"An outstanding, and much-needed authoritative interpretation of the many threads of Judaism. Goldberg interweaves its many workings in a way that makes us rethink the meanings of the diversity and interconnectedness of a living religion."--Richard Hecht, author of "To Rule Jerusalem" "A potent and authoritative anthology which unravels the many threads of a living Judaism. Here we have a work that tells us how Jews really live. Goldberg has done a splendid job with this text, and he continues to lead the way towards an invigorated anthropology of Judaism."--Jack Kugelmass, author of "The Miracle of Intervale Avenue" "The life of Judaism, we learn in this fine collection, is even more diverse than we might have expected, its varieties shaping one another in surprising ways at multiple points of intersection. Goldberg has focused attention on what Jews do rather than on what they believe, and the kaleidoscope of Jewish doings makes for fascinating reading."--Arnold Eisen, author of "Rethinking Modern Judaism: Ritual, Commandment, Community"
