Book summary

Noted lawyer and professor Alan Dershowitz sounds a call to action for American Jews in this book. He details what he thinks must be done to ensure that Jewish cultural and religious identity remains a vibrant part of America's future.

Media reviews

"In a provocative call to action, Dershowitz argues that American Jewry is in danger of extinction by the middle of the next century, because of skyrocketing rates of intermarriage and assimilation, combined with low birth rates....His thoughtful, unsentimental analyses of the future prospects of American Jewry deserves close attention."

Book desription: Boston: Little Brown & Co. ,. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1997. First Edition. Hard Cover. 0316181331 . 395 pages, cloth, dj, very good. 1st edition. From the publisher: In this urgent book, Alan M. Dershowitz shows why American Jews are in danger of disappearing - and what must be done now to create a renewed sense of Jewish identity for the next century. Picking up where his 1991 bestseller Chutzpah left off, Dershowitz unblinkingly faces up to the quandaries that confront Jews today. Chutzpah - the boldness, assertiveness, and willingness to demand what is due that he celebrated in his earlier book - helped an older generation of Jews achieve the success they now enjoy in America. Yet paradoxically, that very same success now endangers the continued existence of American Jews. .
