A New Day in America
Steven Windmueller, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Jewish Communal Studies
In his latest blog for, “The Times of Israel,” 91 Faculty Emeritus Steven Windmueller, Ph.D., explores the evolving “American experience” that has previously defined our nation, society, and Jewish community. He expands upon the five principles that defined the American Jewish mindset:
- The US-Israel partnership was secure and sustainable
- When dealing with global anti-Semitism, America was the exception.
- America was described and experienced as the “Golden Medina” (“Golden Country”)
- Liberalism served as the centerpiece of Jewish political behavior.
- You can walk the streets of America feeling safe!
