Yet, by the 1950s, the United States became home to the largest Jewish community at that time. Why did millions of Jews come to the United States? How has life in a liberal political and capitalist economic order shaped the Jewish experience in the United States? In turn, how have Jews influenced American culture, politics, and society? Surveys the history of American Jews from the 17th century to the 21st century. Using Jews as the primary, though not only, case, examines themes in the history of immigration, ethnicity, and religion. Topics include patterns of political activity, social mobility, processes of integration and exclusion, Jewish culture, religion, and problems in community building. Not open to students with credit for JEWISH 219 prior to Fall 2026. ### requirements text None ### credits min 3 ### credits max 4 ### credit offering ids * 1272:448:021387 * 1272:510:021387 ### llm
