In this first interpretive historical account of the American OrthodoxJewish experience, Jenna Weissman Joselit investigates the ways in which pious Jewsreconciled the requirements of religious tradition with the freedoms of interwarAmerica. Through its focus on representative American Jewish institutions such asthe synagogue and the rabbinate and on the sacred ritual life of Orthodox women, NewYork's Jewish Jews reveals how a self-consciously modern, American, and decidedlymiddle class Orthodoxy evolved before 1945.
