American Jews in the Heartland

Book of the Day: Postville: A Clash of Cultures in Heartland America, by Stephen G. Bloom.

In theory, Americans pride themselves and their country on the tolerance shown towards outsiders and religious minorities. This ideal of tolerance is exalted even further by those who advocate multiculturalism. This is a nation of immigrants, after all, and many of those came here seeking religious freedom. Reality, however, is a different story - it is also the story of a town named Postville.
