sbahour's review against another edition
4.0
“Wow. Wow. Wow. A riveting, densely packed, bottom-up tour de force on Jewish Palestine solidarity work.
A heavy dose of intellectual food for thought on those working on reclaiming Judaism, painfully transforming from indoctrination to enlightenment, by consciously “unlearning” with a bold determination to employ the Jewish tradition of social justice in the struggle to end the nightmare Zionism, through Israel, has brought upon Judaism.
This deep dive research is founded on dozens of interviews with those American Jews acting in “critical caretaking” of their Judaism while in the trenches of social justice to dismantle and rebuild the doxa they have been brought up to believe.
The book addresses the dynamics and inner workings of the intersectionality of Palestine solidarity work as it relates to the Movement for Black Lives, the Church, and the LGBTQI communities.
Bottom line, Judaism is just as beautiful and convoluted as all religions, and where there is a will to constructively employ it in advancing social justice it is powerful.
Days of Awe informs us that, not only is their hope but hope is being played out—here and now—as we live through these turbulent times."
