Abstract:

Though it may appear too soon to assess the long-range effect on the American-Jewish community of the recent wave of Soviet Jewish immigrants, there has been a number of more subtle impacts resulting from the attempts of the Jewish community to respond to the challenge of resettling, absorbing and integrating the newcomers into American-Jewish life.
