In This Time and In This Place: American Jewry 3.0

In This Time and In This Place brings together, for the first time, a comprehensive collection of Dr. Steven Windmueller's commentaries on politics, power and religion. This anthology explores the various elements that have defined the American Jewish story, including the trends that have shaped American Judaism, its institutions, policies and practices; the relationship between Jewish and other constituencies; the principles of Jewish communal leadership and management; and the impact of global anti-Semitism. These and other themes comprise this body of work, drawn from more than twenty-five years of Dr. Windmueller's communal practice and academic engagement.

Dr. Steven Windmueller is a Jewish communal professional and educator. He launched his career more than forty years ago on the staff of the American Jewish Committee, where he served for twelve years as the executive director of the Jewish federation in Albany, New York (1973-1985), and for ten years as the executive director of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation's Community Relations Committee (1985-1995). Since then, Dr. Windmueller has spent nearly twenty years at the Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles, first directing its School of Jewish Communal Service (now the School of Jewish Nonprofit Management) and then serving for four years (2006-10) as the dean of the LA campus.

A specialist on political issues and American Jewish affairs, Dr. Windmueller has written and lectured extensively on Jewish public and civic affairs, the Middle East, and global social trends.
