What is the spirituality of one Jew alone?

The question above is one of many in this book - the question of Jewish identity and whether an individual can actually be fully Jewish without a sense of community and affiliation with others. Three main areas of Jewish identity are explored: Unaffiliated Jews, Jewish Community and New, even radical directions in Jewish practice and identity. Because there were many 1st person accounts, this book was lively and interesting to read. It raised questions in my own mind about what it means to be a Jew in America today. Fascinating!
