The authors briefly describe the historical roots of this unique phenomenal, examine the differences between the Israeli and the American Jewish staff members, portray the conflation of Hebrew and Israel, and discuss the way the emissaries present Israel. However, they are focusing on the level of the individual emissaries and ignore the fact that they are a part of a long-lasting Israeli effort to influence American Jewish youth in general and American Jewish camps in particular. Starting with David Ben-Gurion, Hebrew education became one of the central foundations of Israel-Diaspora relations. Over the years the State of Israel and Zionist organizations invested millions of dollars in this goal, and, as the authors show in their epilogue, Israeli leaders still emphasize it today, assuming “Hebrew functions as a common denominator” for different Jews (248–249). As the authors focus only on American Jewish archives and most of the interviewees are American, the book is lacks sufficient discussion of this context. Nevertheless, Hebrew Infusion is an impressive and well written scholarly work that extends our understanding of American Judaism both past and present. It is a profound academic work, and at the same time it avoids jargon and may serve as a relevant reading for teachers and educators. One can only hope such interdisciplinary works will keep emerging and enrich both the field of research and its methodology.","PeriodicalId":43104,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN JEWISH HISTORY","volume":"106 1","pages":"85 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43602655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The young mother of a two-year old and a one-month-old baby described, in A Bintel Brief, how the process of spousal desertion had unfolded. After she and her husband mutually agreed upon a divorce, the couple turned to a rabbi in Providence, Rhode Island, to dissolve the marriage.2 When the rabbi refused to proceed with the ceremony, rebuking the couple for “leaving a living orphan,” the husband tried his luck with a different religious authority, this time with more success. By then, however, the wife no longer agreed to a divorce. Yet, she was taken to the other rabbi by force, and divorced against her will. Lured by the twenty-five-dollar bill that the husband had placed in front of him, the second rabbi hurried to prepare the get (bill of divorce). Following this procedure, the man disappeared, leaving the “friendless woman” and their children entirely destitute. Consequently, the newly divorced woman wrote to the Forverts in search of the financial support necessary for her survival: “Now there remains for me to ask some advice of you, as to what I should do.","PeriodicalId":43104,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN JEWISH HISTORY","volume":"106 1","pages":"1 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46222338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
