Abstract

Jews have lived in Central Asia since antiquity and as such were integral part of the respective societies. With the demise of the Soviet Union and the large-scale emigration of Jews from the region, new understandings of being Jewish, in distinction from Uzbek or Tajik identities emerged. Central to these processes is the formulation of religion in distinction from culture, through which a separation from Jewish and non-Jewish (i.e. Muslim) elements is accomplished. This chapter traces these processes in connection with global religious movements, the establishment of the state of Israel, and as living as a minority in Austria.
