| Title | 'Today the situation with Jews in Croatia is just ugly' From Division to Pluralism in Croatian Jewish Community |
| Summary | The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the current situation of the division in the Croatian Jewish community goes beyond the binary discourse of revival vs. disappearance of Jewish communal life in post-communist Europe. The emergence of Bet Israel, an Orthodox religious community in Croatia, in 2006 serves as a case study for examining the impact of internal and external determinates on the group(s) making process. The methodology employed to argue the hypothesis involves qualitative research conducted in Zagreb, in April 2016, with three generations of Croatian Jews. Findings of the research propose that there is a strong need for belonging to a significant Jewish group among Jews in Croatia. Expressed in different institutional options, it reflects the plurality of groupness crystallization processes. |
