I have a lot of studying to do on this subject. At the moment I am pretty ignorant but curious and wanting to know more.

I'm not sure however that I get the point of the statement "Why is it that in America Soviet Jews and their children have been so successful professionally (think, for instance, of the inventor of Google), and yet have not been fully integrated or acculturated as either Jews or Americans?" That is, why does the author think this has not occurred? Does he think this is just an epiphemenon of the Soviet era? And if so, why? (Or, perhaps, is the answer in this collection, which I have not yet read?)<br /><br />(And on a meta level, how ironic: the word verification for this comment is putin[cro])rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.com
