Eve Harow has a lively conversation with Gol Kalev on the results of his research on modern Jewish identity that led to his newly launched book, Judaism 3.0. judaism-zionism.com
He establishes the (largely accepted) idea that Jerusalem and Temple centered worship was the first version of the people’s distinctiveness and Rabbinic Judaism the 2.0, for a landless Diaspora.
He contends that Zionism has now turned into the defining aspect of the Jewish nation/religion and that it anchors Judaism since Jews and non-Jews relate to Judaism through Zionism.
Agree or not - and the huge question of ‘who is a Jew’ still looms large - this is a thought provoking discussion and a well written book on a fascinating topic to many.
