Each one has their own unique set of circumstances and wishes that brought them to the little country. Here are just a few of their stories.

The Jewish journey is central to the Jewish experience but has received almost no scholarly attention. This multi-disciplinary collection is thus path-breaking and a contribution to wider scholarship. It deals with both physical and spiritual Jewish journeys, as well as cultural and intellectual ones, exploring the relationship between these different categories. It covers a wide chronology and has a global reach including Europe, Israel, the Americas, Asia, and Africa. The essays are scholarly but accessible to a wide readership, reflecting the intrinsic interest of the subject matter. --Book Jacket.
