They also exemplify what the psychoanalytic approach can contribute to the study of Judaism.Clinical studies illuminate the issue of Jewish identity and psychological significance of the bar mitzvah experience. Theoretical essays throw light on Jewish history, Jewish social and communal behavior, Jewish myths and legends, religious ideas and thoughts.What are the major determinants of Jewish identity?

What is the true nature of Jewish monotheism, and how does it influence Jewish thought and behavior? Who was the actual leader of the Sebastian movement and what role did Sabbatai Sevi himself play?
