xvii, [3], 313, [3] pages. Illustrated front cover. Minor wear and soiling to cover. This is one of The Jewish People in America series, sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society. Series Editor's Foreword. Illustrations. Notes. A Note on Sources. Index. Hasia R. Diner is an American historian. Diner is the Paul S. and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History; Professor of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, History; Director of the Goldstein-Goren Center for American Jewish History at New York University and Interim Director of Glucksman Ireland House NYU. Diner received a B.A. in 1968 from the University of Wisconsin. She went on to earn an M.A. in 1970 from the University of Chicago; and a Ph.D. in 1975 from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Her Ph.D. dissertation "In the Almost Promised Land: Jewish Leaders and Blacks, 1915-1935" was directed by Professor Leo Schelbert. In 2002 she published Her Works Praise Her: A History of Jewish Women in America from Colonial Times to the Present. In 2009 she published We Remember with Reverence and Love: American Jews and the Myth of Silence after the Holocaust, 1945-1962. According to Adam Kirsch, the book "drive(s) a stake, once and for all, through the heart of a historical falsehood that has proved remarkably durable. This is the notion that, as Diner's subtitle has it, American Jews were initially 'silent' about the Holocaust� "that the greatest catastrophe in Jewish history was somehow swept under the rug of American Jewry's collective consciousness. Between 1820 and 1880, European Jews arrived in the United States in ever greater numbers. While later Jewish immigrants would criticize their "rush" to assimilation, the Jews of this period created the institutions that continue to shape Jewish life in America. In A Time for Gathering, Hasia Diner describes this "second wave" of Jewish migration.

Inhaltsangabe

Sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society in its centennial year, this book is part of a five-volume set which chronicles Jewish life in the United States from colonial times to the present. The respective authors explore the roots of Jewish immigration, the experience of settling in America, economic and social adjustment, religious developments and educational aspirations, political involvements, and the experience from generation to generation of what it means to be at once both Jewish and American. Between 1820 and 1880, European Jews arrived in the United States in ever greater numbers. In this second volume, the author describes the "second wave" of Jewish migration and challenges many long-held assumptions - particularly the belief that the immigrants' Judaism eroded in the middle class comfort of Victorian America. Through their benevolent associations, lodges, congregations and recreational activities, Diner shows that 19th-century Jewish immigrants established a culture that blended Jewish traditions with American ideals.
