Divided into three sections, this work explains how the concepts
and practices of traditional European Judaism were adapted to North
American culture beginning in the late nineteenth century. Part I
focuses on the ideas and activities of Cyrus Adler (1863-1940), one
of the most prominent leaders of the traditionalist Jewish
community in the United States in his era. The issues in these
essays include the origins of American Jewish history as a field of
study, the Kehilla experiments of the early twentieth century, and
the relationship between the Jewish Theological Seminary and
Orthodox Judaism. Part II deals with the beginnings of Hasidic
Judaism in North America prior to the Second World War. It also
includes several studies investigating the shaping of the worldview
of Orthodox Judaism in contemporary North America. Part III
examines the issue of contemporary American Jewish attitudes toward
evolution and intelligent design.
