- W2978342877 abstract "Abstract This book presents the first ethnographic study of the meaning and experience of chanting Torah among contemporary Jews, cross-denominationally, in the United States. Focusing on the experiences of Ashkenazi Jews at the beginning of the twenty-first century, this book examines why, and how, growing numbers of American Jews see the performance of biblical text as meaningful and authentic religious expression. Americans are exploring how they can have deeper access to core religious experience, and chanting sacred text is an important way that Jews are increasingly placing themselves at the center of the worship service. In conversations with hundreds of Reform, Conservative and Orthodox men and women, we see how the performance of Torah both embodies and reconceptualizes these Jews’ understanding of historical religious practice and contemporary spiritual experience. Many factors—the use of digital technology, the influence of feminism, the individual’s stress on self-fulfillment, changing concepts of religious experience—have transformed how congregants and clergy teach, learn and understand this ritual. This book examines the dynamics of a radical shift in Jewish life where the experience of the individual increasingly takes precedence over communal responsibility, authority and religious obligation. Based on hundreds of ethnographic interviews with Torah readers, an analysis of congregational reception and an examination of the aesthetics of chant performance, this book presents a reconceptualization of spiritual experience in contemporary Jewish life where holiness becomes real at the intersection of chant, the individual, community and sacred text." @default.
