Jewish Mind

Examines the Jewish mind and personality through three millennia, looking at the ways six historical encounters between the Jews and other cultures have left their mark on Jewish consciousness. Explores Jewish intelligence and the phenomenology of special Jewish talents, factors affecting mental health, and Jewish values and the roots of Jewish self-hate. This new edition includes a postscript discussing changes in the world situation in the two decades since the first edition was published. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
