Continued from page 7 individual writers bring to bear a wide range of expertise in archaeology, history, folklore, art, and literature. Each of their essays is supported by pages of notes and a selected bibliography. As many of the writers make clear, Jews have always been affected by surrounding societies. Reciprocal interaction has resulted in a process of adoption and adaptation that led to mutual influence and change. The result has been many different Jewish cultures, although continuity has been provided by the sacred texts. The study of these cultures, facilitated by this book, may be useful in shaping the future of Jewish culture. Some American readers may be drawn immediately to the last essay, which deals with American Jewish culture in the 20"' century. Author Whitfield, a professor at Brandeis University, stresses the Jewish contribution to American culture, especially in literature, language, entertainment, and film. He singles out as an illustration of American freedom and receptivity the creation of the popular icon, Superman, by two Jews. Synagogue architecture and Jewish feminism are also considered in what becomes a potpourri of topics, treated rather superficially. There is far more depth to some of the other essays in this section, such as those that examine folk cultures in the modern state of Israel, the Jews of North Africa, or Hebrew cul-

ture in Israel. This is a book to read bit by bit. It is a significant reference source that succeeds in achieving its objective of scrutinizing Jewish cultures through space and time. The book richly reflects the stellar achievements of contemporary Jewish scholarship. Dr. Morton I. Teicher is the founding dean of the Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Yeshiva University, and Dean Emeritus, School of Social Work, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Teicher Continued from page 13 Wigoder's editorial judgment. The result is a handy source of introductory information that is easily readable and that provides an excellent base for additional inquiry. To assist those who wish to explore further, the book includes a valuable annotated bibliography. The New Encyclopedia of Judaism adds 250 essays that are new to this edition, and it contains updated versions of the entries that appeared in the 1989 version. There are many illustrations, several of them in vivid color. The index is usefully crossreferenced so that related topics can be quickly identified, and there is a helpful glossary. Comprehensive coverage of many subjects and its other useful features combine to make this volume one that should be in all Jewish homes. It makes a wonderful gift!
