Exploring the history of communities of 100 to 1000 Jews, the book focuses on the years from the mid-nineteenth century to World War II. Weissbach examines the dynamics of 490 communities across the United States and reveals that smaller Jewish centers were not simply miniature versions of larger communities but were instead alternative kinds of communities in many respects. The book investigates topics ranging from migration patterns to occupational choices, from Jewish education and marriage strategies to congregational organization. The story of smaller Jewish communities attests to the richness and complexity of American Jewish history and also serves to remind us of the diversity of small-town society in times past. 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aCities and towns$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aCity and town life$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xHistory, Local 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions 615 0$aCities and towns$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory. 676 $a307.76/2/089924073 700 $aWeissbach$b Lee Shai$f1947-$01596499 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820306703321 996 $aJewish life in small-town America$93923626 997 $aUNINA
