Abstract
A study of Judaism which draws on cultural studies, selecting on texts, practices and objects that allow for the exploration of everyday life rather than concentrating exclusively on artefacts deemed to be of aesthetic or intellectual excellence. Chapter headings: Preface and apologia; What is Judaism?; Jewish law; Jewish diversity; Common ground; Jewish/non-Jewish relations; Judaism and Jewish continuity; Afterword: Who is a Jew?
