Jews and the American Public Square is a study of how Jews have
grappled with the presence of religion, both their own and others,
in American public life. It surveys historical Jewish approaches to
church-state relations and analyzes Jewish responses to the
religion clauses of the First Amendment. The book also explores how
the contemporary sociological and political characteristics of
American Jews bear on their understanding of the public dimensions
of American religion. In addition to a descriptive and analytic
approach. the volume is also critical and polemical. Its
contributors attack and defend prevailing views, raise critical
questions about the political and intellectual positions favored by
American Jews, and propose new syntheses. This book captures the
current mood of the Jewish community: both committed to the
separation of church and state and perplexed about its scope and
application. It provides the necessary background for a principled
reconsideration of the problem of religion in the public square.
