It examines how the Jewish religion and the Jewish People have been influenced by the media and the media age. In order to understand contemporary Jewish identity in the twentieth and twenty-first century, one needs to go beyond the Synagogue, Jewish customs and law (halakhah) and the holy days to incorporate such modern phenomena as mass media and their impact upon Jewish existence. The book seeks to provide a comprehensive, yet easy-to-read text, examining the manifold interactions between Jewish religious identity and mass media. 

      As a religious system influenced by news values and mass media inputs, Mediated Judaism is necessarily influenced by the market forces of news values. Much in religion is not newsworthy. Much in religion does not concern such newsworthy elements as social conflict or elites. Religious belief, often drawing upon the sub-conscious, does not fit such criteria of newsworthiness. Religion-related items that do get defined as news do not stay for long upon the news agenda but are replaced  by what else is happening in the news agenda at any particular time.
