The Jews in Australia

"The Jews in Australia traces the Jewish community's history, explores what makes it different from others around the world, and draws comparisons between the Melbourne and Sydney components, each with its distinctive institutions and particular character. Though the very success of Jewish integration into Australia's diverse society has sharpened community debate about such key issues as intermarriage and the shifting roles of women, the dominant picture is of a thriving and vibrant community."--BOOK JACKET.
