Speaking to the profound cultural investment in quantified forms of knowledge and representation--whether discussing the Holocaust or counting the numbers of Israeli and American Jews--these essays reveal a social life of Jewish numbers. As they trace the uses of numerical frameworks, they portray how Jews define, negotiate, and enact matters of Jewish collectivity. The contributors offer productive perspectives into ubiquitous yet often overlooked aspects of the modern Jewish experience.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Taking Stock is...an important contribution to a Jewish conversation about how we understand who we are and how we put this knowledge to use. The editors are to be commended for curating this argument in a way that will provoke further discussion and new consideration of quantitative data about individuals and communities.</p>-- "Contemporary Jewry"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Michal Kravel-Tovi is Lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University.
