Karla Goldman's study of changing patterns of female religiosity is a story of acculturation, of adjustments made to fit Jewish worship into American society. Goldman focuses on the nineteenth century. This was an era in which immigrant communities strove for middle-class respectability for themselves and their religion, even while fearing a loss of traditions and identity. For acculturating Jews some practices, like the ritual bath, quickly disappeared. Women's traditional segregation from the service in screened women's galleries was gradually replaced by family pews and mixed choirs. By the end of the century, with the rising tide of Jewish immigration from Russia and Eastern Europe, the spread of women's social and religious activism within a network of organizations brought collective strength to the nation's established Jewish community. Throughout these changing times, though, Goldman notes persistent ambiguous feelings about the appropriate place of women in Judaism, even among reformers. This account of the evolving religious identities of American Jewish women expands our understanding of women's religious roles and of the Americanization of Judaism in the nineteenth century; it makes an essential contribution to the history of religion in America. 606 $aWomen in Judaism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJudaism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJewish women$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen in Judaism$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJewish women$xHistory 676 $a296.0820973 700 $aGoldman$b Karla$f1960-$01053873 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454835503321 996 $aBeyond the synagogue gallery$92486013 997 $aUNINA
