Beschreibung
This book argues that the way to ensure that American Jewish life flourishes is to create vibrant local communities and that the ability to thrive will be won or lost in the trenches of each locality. For every generalization about the Jews of America, one can say, “maybe, but it depends where.” In the United States, Jewish life is up close and personal where local variations on national themes make a huge difference.
The author presents case studies using in-depth analysis of data from nine Jewish community studies to illuminate eleven critical American Jewish policy issues. The analysis is used to formulate a range of policy options for different types of communities.
This book is for anyone who cares about the future of American Jewry. It should be of particular interest to the lay leaders and professionals who play a role in Jewish nonprofits. It is also of great interest to researchers and students of Jewish studies and Jewish communal service.

“Illuminating the bath to vibrant American Jewish communities: Linking data to policy is unique in the social scientific literation in that it addresses a social policy audience … he combines his experience in both planning and social research to create a book that can serve as ‘a road map to use of data, analysis, and strategic thinking to inform Jewish communal policies at the local level’.” (Bruce A. Phillips, Contemporary Jewry, November 14, 2024)
