Synopsis

Despite making up a small percentage of the U.S. population, Jews and Muslims frequently draw significant media attention, often centered on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Beyond international issues, these two minority groups navigate similar domestic concerns in education, politics, and pop culture. This book explores how American Jews and American Muslims have engaged in dialogue, directly and indirectly, a phenomenon partly attributed to America's 'melting pot' ethos and the innovative ways Judaism and Islam have been shaped by the 'American experience.
