Abstract

This book review summarizes the methodology and broad coverage of Professor Kwall's examination of her premise: that even a "cultural Jew" is "molded and shaped by...Jewish law." The review describes the use of cultural analysis in this context and its remarkable similarities to Jewish legal analysis.

Keywords: cultural analysis, religious law, Jewish law
