Yet, over the past few decades, several of its familiar features have changed, including its religious and organizational structure, the extent to which Jews of color are integrated into the community, how the relationship with Israel has evolved, and its approaches to gender roles and the LGBTQ+ community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing up-to-date and groundbreaking additions by a powerhouse group of experts on various aspects of contemporary Judaism, \u003ci\u003eThe State of American Jewry\u003c\/i\u003e describes the current nature of American Jewish life.
