"American Jewry" explores new transnational questions in Jewish
history, analyzing the historical, cultural and social experience
of American Jewry from 1654 to the present day, and evaluates the
relationship between European and American Jewish history. Did the
hopes of Jewish immigrants to establish an independent American
Judaism in a free and pluralistic country come to fruition? How did
Jews in America define their relationship to the 'Old World' of
Europe, both before and after the Holocaust? What are the
religious, political and cultural challenges for American Jews in
the twenty-first century? Internationally renowned scholars come
together in this volume to present new research on how immigration
from Western and Eastern Europe established a new and distinctively
American Jewish identity that went beyond the traditions of Europe,
yet remained attached in many ways to its European origins.
