Within this frame of reference policies appropriate to claims advanced in the name of the Jews depend upon which Jewish identity is involved, as well as upon the nature of the claim, the characteristics of the claimant, the justifications proposed, and the predispositions of the community decision makers who are called upon to act.

The formal position of Americans who identify themselves with one or more of the several identities of the Jewish symbol is already clear ; ;

He is New York-born and Jewish.

This is not to deny the existence of pogroms and ghettos, but only to assert that these horrors have had an effect on the nerves of people who did not experience them, that among the various side effects is the local hysteria of Jewish writers and intellectuals who cry out from confusion, which they call oppression and pain.

Finally, there is the undeniable fact that some of the finest American fiction is being written by Jews, but it is not Jewish fiction ; ;

One of the significant things about Jewish culture in the older teen years is that it is largely college-oriented.

It is significant, too, that the older teen-agers I interviewed believed, unlike the younger ones, that Jewish students tend to do better academically than their gentile counterparts.

The percentage of Jewish girls who attend college is almost as high as that of boys.

The vocational motive is the dominant one for boys, while Jewish girls attend college for social reasons and to become culturally developed.

It is they who read -- and make -- Jewish best-sellers and then persuade their husbands to read them.

The Jewish working girl almost invariably works in an office -- in contradistinction to gentile factory workers -- and, buttressed by a respectable income, she is likely to dress better and live more expansively than the college student.

One of the reasons for the high percentage of Jewish teen-agers in college is that a great many urban Jews are enabled to attend local colleges at modest cost.

This is particularly true in large centers of Jewish population like New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

What is noteworthy about this large group of teen-agers is that, although their attitudes hardly differentiate them from their gentile counterparts, they actually lead their lives in a vast self-enclosed Jewish cosmos with relatively little contact with the non-Jewish world.

Second, the attitude in Jewish families is far more protective toward the daughter than toward the son.

Brooklyn College is unequivocally Jewish in tone, and efforts to detribalize the college by bringing in unimpeachably midwestern types on the faculty have been unavailing.

Historians identify several waves of migration to the United States: one from 1815 – 1860, in which some five million English, Irish, Germanic, Scandinavian, and others from northwestern Europe came to the United States ; one from 1865 – 1890, in which some 10 million immigrants, also mainly from northwestern Europe, settled, and a third from 1890 – 1914, in which 15 million immigrants, mainly from central, eastern, and southern Europe ( many Austrian, Hungarian, Turkish, Lithuanian, Russian, Jewish, Greek, Italian, and Romanian ) settled in the United States.

In the Masoretic Text, it appears as a single work, either the first or last book of the Ketuvim ( the latter arrangement also making it the final book of the Jewish Bible ).

The story is also the first time that the word Jew ( י ְ הו ּ ד ִ י ) was used, thus denoting a distinction between the Hebrews, the Israelites, and their Jewish descendants in the diaspora.
