"Jewish Baby Boomers is an important book in the field of Jewish studies and the sociology of religion. It is outstanding in its presentation and analysis." — Jerome S. Legge, Jr., University of Georgia"It is important to anyone interested in American Jewish life, and it also has significant implications for the dynamics of religion and ethnicity generally in contemporary American culture. This book will be a useful addition to the literature." — Mervin F.
