Recenzii
Cleveland has played an out-sized role in American Jewish history. The essays in this book help to explain why. Many of the themes taken up in this volume illuminate the American Jewish experience as a whole.
""All those essays are informative, and if any of these areas coincide with your own interests, I will not hesitate to recommend these essays along with their voluminous footnotes. Their scholarship is undeniable."
"Taken together, these essays speak to the religious diversity of Cleveland Jews and to the ongoing significance of migration across national and municipal borders....One hopes that these essays will help lay the groundwork for more extensive studies of Cleveland Jewish life beyond the alphabet soup of Jewish organizations in the twentieth century."
"This book complements previous research on Midwestern Jewish communities well. It will be a useful read for scholars of urban Jewish history between the coasts, those in the local Cleveland community, and students of post-World War II Jewish history more broadly... I was wowed by the impressive collections of the WRHS and will refer back to the volume’s wonderfully rich and unique contributions to post-World War II Jewish history."
Descriere
This volume gathers an array of voices to tell the stories of Cleveland’s twentieth century Jewish community. Strong and stable after an often turbulent century, the Jews of Cleveland had both deep ties in the region and an evolving and dynamic commitment to Jewish life.
