Throughout his presidency; John F. Kennedy was passionate about the issue of immigration reform. He believed that America is a nation of people who value both tradition and the exploration of new frontiers; people who deserve the freedom to build better lives for themselves in their adopted homeland. This modern edition of his posthumously published; timeless work—with a new introduction by Senator Edward M. Kennedy and a foreword by Abraham H. Foxman; national director of the Anti-Defamation League—offers the late president's inspiring suggestions for immigration policy and presents a chronology of the main events in the history of immigration in America.As continued debates on immigration engulf the nation; this paean to the importance of immigrants to our nation's prominence and success is as timely as ever.

I've read a good half dozen books about the Jewish faithBy Real HappyWow; what a book!I've read a good half dozen books about the Jewish faith; but this one tops the list. I'm even temped to read it again. This memoir wonderfully outlined and discusses the strengths and challenges within the Jewish faith; and other religions.It is so encouraging to see these spiritual leaders coming together and supporting each others religion. One of the things I love about studying world religions; is that I've discovered how much each religion influences the other religion. There are so many similarities.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. In writing this book the author did the world a ...By Michael A.In writing this book the author did the world a favor. Through the authors travel and experiences we are gradually introduced to the notion that many of the deepest mystical and meditative ideas that attracted many Westerners (and Jews in particular) to Buddhism were also known and practiced by Jewish sages for thousands of years.Of course there are is an ultimate difference in the Jewish conception of G-d and in some of the intrinsic goals of meditation and life as practiced in Judaism. But remarkably; there are many striking overlaps and similarities. Literally most of what this author was searching for was in his own backyard and he shares this with the world in this book and his his sequel; In Search of Elijah.
