Minneapolis, identified in the
book as North City, U.S.A. In
conducOg their research the
authoi3 interviewed 200 members
of the Jewish community to learn
what they thought and did about
such questions as anti-Semitism,
politics, family We, synagogue
attendance, business opportuni-
ties, education, philanthropy,
club membership, pastimes, and
attitudes toward Israel.
In addition to gaining the con-
fidence of the Minneapolis Jew-
ish community at large they were
able to glean historical data from
Minneapolis archives and from
previous surveys conducted by
local governmental and social
agencies and periodicals.
Both born in New York City,
the authors received PhD degrees
in sociology from the University
of Minnesota in 1958. Formerly
an instructor at Pennsylvania
State University, Miss Kramer is
now instructor in sociology at
Brooklyn College. Leventman
taught for two years at Pennsyl-
vania State University and is now
assistant professor of sociology
at the University of Pennsylvania.
