Abstract: The article analyses the content of the Jewish magazine “Chidusz”. The journal was created from the transformation of the Jewish religious community the information bulletin of the Jewish religious community in Wrocław and has become one of the most recognised Jewish magazines within the Polish publishing market. The aim of the analysis was, inter alia, to determine the dominant contexts, whether they have a didactic and educational character, and whether they can constitute a valuable source of information for people with Jewish roots. To what extent does “Chidusz” respond to the needs of the young Polish Jewish community? In particular, will young readers obtain information and tips on how to build their Jewish cultural identity, as well as creating a family and bringing up children according to the model of Jewish tradition?

Abstract: In my paper, I would like to focus on the achievements of researchers studyingthe Jewish community and culture in Poland. In recent decades, there havebeen numerous publications in this area. It must be admitted that most ofthem are historical works. However, I would like to draw attention to slightlydispersed studies in the field of social sciences (sociology, psychology, peda-gogy). Who are the researchers who deal with Jewish themes? What are thecommon and individual elements of their scientific approaches? Are all ofthese elements part of the discourse of research on the ‘renaissance of theJewish community and identity’? I would like to look at the explorations ofboth researchers connected with the Jewish environment and ‘outsiders’ (in-cluding young foreign researchers interested in Polish Jews). The scope oftheir research is therefore quite diverse and includes issues such as: buildingJewish identity and institutional structures; religious life and the activities ofreligious and secular associations; relations with dominant culture; informaleducation, Jewish education and family upbringing.
