Description
"This study of Conservative Jews examines the largest movement of synagogue-affiliated Jews in the United States, a group equal in size to the combined membership of Reform and Orthodox congregations and a population that adheres to a centrist version of Judaism.". "Written by a team of scholars employing the tools of demography, ethnography, sociology, history, and comparative religion, Jews in the Center offers the most comprehensive study of any movement within American Judaism - and indeed, represents one of the most detailed analyses of any denomination in American religious life.". "Jews in the Center seeks to understand how synagogues function as congregations and to what extent they allow individual expression. By focusing on a mainstream population, this book sheds light on religiously active people who generally receive scant attention: those in the center, who neither retreat from society nor blur the boundaries between their religion and modern American culture."--BOOK JACKET.
