Item Description:

The last half of the 20th Century could very well be considered the Golden Age of American Jewry. But as history has taught us, when Jews get too comfortable in whatever land they are privileged to dwell, the temptation to fit in and become like their hosts can wreak havoc on the Torah ideals that have formed the foundation of the Jewish religion since the dawn of time. Rabbi Wein breaks down the impact of the Holocaust, the founding of the State of Israel and the struggle of Soviet Jewry on the fabric of American Jewry to this day.
