Jewish Book & Arts Fair: Dov Waxman

Today in the American Jewish Community, talking about Israel has become a source of tension. In Trouble in the Tribe, Dov Waxman, Professor at Northeastern University, argues that Israel is becoming a source of disunity for American Jewry, and a new era of American Jewish conflict over Israel is replacing the old era of solidarity. Waxman sets this conflict in the context of broader cultural, political, institutional and demographic changes happening in the American Jewish community. He offers a nuanced and balanced account of how this conflict over Israel has developed and what it means for the future of American Jewish politics.
