As Jews become more incor- porated into the American culture, the question "Who is a Jew?" has become even more controveislc! rind important. Having found religious toler- ance in America and the realization of Israel, Jews are now strug- gling to prevent internal problems from tearing apart their com- munity. A professor at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Freedman has been honored as the nation's out- standing journalism educator. Being Jewish: With a growing num- ber of Jews returning to their religious roots, this book thoughtfully examines what it means to be Jewish in today's society. Transcending the boundaries of the Orthodox, Conservative and Reform movements, Goldman explores the meaning and origins of the ritual moments at the heart of Judaism. He is a former reporter for the New York Times and currently teaches at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism.
