Enduring Jewish Communities around the World: Models of Effective Communication employs an organizational communication perspective to examine how strong internal and external communications have helped Jewish communities survive globally in unlikely locations, harsh circumstances, and periods of violent antisemitism. Drawing on in-depth interviews with religious and community leaders of nine international Jewish communities, Joshua Azriel contends that communication is a part of Judaism’s core and a powerful, informal tool that has been used over millennia by its followers to sustain their communities, culture, and religion. Scholars of communication, religion, history, and Jewish studies will find this book of particular interest.

Reviews for Enduring Jewish Communities around the World: Models of Effective Communication

Professor Azriel’s investigation into nine disparate Jewish communities around the globe is enlightening. None are alike apart from being small, isolated, and Jewish. Each reflects the culture of which they are a part and their unique interpretation of the purpose of a Jewish community. All of them have remained vibrant against all odds. Offering a fascinating glimpse into the history, religion, and challenges they face, Azriel’s research sheds light on these communities and the people who have sustained them. This study should interest not just readers who are interested in the diversity of Judaism but also in people intrigued by how small minorities have been able to sustain themselves in the midst of serious threats. -- Glenn Sharfman, Oglethorpe University
