Episode 327: The Myth of the 12 Tribes of Israel - Andrew Tobolowsky
from Judaism Unbound · host Institute for the Next Jewish Future
Andrew Tobolowsky, author of a new book entitled The Myth of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, joins Dan and Lex to talk about what the Twelve Tribes of Israel myth is, and why it matters. They explore the ways in which groups have mobilized it -- all around the world -- for a few thousand years, and how that conversation across the millennia can help us better understand how people (and communities) continually construct and reinvent their identities.
