About this Item
Description:
Publishers cloth. 8vo. XIX, 363 pages. 23 cm. First edition. "This book explores reactions to issues viewed as of major importance by the editors of â The American Hebrew' of New York in the years 1879-1884, 1894-1898 and 1903-1908. Since its inception in 1879 and until World War 1, the â Hebrew' was a leading Anglo-Jewish weekly, which helped to mold the structure and attitudes of the community's English-speaking sectors. Responsible for it was the unique character of the nine-member founding editorial board, mostly of national prominence in religious and civic life. They remained anonymous until 1929. Desire for total integration into American society as well as fear of assimilation and pride in Jewish particularism produced a community in conflict. " (Publishers description) .
