This Christian conception of belief structures the most familiar understandings of modern secularism, articulated most famously by John Locke in his "Letter Concerning Toleration." Tucker reads Locke's "Letter"' alongside Jewish philosopher/rabbi Moses Mendelssohn's 1783 critique of Locke, Jerusalem: Or On Religious Power and Judaism, and the Jewish tradition of the minyan, making a case for the existence of an alternative history of publicness borrowing from Jewish conceptions of communal life and the proper relations of actions and ideas. In throwing light on a genealogy of Jewish practices aimed at the deliberate creation of collectives constituted by their grappling with contingent, historical time, Tucker argues for the existence of a Jewish tradition of republicanism, of democracy.

This book is full of love—of history and family. There are eight contributors from many cities and countries whose stories reflect the social and political upheavals of the previous century. There are snapshot portraits painted of people going back sixteen generations. The first is David Mitzkun, circa 1580, from Lithuania. The family tree was translated from Hebrew by a genealogist who created a descendants report with most of the names and dates of these sixteen generations. The youngest is a toddler in the newest generation. There are photos from the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries as well as historical documents. Included in the book is the story of recovery of the tree drawn by the author’s great-grandfather and family members who found one another as result. This wonderful story has been televised as well as printed as a front page article of a New Jersey newspaper in 2014.
