Kallen. These young Jews faced particular challenges as they sought to integrate themselves into the American academy and literary world of the early 20th century. At Harvard University, they founded an influential student organization known as the Menorah Association in 1906 and later the Menorah Journal, whichModern Jewish experience (Bloomington, Ind.)Cultural pluralismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryJewsUnited StatesIntellectual life20th centuryJewsCultural assimilationUnited StatesJewsUnited StatesIdentityJewish college studentsUnited StatesSocieties, etcJewish college studentsMassachusettsCambridgeSocieties, etcElectronic books.
