To understand the organizing framework of modern Judaism, Eliyahu Stern believes that
we should look deeper and farther than the Holocaust, the establishment of the State
of Israel, and the influence and affluence of American Jewry. Against the revolutionary
backdrop of mid-nineteenth-century Europe, Stern unearths the path that led a group
of rabbis, scientists, communal leaders, and political upstarts to reconstruct the
core tenets of Judaism and join the vanguard of twentieth-century revolutionary politics.
In the face of dire poverty and rampant anti-Semitism, they mobilized Judaism for
projects directed at ensuring the fair and equal distribution of resources in society.
Their program drew as much from the universalism of Karl Marx and Charles Darwin as
from the messianism and utopianism of biblical and Kabbalistic works. Once described
as a religion consisting of rituals, reason, and rabbinics, Judaism was now also rooted
in land, labor, and bodies. Exhaustively researched, this original, revisionist account
challenges our standard narratives of nationalism, secularization, and de-Judaization.
