Jews have achieved unprecedented integration, influence,\nand esteem in virtually every facet of American life. But this extraordinarily\ndiverse community now also faces four critical and often divisive challenges:\nrampant intermarriage, weak religious observance, diminished cohesion in the\nface of waning anti-Semitism, and deeply conflicting views about Israel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCan the American Jewish community\ncollectively sustain and pass on to the next generation a sufficient sense of\nJewish identity in light of these challenges? Who should count as Jewish in\nAmerica?

Mnookin argues that the answers of the past no longer serve\nAmerican Jews today. The book boldly promotes a radically inclusive\nAmerican-Jewish community—one where being Jewish can depend on personal choice\nand public self-identification, not simply birth or formal religious\nconversion. Instead of preventing intermarriage or ostracizing those critical\nof Israel, he envisions a community that embraces diversity and debate, and in\nso doing, preserves and strengthens the Jewish identity into the next\ngeneration and beyond. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Robert H.
