Reviews for 80: From Ben Bradlee to Lena Horne to Carl Reiner, Our Most Famous Eighty Year Olds Reveal Why They Never Felt So Young

'This Companion will both introduce newer readers to American Judaism and remind those familiar with the issues just how complex and topical they are. ... Dana Evan Kaplan ... has organized a perceptive and coherent series of chapters on American Judaism ... They inform and never condescend. ... changes and trends are mapped with scholarly intensity and stylistic clarity: this is not a pretentious or intimidating scholarly work, and accessibility and a zeal to tell it as it is pervades the Companion from start to finish. ... Real value for money for the academic and private collection ... [and] a useful portal to many other books and writers worth acquiring and reading ...' Reference Reviews 'That said, American Judaism is an outstanding resource that is broad, introductory and accessible ... It would serve as a superb reader for advanced undergraduate courses and will be a useful resource for both students and scholars.' Studies in Religion
