Jew vs. Jew by Sam Freedman, should be read by every Jew, inmarried or intermarried, and every non-Jew married to a Jew and affiliated with the Jewish community. It is a compelling account of what is really going on in American Jewry today. No side comes out unscathed. It shows Orthodox intolerance in certain instances. But it also shows Reform intolerance actually keeping Orthodox Jews out of their community for no other reason than the fact that they are Orthodox. And Freedman's ultimate assessment is that the religious impulse, and not the cultural or ethnic or secular ones, is what is triumphing in American Jewish life. All three major movements are moving more to the right, and becoming more traditional in practice, even as they seemingly move further from one another. Freedman's assessment points overwhelmingly to an American Jewish future where the Orthodox will continue to grow, those who are not Orthodox will continue to become more traditional, and those who do not embrace tradition will continue to fall away from Jewish life altogether.
