Can Jews be allowed to become boring?With Israel and antisemitism constantly in the news, it seems as though the Jewish people – a fraction of a percentage of the world’s population – have become synonymous with controversy, drama and anxiety. But what if there was another side to this persistently interesting people; one that non-Jews often don’t know about and Jews rarely talk about? This is the stuff of ‘everyday’ Jewishness; the capacity to be ordinary, mundane and sometimes just plain dull.Keith Kahn-Harris lifts the lid on this surprising world in a book for Jews and non-Jews alike. Arguing that his people’s extraordinary public visibility today is harming their ability to live everyday Jewish lives, he celebrates the mundanity and mediocrity of a people before it vanishes completely.
