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 001448838 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 24, 2022). 001448838 650_0 $$aJews$$zUnited States$$xSocial life and customs. 001448838 650_0 $$aJews$$zUnited States$$xSocial life and customs$$vCase studies. 001448838 650_0 $$aJews$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions. 001448838 650_0 $$aJews$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$vCase studies. 001448838 650_0 $$aCommunities$$xReligious aspects$$xJudaism. 001448838 650_0 $$aCommunities$$xReligious aspects$$xJudaism$$vCase studies. 001448838 655_7 $$aCase studies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01423765 001448838 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001448838 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aUkeles, Jacob B.$$tIlluminating the Path to Vibrant American Jewish Communities.$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG, ©2022$$z9783031076411 001448838 830_0 $$aStudies of Jews in society ;$$vv. 4. 001448838 852__ $$bebk 001448838 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-07642-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001448838 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1448838$$pGLOBAL_SET 001448838 980__ $$aBIB 001448838 980__ $$aEBOOK 001448838 982__ $$aEbook 001448838 983__ $$aOnline 001448838 994__ $$a92$$bISE
