Professor Jack Wertheimer interviewed more than 200 rabbis and academics from across the country, exploring the question:  What do we know about the lived Judaism of American Jews?

• "Which religious rituals resonate the most? And which have been reinterpreted in recent years to strike contemporary chords?"
• Is mobilizing support for a political candidate tikkun olam?
• "Who needs Jewish Denominations?"
• Has Judaism become "a religion of peak moments"?
• Will "American Jews...find sustenance and inspiration in...old/new commitments as they create the next iteration of a new/old Judaism"?
