Contemporary American Judaism -- $tAmerican Jewish Views of Evolution and Intelligent Design -- $tIndex 330 $aDivided into three sections, this work explains how the concepts and practices of traditional European Judaism were adapted to North American culture beginning in the late nineteenth century. Part I focuses on the ideas and activities of Cyrus Adler (1863-1940), one of the most prominent leaders of the traditionalist United States Jewish community in his era. The issues in these essays include the origins of American Jewish history as a field of study, the Kehilla experiments of the early twentieth century, and the relationship between the Jewish Theological Seminary and Orthodox Judaism. Part II deals with the beginnings of Hasidic Judaism in North America prior to the Second World War. It also includes several studies investigating the shaping of the worldview of Orthodox Judaism in contemporary North America. Part III examines the issue of contemporary American Jewish attitudes toward evolution and intelligent design. 410 0$aJudaism and Jewish life. 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xPolitics and government$y19th century 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xPolitics and government$y20th century 606 $aJudaism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJudaism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJewish religious education$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJewish religious education$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government 615 0$aJews$xPolitics and government 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJewish religious education$xHistory 615 0$aJewish religious education$xHistory 676 $a296.0973 700 $aRobinson$b Ira$f1951-$0802020 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457694003321 996 $aTranslating a tradition$92456616 997 $aUNINA
