35: American Judaism with Jonathan Sarna

Jonathan Sarna discusses "American Judaism: A History," which was recently published in a second, revised edition. Listen in for a wide-ranging conversation about American Jewish history at large, about Jonathan's work at large and the book American Judaism in particular. As we discuss in the episode, American Judaism is one of a series of books which have been published in recent years that has tried to synthesize American Jewish history, so we will look closely at how the landscape of American Jewish historical studies has developed, how we tell the history of America's Jews, and why it matters.
