"Jew vs. Jew tells the story of how American Jewry has increasingly - and perhaps terminally - broken apart in the last forty years.".
"Jew vs. Jew introduces readers to memorable places and characters. Freedman describes one of the final summers at a Labor Zionist camp in the Catskills whose brand of secular Jewishness is becoming obsolete because Zionism succeeded in creating Israel. He tells the story of Orthodox and Reform Jews in a Cleveland suburb who are fighting about the construction of several synagogues - and, on a deeper level, about whether unity or pluralism ought to be the goal of Jewish life."--BOOK JACKET.
