description: Israel Finestein examines the contrasts between the realities of Jewish life in what was - at the end of the last century - described as the lower strata of the community and the aspirations of the self-consciously anglicized Jewish leadership. The author seeks to unfold the springs of action of these years, and reveal the onset of those problems of identity, purpose and assmiliation which are under debate at the end of the millennium.
