A Portrait of American Jewry, circa 1974

American Jewry
Jewish communities in the United States underwent drastic cultural & political shifts during the 1970s.

The changing culture of US Jews after the Vietnam War and the Yom Kippur War meant leaving old neighborhoods, a surge in Zionist sentiment and new developments in the Jewish community like the Ḥavura movement.

This podcast touches on the publication of The First Jewish Catalog: A Do-It-Yourself Kit and explores Commentary Magazine editor Norman Podhoretz’s dramatic shift from liberal to neo-conservative.
