	Love, Hate, and Jewish Identity
		The strange contemporary blindness to Jewish history was born in a specific rebellion against Jewish history—a history that could be written in terms of wanderings and expulsions, inquisitions and pogroms, martyrdoms and exclusions, the powerlessness and homelessness of "the wandering Jew."

	European Jewish Identity
		For a European Jewish identity to emerge a series of major conceptual obstacles have had and still have to be lifted.
		In pre-Nazi Europe, Jewish „elites" were those that were most assimilated, while the „Ostjuden" were perceived as „inferior" and at times even threatening to Western European Jews because of their religious obscurantism, traditional life style and essential refusal of assimilation and modernity.
		Now that the Jewish actors of the new Europe are gradually putting themselves in place, the ball will be increasingly in the European camp, a camp defined in the largest possible sense, one that by no means excludes and instead welcomes Jewish contributions from elsewhere.

		Jewish artists from all eras and various nations contributed ad infinitum to various and multiple schools, styles, genres and aspects of classical, abstract and modern art.
		Unfortunately, the pioneering Jewish spirit of Oppenheim and his struggles to preserve the Jewish identity through art are rarely mentioned in the history books.
		Ironically enough, several totally different Jewish experiences, divergent and convergent in collective Jewish attitude and social reactions, and determination (Of a new generation of brave Jewish nationalists) to fight back, instead of fleeing, mourning or hiding, deeply influenced Jewish artists who were not accustomed to paint Jewish uprisings, revolts and public protests.

		Yet there are those educators and Jewish lay leaders who suggest that the Poland trip can prove an equally inspirational educational experience, with participants returning to their home communities with a strengthened and renewed sense of Jewish identity.
		It is almost paradoxical that Jewish youth who travel to Poland to witness the destruction of European Jewry would return with their own connection to the Jewish people strengthened.
		Jewish identity was measured by the following factors: Religious affiliation and commitment; religious belief; attitudes towards Jewish education; attitudes towards inter-marriage; relationship to Israel; self-perception of Jewish identity; and direct questions to the participants as to the impact of the Poland trip.

	Israel Identity and Racism -
		Identity's religious views are bizarre and occult, and their view of history is often distorted and very far removed from basis in fact or truth.
		Since the Identity groups want to blame-shift the personal responsibility of their sins, rather than seeking God's mercy through the power of the Blood of Jesus, they deny the reality of their own sins being the cause of the death of the Lamb of God.
		The Identity cultists insist that Genesis 1:24, which describes the creation of animals and is prior to the creation of Adam, includes a description of races other than their race.

		But The Jewish Identity Project by Susan Chevlowe, with additional contributions by Joanna Lindenbaum and Ilan Stavans, is another story altogether; it took me long hours of perusal to finally warm up to portions of it.
		The book was tied to an exhibit at New York's Jewish Museum, which has since closed, and which usually is an indicator of excellence; but there was something half-baked about the notion behind the project, and especially with what's featured in the early sections.

		Pamela Nadell, director of the Jewish studies program at American University, said a large factor in the results may have been the response to another question in the survey --- 64 percent of those with married children have at least one child who is intermarried.

	Jewish Research: Past Projects
		Participating in Jewish culture is an important part of Bay Area Jewish identity.
		For some analysts in Jewish life, the cultural arts are seen as peripheral, trivial, or poor substitutes for real Jewish identity, which expresses itself through synagogue attendance, observance of Kashrut (dietary laws), and strict ritual observance.
		While these are important aspects of Jewish identity for some Jews, they are not the main expression of Jewish identity for most Jews.

		Lepton’s ironic expressions of secular Jewish pride are part of a larger crop of conversation-starting T-shirts and other apparel emblazoned with pro-Semitic slogans like “Jewcy” or “Jew.Lo” (a Hebraic spin on “J.Lo,” the nickname for singer/actress Jennifer Lopez).
		“Jew.Lo gives props to zaftig Jewish figures, recognizing that a girl need not be a stick figure to be hot, and that a true dish loves her knish,” Lowenstein, who was traveling in India and could not be reached for an interview, writes.
		Whatever their external effect, the T-shirts essentially are a way to have fun and feel Jewish at the same time, which may be a new phenomenon for many Hebrew school graduates.

		Haman is a man whose hatred for the Jewish people fueled his meteoric rise to power in the court of King Achashverosh, and who sought to use the leverage of his position to bring about the extermination of all the Jews in the Persian Empire.
		And, as the Talmud goes on to tell us, the Jewish response to their enemy was not to run from the scourge of their Jewish identity, but to realize that nothing in the world was more precious to them than their very Jewishness.
		When Jewish lives were threatened specifically because they were Jewish lives, the Jews of Persia realized that not only did they want to live, but more than anything else they wanted to live as Jews.

		Several contributors argue that Jewish identities and attitudes toward their dispersion were fundamentally influenced by the surrounding gentile culture, but only Sousloff actually pursues this line of research by exploring how cultural interactions were experienced and what they meant to Jews and their gentile neighbors.
		The suggestion here--that Jewish ideas about diaspora are shaped by the existence (or non-existence) of other diasporas around them--is fascinating, and opens up a question that could be asked of many of the essays in the volume.
