This magisterial work (winner of the National Jewish Book Award and other honors) chronicles the 350-year history of the Jewish religion in America. Tracing American Judaism from its origins in the colonial era through the present day, Jonathan Sarna explores the ways in which Judaism adapted in this new context. How did American culture - predominantly Protestant and overwhelmingly capitalist - affect Jewish religion and culture? And how did American Jews shape their own communities and faith in the new world? Jonathan Sarna, a preeminent scholar of American Judaism, tells the story of individuals struggling to remain Jewish while also becoming American. He offers a dynamic and timely history of assimilation and revitalization, of faith lost and faith regained. The book is published by Yale University Press.

Informative, but impersonal
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The only criticism with audiobook is the narrator He had a monotone that was off putting and only overcome by the fascinating material of the book itself In addition he seemingly lacked even a rudimentary ability or familiarity with Hebrew and many of the phrases that appear throughout the book
