Jews in America: A Photographic Documentary Coffee Table Book by David Cohen Introduction by Chaim Potok Published 1989

The Jews in America is the result of the most ambitious photographic project ever to focus on the American Jewish community. Over the course of nearly a year, 60 of the nation's finest magazine and newspaper photographers spread out across the country, creating a composite portrait of contemporary American Jewish life, recording it traditions, beliefs, and achievements. From the row houses of Brooklyn to Jewish cowboys in California, from a Bar Mitzvah in Houston to a chicken soup cook-off in Minneapolis, the photographs document a small bright chapter in the long history of a people. Photographs depicting Jewish customs and traditions are accompanied by clear, concise explanations which make the book accessible to Jews and non-Jews alike. The Jews in America also features an introductory essay by acclaimed author Chaim Potok and is produced by the editors and photographers of the bestselling 'Day in the Life' series.
