First published in 1957, Nathan Glazer's classic, historical study
of Judaism in America has been described by the "New York Times
Book Review" as "a remarkable story . . . told briefly and clearly
by an objective historical mind, yet with a fine combination of
sociological insight and religious sensitivity."
Glazer's new introduction describes the drift away from the popular
equation of American Judaism with liberalism during the last two
decades and considers the threat of divisiveness within American
Judaism. Glazer also discusses tensions between American Judaism
and Israel as a result of a revivified Orthodoxy and the
disillusionment with liberalism.
""American Judaism" has been arguably the best known and most used
introduction to the study of the Jewish religion in the United
States. . . . It is an inordinately clear-sighted work that can be
read with much profit to this day."--"American Jewish History"
(1987)
