Community and Polity: The Organizational Dynamics of American Jewry (Jewish Communal and Public Affairs)

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9780827605190


An update and revision of the original 1976 edition. This study presents a two-fold discussion: a basic survey of the structure and functions of the American Jewish community, and a suggestion as to how that community should be understood as a body politic, a collective unit that is not a state but is no less real from a political perspective.
