Reviews
Neusner continues to supply scholars and informed laypersons alike with insightful works on Judaism. His premise here is the question, Why did the Judaism of the Torahi.e., Orthodoxywork when it did, and why did it stop working? His answer is a fascinating discourse on seven new JudaismsConservative, Reform, Revisionist, Jewish Socialism, Yiddishism, Zionism, and the Judaism of Holocaust and Redemptionand the way they fit into contemporary America. Neusner breaks new ground on the influence of the Holocaust on American Jews, speaking of a "re-ethnicization of American life." His conclusion is a surprise: "Today . . . there is a reversion, a re-entry into, that Judaism of the . . . Torah (Orthodoxy) that had so long repelled so many." Gerda Haas, Holocaust Human Rights Ctr. of Maine, Augusta
