Summary: Jewish peoplehood has eclipsed religion--as well as ethnicity and nationality--as the prevailing definition of what it means to be a Jew. In Jewish Peoplehood, Noam Pianko examines the history, the current significance, and the future relevance of a term that assumes an increasingly important position in American Jewish and Israeli life.
