RABBI STUART HALPERN serves as the Senior Advisor to the Provost and Deputy Director of the Zahava and Moshael J. Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought at Yeshiva University. His writing on the Hebrew Bible’s impact on the United States has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Tablet, Jewish Review of Books, and First Things. Among his edited books are The Promise of Liberty: A Passover Haggadah, Esther in America, and Proclaim Liberty throughout the Land: The Hebrew Bible in the United States.
For much of American history, an impassable gulf seemed to separate Jews and Christians, keeping their respective peoples and cultures far apart. But in recent decades that has begun to change. Suitable for both classroom use and stand-alone reading, the highly accessible contents of Jewish Roots of American Liberty will inform and inspire those who want to illuminate the bond between the American and Jewish stories and convey the blessings of that bond to a rising generation.
