Jewish Family Life in New York City

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

How can Jewish relatives who range in residence and occupation from a Scarsdale doctor to a Brooklyn butcher, and who diverge in religiosity from an Orthodox cantor to a ham-eating atheist, maintain close family ties? This book describes how these intimate, spirited, and often contentious family clubs are organized and how they function.
