The Ambivalent Jew established Charles Liebman's reputation as a
leading analyst of contemporary Jewry. Its theme boldly
foreshadowed Liebman's own struggle to weld together disparate
identities. He maintained a lifelong fascination with the Jewish
community of the United States, his birthplace, even as he delved
ever more deeply into the complexities of his chosen home, the
State of Israel. He studies Orthodoxy, but never identified fully
with any single religious movement. He trained as a political
scientist, but wrote a series of seminal studies in the sociology
of the Jews. Charles Liebman had no ambivalence, though, about his
core values. Throughout his life he maintained a profound concern
for the welfare of the Jewish people and never deviated from his
preoccupation with strengthening Jewish life in America and Israel.
Nor was his insistence upon achieving the highest standards of
scholarly integrity negotiable. He committed himself wholeheartedly
to nurturing younger colleagues, acting as a caring critic of their
work and establishing small networks of engaged scholars who shared
his passionate Jewish concerns.
