Through in-depth interviews with Jews across the country, authors Steven M. Cohen and Arnold M. Eisen probe issues of identification and continuity, examining what matters most to American Jews and why. The rich and moving personal narratives in The Jew Within raise important questions about the meaning and future of Judaism in America.
Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, Associate Rabbi of Chicago's Anshe Emet Synagogue, leads the discussion.
