Beskrivning
The author, confronting head-on the disparate fragments of Jewish life in America, has illuminated a new kind of meaningful life-style that will be of utmost importance to every Jew in America today. He portrays the entire spectrum of Jewish archetypes in anecdotal, novelistic terms: the Orthodox, the Conservative, the Reform, the agnostic Zionist, the atheistic Yiddishist, the prodigal son, and finally, young Daniel S., whose parents rejected their Jewish roots, but who himself hungers for a meaningful identity. Originally published in 1969 by the Macmillan Company, this edition contains a new introduction by Jacob Neusner.
