1st Edition

American Space, Jewish Time

By Stephen J. Whitfield Copyright 1988

    "This is a delightful book, a small gem replete with insightful, provocative pieces about both American culture and Jewish life. I think that Stephen Whitfield is one of the most original essayists on these two topics. Few other scholars combine the density of his knowledge with the verve of his prose". -- Hasia R. Diner, New York University

    This widely-praised book is built around seven core principles that provide a framework for the many voices calling for the reaffirmation of democratic values, citizenship, and service in the public interest. This edition includes a brand new chapter that provides action recommendations for putting these values into practice, as well as current examples of how these ideas have been put to use in the real world.
