"To what extent was the American idea founded on faith and on the Hebrew Bible? Why did Abraham Lincoln feel such a close connection to the Jews? Can religious communities in America remain true to their traditions while living in a secular culture? How did the strong alliance between Americanism and Zionism develop? What are the factors that brought about a migration of Jews from urban centers to the suburbs? What makes Jewish literature 'Jewish'? What America Owes the Jews, What Jews Owe America is a collection of essays that explore the cultural, social, economic, and linguistic factors that have shaped the Jewish-American experience. Featuring the works of seven thought-leaders and scholars, this volume comprises an essential text for lovers and observers of American and Jewish life"--back cover.
