    On May 22, 1974, more than two hundred students and faculty members of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) in Cincinnati gathered at the Scheuer Chapel on campus to commemorate the victims of an attack by Palestinian terrorists on the northern Israeli town of Ma&amp;#x2019;alot. The attack, which took place a week earlier, involved a nerve-wracking hostage crisis in a school building and caused the deaths of twenty-one Israeli high school students. During the &amp;#x201C;emotionally charged&amp;#x201D; gathering at the chapel, the American Israelite reported, &amp;#x201C;some spoke of the repeated oppressions against Jews throughout history. Others recited poems written by children of concentration camps while others sang Israeli

  <title>American Zionism in the Eyes of its 1950s Jewish Critics: Uri Avnery and the American Council for Judaism</title>

  <description>
    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    How should scholars characterize the relationship between American Jews and Israel in the 1950s? Relative to the 1940s and 1960s, the 1950s has generally received less attention on this question. When reflecting on the strengthening of American Jews&amp;#x2019; attachment to Israel, commentators often point to the electrifying effects of 1967&amp;#x2019;s Six-Day War, an event punctuated by the drama of fear followed by triumph. Historians have also long emphasized the way in which the tumult of the 1940s&amp;#x2014;the Holocaust, the ensuing displaced persons dilemma in Europe, and ultimately Israel&amp;#x2019;s very creation&amp;#x2014;led many American Jews outside of formal Zionist politics to come around to embracing the idea of Jewish statehood.Often overlooked

    In May 2024, the American Jewish Historical Society awarded the Lee Max Friedman Medal to Eli Lederhendler in recognition of his longstanding record of excellence in service to the field of American Jewish history. The award, according to tradition, was conferred at a plenary session of the society&amp;#x2019;s Biennial Scholars Conference, where Professor Lederhendler offered reflections on his career and on the state of American Jewish historical scholarship. His remarks were published in volume 108, no.2 of this journal (https://muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/959960).Professor Lederhendler framed his remarks with several questions about the state of our field in the wake of Hamas&amp;#x2019;s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, Israel&amp;#x2019;s

    Dear Eli,In academic journals, we scholars do not refer to one another by first name. The convention holds that we are our work: last name, title, place of publication, and so on. But in the summer of 2024, when you flew from Israel to accept the Lee Max Friedman Award for your scholarship and service to the field of American Jewish history, I watched you bravely buck many conventions. You had landed in New York City on a mission. Whatever your scholarly errand, it appeared inseparable from your personal anguish and fury. As I stood among my colleagues listening to your words, I felt chastised and challenged, called to task and called to arms.We carry our scholarship with us, but I think this conversation is also

    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    Reflecting on October 7th and its aftermath, Eli Lederhendler demands that scholars of American Jewish history question core assumptions underpinning the field. He rightly asks where practitioners in the field have &amp;#x201C;gone wrong&amp;#x201D; and further challenges the accommodationist narrative of American Jewish exceptionalism.1 But, in his effort to counter what he sees as the now-reigning &amp;#x201C;contorted, reified image of &amp;#x2018;the Jews&amp;#x2019;&amp;#x201D; as one of &amp;#x201C;inherent whiteness, privilege, and overwhelming power,&amp;#x201D; Lederhendler offers a counterimage of American Jews as under threat from &amp;#x201C;hostile outsiders.&amp;#x201D;2 Perhaps unwittingly, his framing replicates the same &amp;#x201C;binary thinking&amp;#x201D; that he decries.I would like to focus on one aspect of his critique

    Eli Lederhendler&amp;#x2019;s remarks upon receiving the Lee Max Friedman Award convey his concerns about the field of American Jewish history&amp;#x2014;its purpose, trajectory, and quality. His observations are an intellectual call to arms issued after the October 7, 2023 attacks, as wars between Israel and both Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon drag on. Lederhendler challenges scholars of American Jewry to rethink prevailing narratives and dogmas about Jewish self-defense, what he defines as &amp;#x201C;the need to be vigilant against Jew-hatred,&amp;#x201D; which some might call &amp;#x201C;antisemitism.&amp;#x201D;Lederhendler begins with the admission that, as an undergraduate, he dismissed the historian Raul Hilberg&amp;#x2019;s lament that Jews often neglected to respond to

    I am particularly struck by Professor Lederhandler&amp;#x2019;s characterization of higher education as a &amp;#x201C;cloistered world of post-liberal banana republics,&amp;#x201D; where critical thought has &amp;#x201C;morphed into the hard reification of sanctimonious pieties.&amp;#x201D; He is hardly the first or only critic who has couched their critique of the academy as suffering under the weight of so-called wokeism. Yet the growing repression faculty and students face in American universities stems from a constellation of right-wing forces who have launched vociferous campaigns for the politicization and censorship of the academy. Professor Lederhendler&amp;#x2019;s caricature of academia reflects at best an incomplete understanding of what is unfolding on American

    In his brief remarks, Eli Lederhendler has offered something more than the trenchant and supremely intelligent analysis that we, his friends and colleagues, have enjoyed for over thirty years. His tone is one of urgency and trepidation. And with good reason. The liberal-democratic order of the postwar western world is collapsing, and antisemitism, expressed in word and deed, is rising. In the United States, about one-fourth of the population holds antisemitic views, the highest figure since the mid 1960s. The Israeli government&amp;#x2019;s unrestrained response to the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led massacre has pushed the country further toward becoming a pariah state. Throughout the world, hatred of Israel has spilled over into

    It is truly an honor to respond to Eli Lederhendler&amp;#x2019;s essay &amp;#x201C;Reflections on American Jewish History at This Juncture&amp;#x201D; and formally congratulate him on receiving the Lee Max Friedman Award. I have never had the privilege to meet Professor Lederhendler, but I have read and benefited from his work throughout my academic career. I read his essay with great interest and admire his willingness as a historian to weigh in on matters of great importance in this present moment. I certainly agree with him that we stand at an important juncture&amp;#x2014;one might even say an inflection point&amp;#x2014;even before but certainly since the horrific events of October 7th and the horrific destruction of Gaza.I very much appreciated the frame of

    In his remarks upon receiving the American Jewish Historical Society&amp;#x2019;s distinguished service award, Eli Lederhendler speculated about how future historians will &amp;#x201C;deal with what changed for American Jews in 2023&amp;#x201D; and provocatively urged an exploration of &amp;#x201C;(pre-)conceptions we allowed ourselves to adopt up until October 6th and that now call for critical revision.&amp;#x201D; He implicitly views October 7th and its aftermath as an inflection point in American Jewish history, a turn of events that warrants probing research. I concur with his assessment. Here I outline a series of avenues for fresh research. My suggestions are informed by over ninety interviews that I have conducted with Jewish communal professionals about their

    I thank the roundtable participants for the time and thought they invested, for taking my remarks seriously, and for weighing in with their own perspectives. Their reactions are invaluable to me, not least because they afford me the opportunity to engage with their ideas and to clarify several things.As scholars, we are devoted to revising our knowledge of the past in light of new sources of information and new considerations that present themselves. American Jewish historiography, I believe, will be rewritten in light of current events, which are the result of developments that have occurred across the past two decades, and one question that will instruct that agenda will be this: Were the years 2023&amp;#x2013;2025 a

    Coincidentally, the error that Eckstein discovered in my article deals with Leeser&amp;#x2019;s attempt to correct an error in an article on race and the Jews that appeared in 1850. Dr. Josiah Nott, a well-known surgeon, phrenologist, and enslaver from South Carolina, wrote an article that year titled &amp;#x201C;The Physical History of the Jewish Race&amp;#x201D; in the Southern Quarterly Review; it was also published as a standalone pamphlet.1 To research this article, Nott wrote to Leeser, who offered an extensive reply, which Nott quoted at length. Nott then revised this article as a chapter for his book Types of Mankind, published in Philadelphia four years later.2In my article, I cite Nott&amp;#x2019;s 1854 book, including some of the writing

    Among the most striking&amp;#x2014;and, for many, disorienting&amp;#x2014;scenes during the year following the Hamas attack on Israel were those of Jewish young people demonstrating in solidarity with Palestinians. Wearing T-shirts emblazoned with &amp;#x201C;Jews Say Ceasefire Now&amp;#x201D; and &amp;#x201C;Not in Our Name,&amp;#x201D; Jewish protesters have become a familiar visual signifier of pro-Palestinian protest. Indeed, the proverbial visitor from outer space could be forgiven for drawing the conclusion that American Jews were strong and united advocates of the Palestinian cause.The books under review invite us to see contemporary Jewish pro-Palestinian activists as participants in a tradition of dissent that stretches back to the decades before the founding of the

    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    In Betty Friedan: Magnificent Disrupter, Rachel Shteir offers a new biography of the writer and activist, who is still counted as one of the central figures of American feminism despite the controversies that her work engendered. Friedan&amp;#x2019;s early life, Jewish identity, and most famous work, The Feminine Mystique, have been analyzed and explored by numerous scholars, but her life, writing and activism after 1963 have been addressed less frequently by historians. Shteir&amp;#x2019;s book, written as part of Yale University Press&amp;#x2019;s Jewish Lives series, considers the entirety of Friedan&amp;#x2019;s life and is thus a useful contribution to our understanding of Friedan.Shteir has done significant research, mining archives&amp;#x2014;including newly

    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    How were American Jews and Judaism constituted in the eyes of American Jews and non-Jews in the mid-20th century? As a religious or ethnic group, or even a race? And how did such (self-)perceptions, diverse as they were, relate to the place of Jews in a society whose attitudes changed from deep, pervasive antisemitism to tolerance and even acceptance, first of Judaism as a respectable religion and then to Jewishness as an ethno-cultural group identity? These questions are at the heart of Rachel Gordan&amp;#x2019;s Postwar Stories. Based on a Harvard dissertation, the study analyzes two genres of books published from the 1940s to the 1960s: anti-antisemitism literature, such as Laura Z. Hobson&amp;#x2019;s Gentleman&amp;#x2019;s Agreement, and

  <description>
    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    Shelby Shapiro&amp;#x2019;s Words to the Wives offers an interdisciplinary examination of the American Yiddish press, combining media studies, immigrant culture, and gender theories. The book provides a nuanced exploration of the critical role women&amp;#x2019;s columns and journals in Yiddish played between 1913 and 1925 for Yiddish-speaking readers, primarily women, but not exclusively. By delving into these publications, Shapiro illuminates how the Yiddish press was instrumental in shaping, reflecting, and negotiating the intricate identities of immigrant Jewish women during a period of profound social and cultural transformation in the United States.The study centers on two magazines, Di Froyen-Velt (The Jewish Ladies Home Journal)

  <title>A Revolution in Type: Gender and the Making of the American Yiddish Press by Ayelet Brinn (review)</title>

  <description>
    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    A Revolution in Type: Gender and the Making of the American Yiddish Press is a rare study of the Yiddish press that has as its focus a theme, rather than a place or chronological period. Brinn&amp;#x2019;s thematic approach offers readers new ways to think about the role of the press and the history of Jews in the United States. Her path-breaking work on the Yiddish press in the United States is a major achievement.The emphasis on gender allows us to consider the press more broadly, as a linguistic phenomenon with the capability of telling us about much more than the oft-studied Americanization of Jewish immigrants. This richly detailed and amply illustrated study draws our attention not so much to the role of women in the

  <title>Beyond Whiteness: Revisiting Jews in Ethnic America ed. by Jonathan Karp (review)</title>

  <description>
    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    It is no exaggeration to say that the wave of whiteness scholarship in the late 1990s and early 2000s revolutionized the field of American Jewish history. One can hardly analyze the American Jewish experience without contending with this seemingly impenetrable paradigm. Students of the field are well-accustomed to its presupposition: that American Jewish identity is inextricable from race and that Jews&amp;#x2019; full acceptance into American society hinged on becoming white. According to the prevailing narrative, Jewish immigrants initially occupied a liminal racial position throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries but achieved whiteness sometime in the mid-twentieth. At the onset of the whiteness wave

  <title>Most Fortunate Unfortunates: The Jewish Orphans’ Home of New Orleans by Marlene Trestman (review)</title>

  <description>
    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    Marlene Trestman&amp;#x2019;s Most Fortunate Unfortunates traces the history of the first purpose-built Jewish orphanage in the country. The Jewish Orphans&amp;#x2019; Home of New Orleans (the Home) opened in New Orleans in 1856 following three brutal years of yellow fever that took a dark toll on the city&amp;#x2019;s families, especially newcomers whose immune systems had little experience with the mosquito-borne virus. Trestman acknowledges other Jewish orphanages that had previously opened in rented spaces, including those in South Carolina and Philadelphia, and she places the Home in the context of national trends in caring for dependent children, especially the eventual shift away from congregate care.Trestman&amp;#x2019;s own interest in the Home is a

  <description>
    &#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;
    Walkers in the City studies a pivotal era in the history of photography, primarily through the activities and perspectives of the New York Photo League. The League emerges as a dynamic hub where aesthetics and social consciousness intertwined, shaping a distinct vision of New York City in the mid-twentieth century. The book showcases the League&amp;#x2019;s foundational principles such as form, shape, and print quality, coupled with a deep commitment to documenting the lives of ordinary New Yorkers, particularly the working class.Dash Moore details the League&amp;#x2019;s ambition to present an authentic view of New York, particularly in contrast to the tourist-oriented &amp;#x201C;guidebook New York&amp;#x201D; to capture the real New York&amp;#x2014;people, streets
