Description and Table of Contents
Description
Within a broad-based and comprehensive analysis, author David Schnall examines ten major issues facing the Jewish community today. The focus of this timely book shifts easily from the domestic to the international, from the political to the religious developments in the Jewish community as it relates to American Jewry, the State of Israel, and Zionism. Professionals in communal service, scholars of Jewish studies, and the interested lay reader will find this important new volume to be both accessible and enlightening.
