So begins Gerald S. Stro- ber's "American Jews: Corn- muniti in Crisis," which has been published by. Double- day. The book holds Ameri- can Jewish society and its communal organizations up to a magnifying glass, and ex- amines them bit by bit. Strober, who will be speak- ing 10 a.m. Nov. 11 at the Jewish Center Book Fair on anti-Sei'nitism in America, has been a member of the interreligious affairs depart- ment of the American Jewish Committee for the past five years. Major chapters in his book deal in-depth with such top- ics as: Israel and American Jews; Soviet Jewry; Ameri- can Jews and Christian com- munity; blacks, Jews and the urban crisis; the Jewish Defense League; Jews and American elections and Jew- ish survival in America. Each subject is analyzed in detail, and Strober does not hold back from what he hopes is constructive criti- cism of Jewish communal agencies, the synagogues, Jewish adults and youth. Many points are strictly personal opinion, but Strober marshals hundreds of facts in a well written, but sometimes poorly edited volume before presenting his outlook. Although he is generally critical, and as his title states he believes the Jewish community is in crisis, Stro- ber works hard to make his criticism constructive. Strober states at the end of his book: "The capacity of the American Jewish corn- munity to effectively respond to the problems already lying on the near horizon will soon be severely tested. "In the light of the Jewish establishment's reactions to manifestations of anti-Semi- tism in the late 1960s and early 1970s, I am not partic- ularly sanguine about the possibilities of 136th a real- istic assessment of the prob- lem and the developinent of an effective program' to deal with the threat to Jewish sec- urity in America. Strober continues, "In such a time institutional rivalries, community jealousies, compe- petitions over preogatives and turfs, along with barriers to effective a c t i o n resulting from class and religious dis- tinctions must give way to a new, radical and universal- ly operative committment to Jewish continuity and sur- vival." The veracity of Strober's work is enhanced by his close personal contact with many of the people and organiza- tions he describes. Many per- sonal anecdotes are included in the volume. He converted from Judaism to Christianity at age 18, and is a Presbyterian minister. He is currently considering re-conversion. "American Jews: Com- munity in Crisis" will not stand as a masterpiece for all time because it is writ- ten for one time — now. Many parts of the book will be quickly outdated by un- folding events. But Strober's analysis of the American Jewish com- munity and the problems that are facing it make his volume a powerful documen- tation of what is right and wrong with Jewish society in the U.S. today. —A.H.
