	Review of Jew vs. Jew: Cracks in the American mosaic - Jewish Media Resources
		For example, the ubiquitous presence of deeply observant Jews at all levels of the professional, academic and business spheres of contemporary life and the extensive outreach by Orthodox organizations and individuals alike to Jews from across the religious spectrum are easily ascertainable facts that belie the trite characterizations of Orthodox insularity.
		Indeed, some of the more curious features of the dominant American Jewish mindset seem explicable only by reference to a paradoxical mix of Jews’ insecurity, embarrassment and concomitant desire to hold the growth and visibility of openly observed, full-time Judaism to a minimum, on the one hand, and their inchoate spiritual longings, on the other.
		These writers confirm a basic fact of Jewish history: that the inexorable march of events has its own way of settling long-running ideological debates and consigning to obscurity, and at times, ignominy, even the most temporally vigorous of "Jewish" movements---and that the American Jewish experience of the century just ended is no exception.
