Abstract:
The author explores significant issues of conflict which have challenged the organized American Jewish community since the beginning of the 1970s, and the ways in which the community has dealt with them. He discusses Rabbi Meir Kahane's Jewish Defense League, student counterculture objections, the Havurah movement, the Coalition for Alternatives in Jewish Education, the Jewish feminist movement, and challenges to Zionism.
