Plot

Volume V: A Time for Healing.A Time for Healing chronicles a time of rapid economic and social progress. Yet this phenomenal success, explains Edward S. Shapiro, came at a cost. Shapiro takes seriously the potential threat to Jewish culture posed by assimilation and intermarriage--asking if the Jewish people, having already endured so much, will survive America's freedom and affluence as well.
