Drawing on data pointing to health as an economic commodity, leading to economic strength and social development, the author suggests that the high value accorded to health played a role in the relative economic prosperity of American Jews. The book explores the implications of good health as a source of human capital worthy of investment and its significance for recent immigrants. 410 0$aJewish identities in post modern society. 606 $aJews$xHealth and hygiene$xHistory 606 $aJews, East European$xHealth and hygiene$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aJews, East European$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aJews, East European$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aImmigrants$xHealth and hygiene$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJews$xHealth and hygiene$xHistory. 615 0$aJews, East European$xHealth and hygiene$xHistory. 615 0$aJews, East European$xSocial conditions 615 0$aJews, East European$xSocial conditions 615 0$aImmigrants$xHealth and hygiene$xHistory. 676 $a610.89/924073 686 $aSOC007000$aSOC050000$aSOC057000$2bisacsh 700 $aLindenthal$b Jacob Jay$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01847748 701 $aSinger$b Moishe Berl$01847749 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911026079803321 996 $aAbi Gezunt$94433746 997 $aUNINA
