Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Collections focusing primarily on the development of Jewish organizations, American Jewish history and non-profit management can directly benefit from this work.”– “Association of Jewish Libraries newsletter”
“Edited by one of the finest chroniclers of Jewish history, this volume seeks to provide a literary template regarding young Jewish leaders between the ages of 21 and 40. Hardly surprising, its greatest strengths are editor Wertheimer’s contributions: his preface, lengthy first chapter, and conclusion. . . . Recommended.”– “Choice”
“This book provides data and insights intended to guide the institutional changes needed to attract and enhance the commitment of today’s young Jews. Several important shifts in the general society, which are echoed in the Jewish community, pose serious challenges. . . . Numerous scholarly and programmatic efforts are being devoted to responding to these shifts. This book adds a great deal to that discourse.”– “Jewish Book World”
“On many levels, this is a wonderfully informative book. It offers great insight into shifting patters and attitudes towards pluralism, denominationalism, and many other topics critical to this generation of young, involved Jews. Those with the skills and training to plumb the depths the depths of this material will learn a great deal about what the book’s subtitle calls the reshaping of the American Jewish landscape.”–
Jewish Ideas DailyAs with Wertheimer s previous efforts, the research is well done, the writing and editing is excellent, and the results are significant. . . . The project because this is the culmination of a research effort and not just the editing of a book collection is well done from beginning to end.
