Böcker av Zev Eleff

With a fresh perspective, this book challenges the current historical paradigm in the study of Orthodox Judaism and other tradition-bound faith communities in the United States. Paying attention to "lived religion", the book moves beyond sermons and synagogues and examines the webs of experiences mediated by any number of American cultural forces.

Offers an extensive selection of primary texts documenting the Orthodox encounter with American Judaism that led to the emergence of the Modern Orthodox movement. Many texts in this volume are drawn from episodes of conflict that helped form Modern Orthodox Judaism.
