Book SynopsisTrade Review"Winner of the 2018 National Jewish Book Award in American Jewish Studies, Celebrate 350"
"An authority on American Judaism returns with a comprehensive report—descriptive, analytical, predictive—on today's Jewish religious practices." * Kirkus *
"This is an essential volume for anyone interested in modern religion in general, and the future of the Jewish people in particular." * Publishers Weekly *
"Thought-provoking."
---Allan Arkush, Jewish Review of Books"The overarching theme of Wertheimer’s wholly enlightening and deeply fascinating book is that American Judaism is a mosaic rather than a monolith."
---Jonathan Kirsch, Jewish Journal"An extraordinarily well-sourced view of American Judaism today with great reach."
---C. Lynn Carr, Reading Religion"Vital, necessary, and enjoyable to read,
The New American Judaism is a significant contribution to the literature about this ever-altering community."
---Roberta Rosenthal Kwall, Commentary"The book’s survey of the American-Jewish religious landscape is wide-ranging and deeply informed, moving easily between helpful generalization and telling anecdote."
---Tzvi Novick, Commonweal"The breadth of the work is admirable, exceedingly learned, and comprises the most complete overview of 21st century American Judaism now extant. It is certainly a fine place to introduce oneself to the major trends of American Judaism in this century."
---Michael Scott Alexander, Contemporary Jewry
