Formed In The Middle Decades Of The Twentieth Century, All The Settledupon Pillars Of American Jewish Selfdefinition (Americanism, Zionism, And Liberalism) Have Begun To Falter In The First Decades Of The Twentyfirst. The Binding Trauma Of Holocaust Memory Grows Evermore Attenuated; Soon There Will No Longer Be Any Living Survivors. After Two Millennia Of Jewish Life Defined By Diasporic Existence, The Majority Of The Worlds Jews Will Live In A Sovereign Jewish State By 2050. Against The Backdrop Of National Political Crises, Resurgent Global Antisemitism, And Ongoing Wars In The Middle East, Leifer Provides An Illuminating And Meticulously Reported Map Of Contemporary Jewish Life As Well As A Sober Conjecture About Its Future.Leifer Begins With The History Of Jewish Immigrants In America, Starting With The Story Of His Own Ancestry, The Arrival From A Belarusian Shtetl Of His Greatgrandmother, Bessie, And Following Each Subsequent Generation As It Conformed To The Prevailing Codes Of American Jewish Life. He Then Goes On To Report On The State Of Todays Burning Jewish Issues, Building On Interviews With Those Living Daily Across The Varied Fault Lines Of The Jewish Conversation. We Meet Millennial Jewish Racial Justice Organizers Trying To Build New Communities Grounded In Social Action; Orthodox Political Activists Navigating The Tensions Between Pragmatism And Ideology; Young Liberal Rabbis Looking To Queer The Torah Through Exegesis; Haredi Men Learning Fulltime At The Worlds Largest Yeshiva; Progressive Antizionists Attempting To Separate Judaism From Nationalism; And Rightwing Israeli Public Intellectuals Beginning To Imagine A Future Without American Jews.
