add to cart   close window

The article presents information about three books related to liberal Jews. One of the books under discussion is titled "A New Approach to the Problems of Judaism," written by Mordecai Kaplan. The second book under discussion is titled "Survival or Extinction: Social Aspects of the Jewish Question," written by Elisha M. Friedman. The third book under discussion is titled "Liberalizing Liberal Judaism," written by James Waterman Wise. At last the Jew has paid himself the high compliment of criticism. By turning on his own problems the analytical faculties which he exerts on all other questions he has testified to a faith in his power of self-improvement and to a pride in the task of self-determination.
