Part I focuses on the ideas and activities of Cyrus Adler (1863-1940), one of the most prominent leaders of the traditionalist Jewish community in the United States in his era. The issues in these essays include the origins of American Jewish history as a field of study, the Kehilla experiments of the early twentieth century, and the relationship between the Jewish Theological Seminary and Orthodox Judaism. Part II deals with the beginnings of Hasidic Judaism in North America prior to the Second World War. It also includes several studies investigating the shaping of the worldview of Orthodox Judaism in contemporary North America. Part III examines the issue of contemporary American Jewish attitudes toward evolution and intelligent design.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Weight: 663gAuthor: Ira RobinsonGenre: Society & CultureItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 155mmBook Series: Judaism and Jewish LifeTopic: Social Sciences, Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2008 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
