Following a comprehensive historical introduction, Professors Sarna
and Dalin present a wide range of primary source materials
articulating the different positions held within the American
Jewish community on numerous past and present church-state issues:
including former state Sunday Laws, or "blue laws"; dress code
variations for Orthodox Jews in the military; kosher food for
Jewish prisoners; school prayer; public displays of religious
symbols; and whether all religious symbols should be removed from
public arenas. The chapters proceed chronologically, from the
colonial period to the present day, giving readers an understanding
of the changes that occurred over several centuries. This book
recovers the divergent voices and opinions of the American Jewish
community, revealing that one single voice on these issues has
never been capable of accommodating the rich variety of positions
within the community. By gathering these divergent outlooks in one
sourcebook, Sarna and Dalin offer a unique and well-documented look
at a major aspect of being Jewish in America.
