Jewish American Thriving: A Journey Through Text

By Shalom Hartman Institute

Published for America's 250th anniversary, the guide explores a central question:

What has enabled Jews to thrive in the United States, and what responsibilities come with that success?

American Jews have flourished largely because of democratic principles such as religious freedom, equality before the law, pluralism, and constitutional protections. At a moment when many Jews are concerned about polarization, antisemitism, and democratic erosion, the guide calls on American Jews to recommit to the democratic values that made Jewish flourishing possible.
