Recenzii
This wide-ranging volume provides a new look at many aspects of the American Jewish experience. By exploring the roots of American Jewry in Europe and by viewing the American and European centers of Jewish life in comparison to one another, the authors of these essays help us to understand American Jewish life in a larger context. With their help, it is now easier to discern what is distinctive about American Jewish history and what that history shares with Jewish experiences elsewhere.
The volume by Wiese and Wilhelm . [looks] at the relationship of American Jewry to the European Jewish experience and offers a spectrum of valuable insights.
