This post presents the first two chapters of “American Post-Judaism: Identity and Renewal in a Postethnic Society” by Shaul Magid. The first chapter is entitled “Be the Jew You Make: Jews, Judaism and Jewishness in Postethnic America,” and the second is “Ethnicity, America, and the Future of the Jews: Felix Adler, Mordecai Kaplan, and Zalman Schachter-Shlomi.” Throughout the book, Magid describes a new, postethnic American Jewish identity, that moves away from Zionism and the Holocaust as pillars of identity, presenting Jewish Renewal as a movement that strives for a new era in Jewish thought and practice.Â
