Jung and the Jewish Experience

Reflections by a Jungian Analyst

About this book

Drawing on Jewish myth, ritual and tradition, as well as the author's own experiences, this original and unique book offers insights into how Jung's psychology and ideas are relevant if understood from a wider, archetypal, perspective.

Jung's writings, especially his amplification and interpretation of spiritual and theological rituals and ideas, focus almost entirely on Christianity and have very little to say about Judaism. By applying a Jungian understanding of selected Jewish topics and stories, and interspersed with anecdotes from the author's own life, this book will add much needed insight to both the Jungian and Jewish realms. Covering topics ranging from dreams, forgiveness, scapegoating, and Jerusalem to hope, resilience, and humor, this extraordinary book explores important aspects of Judaism through a Jungian lens.

This will be essential reading for anyone interested in exploring a Jungian approach to aspects of Judaism, as well as those interested in the fields of theology literature, spirituality, history, and myth.
