“…The treatment of ‘Jewishness materialised’, a transforming, and constantly contested assemblage (Feldt and Zuckerman 2021 , 13), also shows how boundaries with the non-Jewish environment are demarcated. In that sense, heritage interventions must be interpreted as both a cause and a consequence of internal and external threats to the Jewish community.…”

This article explores how rabbis, directors and members of Amsterdam’s Jewish religious communities view the heritagisation of Jewish religious life by analysing how they interact with Amsterdam’s main synagogues and their collections of ceremonial objects. It focuses on the synagogues of the Jewish Cultural Quarter – the Portuguese Synagogue with its accompanying Sephardi community, and the former Ashkenazi synagogue complex, now the Jewish Museum. From a dynamic heritage perspective, this heterogeneous constellation raises questions about how and why heritage making occurs here. Following a Constructivist Grounded Theory methodology, concurrent data collection and analysis let emerge interrelated conceptual categories that explain how communities interact with these functioning and musealised synagogues and objects: Embodying the transmission of tradition ; Instrumentalising the heritage of Jewish religious life ; Transforming the beauty of holiness ; and Assembling in heritagised synagogues . These categories intersect in the core category of the Jewish religious heritage continuum , which this article presents as a dynamic embodiment of remembering, reconnection, and revival of Jewish tradition. For the interviewees, these performances, and the deployment of functioning and musealised synagogues and collections, form a cultural apparatus that marks their present, diverse and living material culture and grafts a Jewish future onto a Jewish past.

“…Der er også sket en betydelig kulturel aendring i forhold til forståelsen af jødisk solidaritet og kollektivitet. Jødiskhed bliver igen italesat og opført (performed) som et faellesanliggende, der er autentisk, relevant, berigende og aegte for jøder i USA i 2020 (Feldt & Zuckerman 2019). Teologiske, regionale og politiske forskelle opvejes nu af et sammensurium af udtryk og former, der signalerer jødisk solidaritet.…”

Jeg viser i denne artikel, hvordan corona-pandemien sammen med sommerens raceuroligheder har rystet de amerikansk-jødiske samfund i deres fundament. Nødvendighed og krise, usikkerhed, nye tankeformer og idealisme er tilsammen i gang med at omforme, hvordan jødisk liv bliver levet i dagens Amerika. Empirisk beskriver jeg fire forskellige faser, som det amerikansk-jødiske samfund foreløbig har undergået gennem krisen. Teoretisk argumenterer jeg for, at disse faser viser, hvordan krisen har igangsat en omkalfatring af amerikansk-jødiske kerneværdier, hvor jødisk solidaritet og enhed igen fremstår som centrale værdier, der samler det jødiske samfund og jøder som gruppe. Samtidig udfordrer denne nyfundne solidaritet jøderne i deres forhold til landets øvrige problemstillinger og befolkningsgrupper.
