True Jew: Challenging the Stereotype - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book offers information to everyone who is thinking about the position of Jews in today's world and in history.

From the time of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem to 500 CE, the world’s Jewish population shrank from 4.5 million to 1.1 million; then the Jewish population increased at more than five times the global growth rate.

The book is about where they were, why they suddenly reappeared, and what lessons can be learned from their hidden identity and their reappearance.

The author also examines contemporary Jews' own varying views of Jewishness and discusses what it means to be a Jew today.

In style, the book is both a mystery story and an expose. It is written in a light and accessible manner in which its startling revelations are well-documented and substantiated.

Because its content is in opposition to some commonly held beliefs, the book provides a good basis for discussion and debate. Much of the information is presented from a fresh perspective which opens up formerly unarticulated and perhaps even forbidden concepts to modern exploration. In its final chapters the book makes a strong case for a major change in the Jewish community.
