“Jesus was Jewish” : A qualitative study on Jewish youth's experiences of Swedish school's religious education (English)
Abstract [en]

This study examines how six Jewish youth in Stockholm County experience their Jewish identity in relation to religious education and the surrounding culture. The investigation is based on three research questions: (1) How do Jewish youth perceive the representation of Judaism in school's religious education? (2) How do they feel that their Jewish identity has been influenced by religious education? (3) What impact does the cultural life outside of school have on the Jewish identity of the youth? Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data, and a thematic analysis was used to process the material. The theoretical framework for the study consists of Nancy Ammerman's theory of public narratives and identity narratives. The results indicate that the respondents are dissatisfied with how Judaism is represented in religious education. It has also not affected their identity as much as the cultural aspects. This dissatisfaction arises from the education being too general, lacking focus on lived religion, and using Christianity as a reference frame. Therefore, the respondents demand a more inclusive and nuanced approach to religious education.
