Jewish Continuity and How To Achieve It
"Handing on a tradition, a way of life and an identity is what successive
generations have done since the days of Abraham and Sarah, with a persistence
that has no rival in the chronicles of human civilisation. But how to do so in
an age in which Jewish identity has become weak, fragmented, and confused
is altogether more difficult. It is a predicament which we have faced only
rarely in our past. It is this that marks our time as a new era in Jewish history."
- Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
The Jewish people, having survived for thousands of years in the most adverse
circumstances, including the Holocaust and horrific terrorist attacks, is to-
day also threatened by intermarriage and assimilation. Jewish communities
throughout the diaspora are experiencing demographic decline: Why has this
happened, and can anything be done to reverse the trend?
The particular challenge facing Jews is how Jewish identity may be sustained
in an open, secular society. The greatest danger is failure to recognise that
times have changed and that, in consequence, communal priorities need to
change also.
In Will We Have Jewish Grandchildren?, first published in 1994, Rabbi Sacks
issues an inspiring summons to collective action to counteract the prevail-
ing trend and hand on the age-old faith and traditions to a new generation.
Will We Have Jewish Grandchildren? is a powerful study of Jewish continuity:
why it matters how it was achieved in the past, and how it can be created
in the future. It suggests an answer to the question that will increasingly
dominate the agenda of contemporary Jewry.
