About this title

Synopsis

The changes wrought by American life on the religious and cultural character of the Jewish community in the United States have produced a distinct and new kind of Jewish society. In this book, Dr. Stuart Rosenberg brings the insights of history, sociology, and psychology to a penetrating analysis of the American Jewish community from the colonial period to the present. Dr. Rosenberg discusses, among other topics, the constant tension between ethnic cultural awareness and religious faith (]ewishness versus Judaism); the rise of Jewish denominations; the changes in traditional Jewish institutions the role of the rabbi, the modification of the synagogue from a place solely for worship to a center of community religious and social life, and the growing popularity of the yeshivas.
