Abstract

The Jew in America
Bernstein, Philip S. | July 17, 1948 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Future of the American Jew," by Mordecai M. Kaplan which is based on problems of the Jewish community in the U.S. Politically, Jewish state divides Jews into those who live or will settle in Palestine as citizens of Israel and those who, choosing to remain in other countries, will give them undivided political allegiance. Subtler problems persist, however, which are not resolved by the new state, like, the identity of Jews and their community outside Palestine. In the United States particularly the problem of achieving a meaningful pattern for Jewish life has taken its sharpest form. Many have sought such a synthesis, none with complete success, certainly none with more forthrightness than Kaplan.
