Remix Judaism: Preserving Tradition in a Diverse World offers an eloquent and thoughtful new vision for all Jews seeking a sense of belonging in a changing world, regardless of their current level of observance. Kwall sets out a process of selection, rejection, and modification of rituals that allow for a focus on Jewish tradition rather than on the technicalities of Jewish law. Her goal is not to sell her own religious practices to readers but, rather, to encourage them to find their own personal meaning in Judaism outside the dictates of Commandment by broadening their understanding of how law, culture and tradition fit together. In Remix Judaism, Kwall inspires her audience to be intentional and mindful about the space they allocate for these elements in defining their individual Jewish journeys and identities.
Roberta Rosenthal Kwall is the Raymond P. Niro Professor at DePaul University College of Law. She earned her JD from the University of Pennsylvania, an MA in Jewish Studies and a BA in American Studies and Religion. Kwall is the author of The Myth of the Cultural Jew: Culture and Law in Jewish Tradition (OUP, 2015) and The Soul of Creativity (Stanford UP, 2010). Her OpEds and articles on topics of relevance to the Jewish community have appeared in The Chicago Tribune, JTA, Commentary, The Forward, The Jewish Journal, The Jewish Week and Jewish Philanthropy.
