Douglas Rushkoff

A prolific author and professor of media studies at The New School, Douglas Rushkoff is a prescient observer of the Jewish community. His 2004 book, “Nothing Sacred: The Truth About Judaism,” advanced his advocacy of an “Open Source Judaism” that draws on the Jewish traditions of iconoclasm and no-holds-barred inquiry. He is a frequent critic of what he describes as contemporary Judaism’s tendency to unquestioningly follow accepted wisdom and authority figures.
