Generation "kosher light"

What role do spatial aspects play in the identity work and community building of young Russian-speaking Jews living in Germany today? Alina Gromova accompanied 15 young adults for a year through their daily lives, following them to places such as Jewish gatherings and parties, cafés and apartments, synagogues and clubs. The analysis of encounters between Jewish, Russian, German, Israeli, and Muslim traditions reveals a relaxed approach to Jewish religion and symbolism, Jewish culinary traditions, and fashion. This ethnological study shows that it is a "kosher light" approach, where religion and tradition adapt to the principles of urbanity.
