| Description: |
What does it mean to be a Jew in America? What opportunities and what threats does the great melting pot represent for a group that has traditionally defined itself as 'a people that must dwell alone'? This title charts the attempts of American Jewish thinkers to adapt the notion of chosenness to an American context. |
| Synopsis: |
Eisen analyzes the attempts of American Jewish thinkers to adapt the notion of closeness to the context of the new country. He traces the reinterpretations of "second-generation" American Jews and examines the "third generation" (1955 to the present). |
