Raphael Patai examines how six great historical encounters  spanning three millennia  between the Jews and other cultures led to both change and continuity in Jewish communities throughout the global diaspora.  A Timeless Analysis by a Prominent Scholar  Patai  a noted cultural anthropologist and historian  drew on a lifetime of research and personal experience to explore the contemporary Jewish mind in its many manifestations  including an exploration of the notion of Jews as a race  an investigation into Jewish intelligence and talents  a discussion of Jewish self-hate  and a profile of Jewish personality and character.  An Insightful New Foreword by Ari L. Goldman  Bestselling author and journalist Ari L. Goldman places the book in the context of recent turbulent events  especially in the Middle East  and confirms Patai s conclusion that Judaism remains of enormous value to humankind. Goldman calls the book a brilliant and absorbing survey of everything poured into the Jewish mind over the millennia. The Jewish Mind is a towering work of scholarship that remains relevant to anyone trying to understand Jewish culture and society around the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44944974610485,"sku":"ByrdShop_0684148781","price":59.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780684148786.jpg?v=1769864396","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-jewish-mind","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
