  abstract: Sacred Body analyzes exemplary Jewish texts, narratives and cultural practices that show how these artifacts unhinge the "sacred" from the divine and focus instead on the "everyday sacred," earthly existence in order to celebrate life-affirming decisions, actions and relationships and avoid abstraction, metaphysics and apocalypticism.
