Description: Using data drawn from a study of pluralistic Jewish high schools to illustrate the complex and often challenging interplay between the cognitive and socio-affective elements of education, Kress grapples with such questions as: How can the balance between community cohesion and group differences be achieved in diverse settings?

Review Quotes: This book presents an important and realistic treatment of Jewish education. Of particular value is the recognition that the formal and informal dimensions of Jewish education cannot in practice be separated. All in all, I highly recommend this book.--Roberta Rosenberg Farber
