DESCRIPTION:In this powerful collection of personal narratives, forty Jews of diverse 
 backgrounds tell a wide range of stories about the roads they have traveled 
 from a Zionist world view to activism in solidarity with Palestinians and 
 Israelis striving to build an inclusive society founded on justice, 
 equality, and peaceful coexistence.\n\nReclaiming Judaism from Zionism will 
 be controversial.  Its contributors welcome the long overdue public debate. 
  They want to demolish stereotypes of dissenting Jews as 'self-hating,' 
 traitorous, and anti-Semitic.  They want to introduce readers to the large 
 and growing community of Jewish activists who have created organizations 
 such as Jewish Voice for Peace, If Not Now, and Open Hillel. They want to 
 strengthen alliances with progressives of all faiths. Above all, they want 
 to nurture models of Jewish identity that replace ethnic exclusiveness with 
 solidarity, Zionism with a Judaism once again nourished by a transcendent 
 ethical vision.\n\nLinda Hess is senior lecturer emerita in the Department 
 of Religious Studies at Stanford University.  \n\nSydney Levy, a queer 
 Latinx, is a co-coordinator of the caucus of Jews of Color, Sephardic and 
 Mizrahi Jews in solidarity with Palestine, and a steering committee member 
 of both the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights and the Global Jewish 
 Network in Solidarity with Palestine.\n\nHilton Obenzinger is a recipient 
 of the American Book Award. His books include This Passover and the Next I 
 Will Never Be in Jerusalem (1980), American Palestine: Melville, Twain, and 
 the Holy Land Mania (1999), and Treyf Pesach (2017). He is currently 
 Associate Director of the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project 
 at Stanford University.\n\nHenri Picciotto served on the JVP Board of 
 Directors from 2002 to 2009 and chaired it for much of that period.   He 
 has authored or co-authored many books and articles on math 
 education.\n\nCecilie Surasky has worked as a professional communicator in 
 a variety of social justice movements, and her film work and political 
 analysis has been featured in film festivals and news outlets all over the 
 world.\n\nJordan Wilson-Dalzell is a queer poet writing about intersections 
 of disability, feminism, Judaism, survivorhood and social justice; her next 
 poetry book, Baptism by Flame, will be about finding a home in Judaism that 
 reflects her values. \n
