Table of ContentsReviewsWhat is so remarkable is that many of the problems unsolved then still remain unsolved today. Israel became much stronger and much more central to American Jewish life after the Six-Day War. The giants mentioned in the book like Ben-Gurion, Jacob Blaustein, and Abba Hillel Silver have disappeared and we feel more than ever their absence. Mr. Lesser should be complimented on having written this book, which is a reminder of the struggles of the 1950s.--Jacques Torczyner American Jewish Archives Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
