There is something deeply problematic about the ways that Jews, particularly in America, talk about “Jewish identity” as a desired outcome of Jewish education. For many, the idea that the purpose of Jewish education is to strengthen Jewish identity is so obvious that it hardly seems worth disputing—and the only important question is which kinds of Jewish education do that work more effectively or more efficiently. But what does it mean to “strengthen Jewish identity”? Why do Jewish educators, policy-makers and philanthropists talk that way? What do they assume, about Jewish education or about Jewish identity, when they use formulations like “strengthen Jewish identity”? And what are the costs of doing so? This volume, the first collection to examine critically the relationship between Jewish education and Jewish identity, makes two important interventions. First, it offers a critical assessment of the relationship between education and identity, arguing that the reification of identity has hampered much educational creativity in the pursuit of this goal, and that the nearly ubiquitous employment of the term obscures significant questions about what Jewish education is and ought to be. Second, this volume offers thoughtful responses that are not merely synonymous replacements for “identity,” suggesting new possibilities for how to think about the purposes and desired outcomes of Jewish education, potentially contributing to any number of new conversations about the relationship between Jewish education and Jewish life.

Employing insights from a broadly conceived social psychology, Simon N. Herman examines contemporary Jewish life in its totality as a constellation of interdependent factors. He sets forth criteria for the Jewish identity, analyzes the religious and national elements that interweave in it, the constancies and variations in that identity across the years and across countries, the impact on it of the Holocaust and the establishment of the state of Israel. An illuminating chapter is devoted to the question "Who is a Jew?" In his foreword to the fkst edition of this volume, Herbert Kelman of Harvard University described it as "a pioneering contribution to the study of ethnic/national identity." The second edition incorporates additional data derived from two recent studies conducted by the author. It includes a discussion of the direction of changes in the Jewish identity in the decade since publication of the first edition. Special attention is given to the Jewish reactions to the worldwide resurgence of anti-Semitism and to the turbulent events in and around Israel. A careful analysis is undertaken of the factors in the present situation that strengthen and weaken the Jewish identity.

Large and continuing immigration will create problems for the American social and economic systems. The influx will require significant policy initiatives in both the public and private sectors, but the country is more than capable of solving these problems and, in the process, will receive many benefits. The following problems are discussed: (1) immigrants are entering an already-strained economy; (2) many older Americans fear that immigrants' allegiance to their native language constitutes a threat to national unity; and (3) some taxpayers fear that immigrants consume costly social services in excess of their contributions in taxes. However, a tradition of openness to newcomers and acceptance of a unifying civic authority, and recent political and societal changes, such as increased acceptance of cultural diversity, contribute to the immigrants' speedy and positive acculturation. Immigrants are also assisted by voluntary agencies and government programs, new jobs and opportunities, and the efforts of the educational system to understand and promote pluralism and cultural diversity in both formal education and extracurricular activities. The comments of five members of the American Jewish Committee's Task Force on the Acculturation of Immigrants to American Life and a list of the Task Force's members are appended. (FMW)
