Review
Young readers will experience the story of American Jewry, from the early settlement in 1654 to the challenging events of today, through America: The Jewish Experience, an exciting full-color volume which is the result of painstaking reseach combining key historical information, literature, original documents, maps, photographs, and illustrations to weave a rich tapestry. Major themes include Jewish community (K'lal Yisrael), religious liberty, the cointributions of Ashkenazic and Sephardic communities, immigration, civil rights, and the changing face of Judaism in America. An exceptional history for young readers ages 9 through 12. -- Midwest Book Review

Great,
By A Customer
This review is from: America: The Jewish Experience (Paperback)
I've used this book to teach American Jewish History to sixth graders and I think it's one of the best texts aimed at that age group around. Even the parents commented about what a great book it is!
