Alan T. Levenson considers the fundamental issue of what one can and cannot achieve in a semester's introduction to Jews and/or Judaism. He offers a minimalist, pedagogically driven compromise between coverage and concept, that is, a course that provides both historical development and Jewish concepts, practices, and doctrines. He discusses the assigments and organization of his survey course, which is divided into the four basic eras of Jewish history as defined by the first couple of generations of Wissenschaft des Judentums scholars. A syllabus is included.

Levenson argues that syncretism (blending) and surrogacy (replacing) constitute two distinct, prevalent, radical, yet largely overlooked forms of assimilation in the modern era. As examples of syncretism, he offers Jewish-Christianity and Jewish-Buddhism; as examples of surrogacy, secular Zionism and psychoanalysis. He distinguishes these two modes of assimilation both from older forms of inward acculturation which wittingly or unwittingly incorporated outside influences into an agreed-upon Jewish culture, and from more moderate forms of modern assimilation, such as the formation of Jewish subcultures or the transformation of Jewish identities into functional replacements for a religiously oriented civilization. Recognizing that older concepts of essentialism have been discredited by the academy, the author explores the nature of syncretism and surrogacy as an encouragement to greater reflection on the radical implications of these changes for modern Jewry.
