The Impact of the Presidency of Donald Trump on American Jewry and Israel
The Trump presidency has resulted in a fundamentally disruptive moment in this nation's political culture. Not only were there different policy options and directions, but the cultural artifacts of politics changed because of how this president dramatically challenged the existing norms of political behavior and action. As we have shifted from a period of American liberalism to a time of political populism, deep fissures are dividing Americans in general and Jews in particular.

Jewish Polity and American Civil Society
Jewish Polity and American Civil Society is a study of the civic and political engagements of American Jews as mediated by their communal and denominational institutions. The book explores how the various branches of the organized Jewish community seek to influence public affairs. Over the course of the last century, Jewish agencies and religious movements have tried to shape public debate and public policy on such issues as civil rights, church-state relations, and American foreign policy. The book sets the history of Jewish engagement in these areas into historical context; analyzes the motives, strategies, and tactics of various Jewish groups, and evaluates their successes and failures. The book also explores the underlying idea--the public philosophy--that informs American Jews' understanding of civic and political engagement.

Mission, Meaning, and Money:
BEHIND THE SCENES AT AMERICAS LARGEST JEWISH CHARITY The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, affectionately referred to as the Joint, is considered to be one of the most effective and professionally-run Jewish nonprofit organizations in the United States. To support and expand its rescue, relief, and renewal programs that help individuals in need in almost 70 countries, the organization has in recent years become a fundraising powerhouse. How does the Joint raise over $100 million each year? By delving deeply into this question, author Mark I. Rosen offers an absorbing history of the Joint that reveals much about the complex structure of Jewish philanthropy in the United States. In the process, he also illuminates principles and practices that can be adopted by any nonprofit to improve leadership and fundraising effectiveness. This well-written and well-researched book is an excellent resource for those with interests in nonprofit management, philanthropy, and organizational change.
