Through the medium of such portraits of teaching personalities and  styles, as well as firsthand descriptions of various educational  settings in the New York City of the 30s and 40s, he comments on  aspects of immigrant life, the tensions between religious and secular  worlds, the psychology of learning and teaching, the relations between  universalism and particularism, the contrasts between intensive  education and instrumental schooling, and related themes. These  themes, although exemplified in the details of his own experience, are  of quite general significance. \u003cbr\u003e  The book will be of special interest for those concerned with Jewish  life, with religious education, with the immigrant experience and with  the recent American past. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792332329\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 208\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312042758284,"sku":"9780792332329","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792332329","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
