"Begins in 1654 with the arrival of 23 Jews in New Amsterdam and follows the changes in Jewish-American life up to the present day.... Clear and lively. A host of archival photos and reproductions enhance the presentation. The author does a good job of explaining the basic tenets of Judaism... The glossary, index, chronology, and suggestions for further reading are useful for reports, but the tone of the narrative is conducive to pleasure reading as well."--School Library Journal "Concise overview... informative history... This panoramic view of Jewish American history will interest and inform teen readers and researchers."--Booklist "An excellent Afikoman gift for the teen or young adult at the seder...
