A Walker in Jerusalem by Samuel C Heilman
There are two Jerusalems writes Heilman, one in which people actually live and the other that lives in them. It is the idea of Jerusalem, the imaginatively reconstructed city that exists in the memories and attachments of the many faiths that live and visit here, that Heilman explores as he walks about every corner of the city, discovering its layers of history and culture.
Samuel C. Heilman is Distinguished Professor of Sociology and holds the Harold M. Proshansky Chair in Jewish Studies and Sociology at the City University of New York. He is also on the faculty of Queens College, CUNY. Heilman is the author of When a Jew Dies: The Ethnography of a Bereaved Son (California, 2002), winner of the National Jewish Book Award and the Koret Jewish Book Award; Defenders of the Faith (California, 1999); and Synagogue Life (1998), among other books.
