American Judaism by Jonathan D. Sarna
A History
A concise social and religious history tracing the Jewish experience in the United States from colonial settlement through modernity, showing how successive waves of immigrants, institutional development, and engagement with American civic and cultural life produced diverse responses to modernization—formation of Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox movements, the growth of communal organizations and education, debates over assimilation and identity, and the influence of events such as the Holocaust and the founding of Israel on communal priorities and self-understanding.
