Reviews for Judaism in North America: An Introduction

This is a highly welcomed compilation of scholarship on contemporary American Jewry, which provides an updated perspective and fresh analysis on the recent developments of Judaism in North America. Such a publication has not appeared for many years and is long overdue. The collection includes illustrations that add life and substance to the scholarly essays. Highly recommended. * Yaakov Ariel, Professor of Religious Studies, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA *
