Jonathan D. Sarna Libri

    Jonathan D. Sarna è un eminente storico della vita ebraica americana, che approfondisce la ricca e spesso trascurata storia delle esperienze ebraiche negli Stati Uniti. La sua scrittura indaga le profonde correnti culturali, religiose e sociali che hanno plasmato l'identità ebraica americana. Sarna indaga su come le comunità ebraiche abbiano affrontato l'assimilazione e la tradizione, adattandosi al panorama americano pur preservando la loro eredità distintiva. Il suo lavoro offre ai lettori un'esplorazione avvincente dell'intricato rapporto tra l'eredità ebraica e l'esperienza americana.
