With the pivotal 1903 Kishinev pogrom setting the stage, the author proceeds to examine how the Land of Promise across the Atlantic exerted different influences on Abraham Selmanovitz, Felix Frankfurter, the founders of the American Council for Judaism, and Arthur Hays Sulzberger. Professor Penkower then shows how the prospect of nationalism in the biblical Promised Land engendered other tensions and transformations, ranging from the plight of Hayim Nahman Bialik, to rivalry within the Orthodox Jewish camp, to on-going strife between the political Left and Right over the nature of the emerging Jewish state. 410 0$aJudaism and Jewish life. 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xIdentity 606 $aJews$zIsrael$xIdentity 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 676 $a973/.04924 700 $aPenkower$b Monty Noam$f1942-$0988608 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812604903321 996 $aTwentieth century Jews$93953390 997 $aUNINA
