Jews and Judaism in Modern China by M Avrum Ehrlich (2010).pdf

Jews and Judaism in Modern China

Jews and Judaism in Modern China explores and compares the dynamics at

work in two of the oldest – and starkly contrasting – intact civilizations on

earth: Jewish and Chinese. The book studies how they interact in modernity

and how each views the other, and analyzes areas of cooperation between

scholars, activists and politicians. Through evaluation of the respective

talents, qualities and social assets that are fused and borrowed in the socio-

economic, intellectual and cultural exchanges, we gain an insight into the

social processes underpinning two dissimilar and long-surviving civilizations.

Identifying and analyzing some of the emerging current issues, this book

suggests that Jewish–Chinese relations may become a growing discipline of

importance to the study of religion and comparative identity, and looks at

how the signiﬁcant contrasts in Jewish and Chinese national constructs may

serve them well in the quest for a meaningful discourse. Chapters explore

identity, integrity of the family unit, minority status, religious freedom, ethics

and morality, tradition versus modernity, the environment, and other areas

which are undergoing profound transformation.

Identifying the intellectual and practical nexus and bifurcation between

the two cultures, worldviews and identities, this work is indispensable for

students of Chinese Studies, sociology, religion and the Jewish Diaspora, and

provides useful reading for Western tourists to China.
