"What a triumph! It's a wonderful and provocative piece as important as any I have seen on the American Jewish experience."
- Abraham J. Peck, American Jewish Archives" a fascinating presentation of a subject I had known only marginally... a program that was charming and informative without falling into the clutches of academe."
