“Dan Spiro challenges both the religious skeptics and the fundamentalists of all faiths. His ability to clarify how a person can meaningfully occupy a middle ground between those positions is a welcome addition to the growing literature on spirituality. Most importantly, the book helps us understand the power of multi-faith engagement. Each of us can become better human beings if we are faithful to our respective religious heritages even as we explore, ally with, and learn from people of other faiths. Only then can religion help us chart a course to a more peaceful and just world.”

“David Kuney’s memoir of his family’s journey offers a rich social history of the evolution of Jewish identity in America. The immigrant generation both runs away from its Jewish roots in its desire to acculturate, and yet still serves as the anchor for that very identity for their children and grandchildren. The memoir is deeply personal, but it also reflects a more universal theme: how America has made it possible for a myriad of cultural identities to emerge and flourish with a unique American twist.”
