The Making of Jewish Universalism: From Exile to Alexandria
(2016)
Book •
Malka Simkovich's "The Making of Jewish Universalism" examines the transformation of Jewish identity during the exilic and post-exilic periods.
It analyzes how the experience of exile in Babylon and the subsequent encounter with Hellenistic culture in Alexandria shaped the development of Jewish universalism.
The book traces the evolution of Jewish thought as it grappled with questions of identity, inclusion, and the relationship between Judaism and the broader world.
It argues that the encounter with different cultures and the challenges of maintaining Jewish identity in diaspora led to new understandings of Jewishness.
By examining key texts and historical contexts, Simkovich sheds light on the intellectual and cultural forces that shaped early Jewish universalism.
