520    The American Jewish community is more influential than 
       ever before. Who are these Jews? Do they speak with one 
       voice? How have they become so rich and powerful? What do 
       their non-Jewish neighbors think about them? American 
       rabbi Dan Cohn-Sherbok and his wife, Lavinia, spent four 
       months in a typical midwestern city finding the answers to
       these questions. Through more than one hundred engaging 
       interviews, individuals from a broad spectrum of Jewish 
       life -- an Orthodox rabbi, a self-made millionaire, a 
       doting grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, an eighteen-
       year-old debutante, and many more -- speak for themselves 
       about their lives as American Jews. As gripping as the 
       best fiction, their stories provide a unique and 
       strikingly accurate snapshot of American Jewry in the 
       1990s. - Back cover.
