Lost Jews

Know about the book -

Lost Jews is written by Emma Klein and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1349243191 (ISBN 10) and 9781349243198 (ISBN 13).

Against a background of continuing erosion of Jewish numbers, the book investigates the many facets of Jewish identity by throwing the spotlight on people of part-Jewish descent, on born Jews on the fringes of Jewish life and those who have sought alternative affiliations. Emma Klein also calls for a response from religious and lay leaders to parochial communal attitudes and the anomaly of the definition of Jewish status in Jewish law which may be seen to contribute to the erosion.
