By Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz

Twenty-three of the finest scholars of our dayโ€”archaeologists, cultural historians, literary critics, art historians , folklorists, and historians of relation, all affiliated with major academic institutions in the United States, Israel, and Franceโ€”have contributed their insight to Cultures of the Jews. The premise of their endeavor is that although Jews have always had their own autonomous traditions, Jewish identity cannot be considered immutable, 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.

Building their essays on specific cultural artifactsโ€”a poem, a letter, a travelerโ€™s account, a physical object of everyday or ritual useโ€”that were made in the period and locale they study, the contributors describe the cultural interactions among different Jewsโ€”from rabbis and scholars to non-elite groups, including womenโ€”as well as between Jews and the surrounding non-Jewish world.
