Morphology

theme + of + Jewiness

The phrase is a straightforward compositional construction: 'theme of X' + the noun 'Jewiness' (the quality or character of being Jewish). If a learner knows the constituents, the meaning — a topic relating to Jewish identity/culture — follows directly from standard English noun + of constructions and the transparent morphological formation (analogous to 'Englishness'), so it is readily derivable.

Etymology

Theme of Jewiness names a repeated topic about Jewish identity, culture, or experience. It comes from the simple idea of theme (a repeated idea) plus Jewiness (the qualities of being 'Jewish'), so it means a work keeps returning to those Jewish topics.
