Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The Jews have been an urban people par excellence, and their influence on the urban landscape is unmistakable.

It features essays on Orthodox Jewry in the city, Jewish-Christian relations, klezmer music, the impact of urbanization on German Jewry, the Jewish communities in New York andSt. Petersburg, and the emergence of the first "Hebrew City" (Tel-Aviv). It also includes a discussion of the new prayer book of the Conservative movement in Israel.
