Judging Jewish Identity in the United States

This book analyzes how concepts of race and religion were interpreted in the 1987 U.S. Supreme Court case Shaare Tefila Congregation v. Cobb, the first case to provide race-based legal protection to American Jews. The author examines how the judges viewed the White-perceived Jews as well as the congregants' reactions and embodied experiences.
