Spanning 350 years of Jewish experience in this country; A History of the Jews in America is an essential chronicle by the author of The Course of Modern Jewish History.With impressive scholarship and a riveting sense of detail; Howard M. Sachar tells the stories of Spanish marranos and Russian refugees; of aristocrats and threadbare social revolutionaries; of philanthropists and Hollywood moguls. At the same time; he elucidates the grand themes of the Jewish encounter with America; from the bigotry of a Christian majority to the tensions among Jews of different origins and beliefs; and from the struggle for acceptance to the ambivalence of assimilation.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. good to have with the bibleBy tumbleweed2nd Ezdras; was in the original manuscripts with 1st Ezdras; shame it was taken out especially when it tells us what happens at the moment of our death and what all of us see when we go into that dimension where our beloved relatives have already gone there. terrible shame it was taken out. Truly worth having this book. I will list the books that were in our bible that should have stayed there.Get the book and check it out for your own self. The two books mentioned earlier; The Wisdom of Solomon; The Story of Susanna; The Song of the Three Children (Remember when Nebuchadnezzar got the big head and these three refused to bow down to him; Only to Our heavenly Father would they bow down to;and Nebo; threw them into the fiery furnace; this is the prayer the three children prayed when in the furnace.) The story of Bel and the Dragon. Know you will enjoy 2nd Ezdra. It is good to be informed . Mankind only fears the unknown. Thank you for your attention.
