Customer Reviews

A reliable guide and reference

I found this book an excellent foundation for understanding the many faces of American Judaism. I had the opportunity to read the whole book cover to cover while recovering from an accident, and found that it fleshed out facets of the Jewish experience I had heard about elsewhere. Some of my perceptions of history were challenged, all were deepened. And I still use it as a reference.
