Summary

"This illustrated book combines the disciplines of history, architecture, and sociology in an engaging and edifying look at the experience of Jews in America over the past 350 years. Beginning with their insightful introduction, the Stolzmans share their passion for the subject by taking us on a journey through more than forty synagogues, ranging from the earliest extant American example, to the thriving suburban neighborhood centers of today. These synagogues, by architectural luminaries such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Percival Goodman, Philip Johnson, and Minoru Yamasaki, reflect both Jewish and American cultures and display the architects' and communities' responses to the often competing, but also complementary, forces of being Jewish and American, sacred and secular, modern and traditional."--BOOK JACKET.
