How to behave in the diaspora has been a central problem for Jews over the ages, and it was also a central problem in the Joseph stories in the Book of Genesis. This work demonstrates the grand alternatives of Judaism, instilled in two larger-than-life figures. |
| Synopsis: |
How to behave in the diaspora has been a central problem for Jews over the ages. They have debated whether to assimilate by adopting local customs or whether to remain a God-centered people loyal to their temporal rulers but maintaining the peculiar customs that separated them from their host nations. The question not only of survival, but of the basis for survival, is also a central problem in the Joseph stories of the Book of Genesis. The work shows its readers the grand alternatives of Judaism, instilled in two larger-than-life fi gures, so its readers can reassess for themselves the road Judaism did not take, and understand why Joseph, though admirable in many respects, is left out of the rest of the Bible. |
