there has not been until now an
adequate guidebook. Therefore,
the publication this June by the
Jewish Publications Society of
America of A Jewish Tourists
Guide to the U. S. by Bernard
Postal and Lionel Koppman, is
greatly to be welcomed.
Before the authors describe the
notable sites, they present popu-
larly and instructively the back
ground of the Jewish community
in the colonies, states and cities.
History and guidebook are very
well combined. This book may
be read, for the sheer JOY of read
ing, in an armchair on quiet,
restful evening. It is an excellent
introduction to the life and adj
ventures Of the American Jew
since the days of Peter Stuyves-
ant.
For the first time the reader
who runs, as well as the academi-
clan who ponders, has an overall
picture of the Jew on the Ameri-
can scene. 1t is a delightful ac-
count, full of interest and adven-
ture, for it has captured the ex-
element of the growth and devel-
opment of the Jewish community
in the United States.
