Who Rules the Synagogue? explores how American Jewry in the
nineteenth century transformed from a lay dominated community to
one whose leading religious authorities were rabbis. Previously,
scholars have chartered the religious history of American Judaism
during this era, but Zev Eleff reinterprets this history through
the lens of religious authority. Early in the century, American
Jews consciously excluded rabbinic forces from playing a role in
their community's development. By the final decades of the 1800s,
ordained rabbis were in full control of America's leading
synagogues and large sectors of American Jewish life, most notably
in the commotion caused by the Pittsburgh rabbinic conference of
1885. Eleff weaves together the significant episodes and debates
that shaped American Judaism during this formative period, and
places this story into the larger context of American religious
history and modern Jewish history.
