Jewish Polity and American Civil Society is a study of the civic
and political engagements of American Jews as mediated by their
communal and denominational institutions. The book explores how the
various branches of the organized Jewish community seek to
influence public affairs. Over the course of the last century,
Jewish agencies and religious movements have tried to shape public
debate and public policy on such issues as civil rights,
church-state relations, and American foreign policy. The book sets
the history of Jewish engagement in these areas into historical
context; analyzes the motives, strategies, and tactics of various
Jewish groups, and evaluates their successes and failures. The book
also explores the underlying idea the public philosophy that
informs American Jews' understanding of civic and political
engagement.
