Adapting to the shifting characteristics of the American Jewish
population and the larger society of the United States, the
synagogue has consistently served as American Jewry's vital forum
for the exploration of the evolving ideological and social concerns
of American Jews. From the Americanization of an immigrant
congregation in Seattle to the growth of a synagogue center in
Brooklyn, and from the agitation for religious reform in early
nineteenth-century Charlestown to the introduction of American folk
music in a Houston temple, the cases studied in this volume attest
to the prominent role of the synagogue in shaping, as well as
adapting to, social, cultural, and ideological trends. The book
begins with an overview of the historical transformation and
denominational differentiation of American synagogues. The essays
in the second section offer in-depth analyses of the critical
challenges to and changes in synagogue life through innovative
studies of representative congregations. The problems of geographic
relocation, the conflict between ethnic preservation and
acculturation, the development of education in the synagogue, and
the changing role of women in the congregation are all examined.
