　　Constructing their essays around specific cultural artifacts

that were created in the period and locale under study, the

contributors describe the cultural interactions among different

Jews–from rabbis and scholars to non-elite groups, including

women–as well as between Jews and the surrounding non-Jewish world.

What they conclude is that although Jews have always had their own

autonomous traditions, Jewish identity cannot be considered the

fixed product of either ancient ethnic or religious origins.

Rather, it has shifted and assumed new forms in response to the

cultural environment in which the Jews have lived.

Mediterranean Origins, the first volume in Cultures of

the Jews, describes the concept of the “People” or “Nation” of

Israel that emerges in the Hebrew Bible and the culture of the

Israelites in relation to that of neighboring Canaanite groups. It

also discusses Jewish cultures in Babylonia, in Palestine during

the Greco-Roman and Byzantine periods, and in Arabia during the

formative years of Islam.

　　Scattered over much of the world throughout most of their

history, are the Jews one people or many? How do they resemble and

how do they differ from Jews in other places and times? What have

their relationships been to the cultures of their neighbors? To

address these and similar questions, some of the finest scholars of

our day have contributed their insights to Cultures of the

Jews, a winner of the National Jewish Book Award upon its

hardcover publication in 2002.
