Twentieth Century Jews

Exploring Jewish identity over the past century, this collection of essays delves into the impact of the 1903 Kishinev pogrom and the contrasting influences of the United States and Eretz Israel. It highlights key figures like Abraham Selmanovitz and Felix Frankfurter, while addressing the tensions arising from nationalism in the biblical Promised Land. The work examines the struggles of notable individuals, rivalries within Orthodox Judaism, and the ongoing political conflicts between the Left and Right regarding the future of the Jewish state.
