About
Prof. Hizky Shoham (Bar-Ilan University and the Shalom Hartman Institute) explores how modern Jews shape their worlds through holidays, life-cycle rituals, and emotional life. His latest book traces the history and significance of the bar and bat mitzvah. His guiding idea: there is no such thing as Judaism—only Judaisms.
