| Abstract | Analyzes "both the centrifugal and centripetal forces that influenced Jewish community building in the city of Chicago" during the period of intense immigration after the 1840s. The author contends that "in the American context the forces of assimilation often led to the transformation of Jewish community rather than its disintegration." |
