Seventy years later, a growing number of American Jews are instead expressing solidarity with Palestinians, questioning old allegiances to Israel. How did that transformation come about? What does it mean for the future of Judaism? In Days of Awe, Atalia Omer examines this shift through interviews with a new generation of Jewish activists, rigorous data analysis, and fieldwork within a progressive synagogue community. She highlights people politically inspired by social justice campaigns including the Black Lives Matter movement and protests against anti-immigration policies. These activists, she shows, discover that their ethical outrage at US policies extends to Israel's treatment of Palestinians. For these American Jews, the Jewish history of dispossession and diaspora compels a search for solidarity with liberation movements. This shift produces innovations within Jewish tradition, including multi-racial and intersectional conceptions of Jewishness and movements to reclaim prophetic Judaism. Charting the rise of such religious innovation, Omer points toward the possible futures of post-Zionist Judaism. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Questioning the narrative -- Forming a social movement -- Unlearning -- Remapping the destination -- Employing communal protest -- Reimagining tradition -- Making multidirectional memory -- Decolonizing antisemitism -- Decolonizing peacebuilding. 648 7 $a Since 1993 $2 fast 650 0 $a Palestinian Arabs $x Government policy $z Israel. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108857 650 0 $a Arab-Israeli conflict $y 1993- $x Peace. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh97007982 650 0 $a Jews $x Political activity $z United States. 650 0 $a Jews $z United States $x Religion. 650 7 $a Arab-Israeli conflict $x Peace. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00812230 650 7 $a Jews $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983329 650 7 $a Judaism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984280 650 7 $a Palestinian Arabs $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051607 651 7 $a Israel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204236 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214015912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9FD5A060CF511EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
