For every generalization about the Jews of America, one can say, ?maybe, but it depends where.? In the United States, Jewish life is up close and personal where local variations on national themes make a huge difference. The author presents case studies using in-depth analysis of data from nine Jewish community studies to illuminate eleven critical American Jewish policy issues. The analysis is used to formulate a range of policy options for different types of communities. This book is for anyone who cares about the future of American Jewry. It should be of particular interest to the lay leaders and professionals who play a role in Jewish nonprofits. It is also of great interest to researchers and students of Jewish studies and Jewish communal service. 410 0$aStudies of Jews in Society,$x2524-4310 ;$v4 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aJudaism 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aJudaism 606 $aSociology of Religion 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aJudaism. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 14$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aJudaism. 615 24$aSociology of Religion. 676 $a909.04924 676 $a305.8924073 700 $aUkeles$b Jacob B.$01254101 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910588595103321 996 $aIlluminating the Path to Vibrant American Jewish Communities$92907990 997 $aUNINA
