But this image is far from true. Poor Jews: An American Awakening shatters, once and for all, the stereotype of Jewish affluence.Citing national data and descriptions of the life-styles of the Jewish poor, the authors reveal unique social characteristics of the Jewish poorincluding the surprising statistic that over two-thirds of the members of this group are past the age of sixty, thus experiencing the compounded disadvantage of being poor, elderly, and deserted by the young, mobile Jewish community.Reasons for the "invisibility" of Jewish poverty are examined, as well as how the Jewish community has responded to poverty within its own ethnic group and Jewish attitudes toward the welfare state and charity. The lack of Jewish participation in antipoverty programs is cited, along with measures which will bring them fully into this and other federal and state programs."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aJews$zUnited States$yEconomic conditions 606 $aPoor$zUnited States 615 0$aJews 615 0$aPoor 676 $a362.8/4 700 $aLevine$b Naomi$01630813 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825213503321 996 $aPoor Jews$93969319 997 $aUNINA
