Chaim Potok: Confronting Modernity Through the Lens of Tradition

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank all those who worked with me for more than thirty-six years to make Studies in American Jewish Literature the great journal it became, and to acknowledge that that work helped prepare me for this volume on Chaim Potok. I wish to thank the contributors to this book, who stayed with me through the years. I also thank all those at the Pennsylvania State University Press who helped bring this publication to fruition, including director Patrick Alexander, editor-in-chief Kendra Boileau, and manuscript editor Julie Schoelles. I am grateful to Hannah Berliner Fischthal, whose typing ability and emotional support were invaluable. Finally, I’d like to express my thanks and admiration for the help Adena Potok has extended and to Chaim Potok for being Chaim Potok. acknowledgments ...
