Description

Messianism, Secrecy and Mysticism tells the history of the Early American Jews, focusing on the objects of everyday life used and created by Jews, such as ritual baths, food, gravestones, portraits, furniture, as well as the synagogue. By uncovering these objects and exposing the common culture of the Jewish Atlantic World, Messianism, Secrecy and Mysticism provides a fresh understanding of a crucial era in Jewish and American history. Laura Leibman also offers new insights about the origins of Jewish American messianism, helping readers better understand messianism in contemporary American society. The book charts the shared culture of these Jews living in the port towns on both sides of the Atlantic, and the author argues that thinking about Judaism as an embodied religion is key to understanding their culture.
