| Description: At a time when American Jews should feel more secure and cohesive
than ever, civil war is tearing apart their community. Congregations,
neighborhoods, even families are taking sides in battles about Jewish
identity and Jewish authenticity. The conflict pits fundamentalist
against secularist, denomination against denomination, even liberal
against conservative within each branch of Jewry. Jew vs. Jew tells
the story of how American Jewry has increasingly -- and perhaps
terminally -- broken apart in the last forty years.
