Book Synopsis
Taking New York City as a case study not because it is unique but because it is representative of urban Jewish communities worldwide, and because of the massive material available for research, Lederhendler (American Jewish history and institutions, Hebrew University, Jerusalem) describes the evolution of such communities in the two decades after World War II.
