A new book has just been released called Why Are Jews Liberals by longtine Commentary Magazine’s editor-in-chief Norman Podhoretz. I haven’t procured a copy yet, but plan to upon next trip to the book store. While a similar attempt to answer this seemingly elusive question has been made by a much lesser known author, Larry Steinberg, I very much look forward to Podhoretz’s take.
Some on-line analysis has been provided by pundits who have read advance copies, which I recommend to anyone more interested in the book. One is this symposium by contributors DAVID WOLPE, JONATHAN D. SARNA, MICHAEL MEDVED, WILLIAM KRISTOL AND JEFF JACOBY. Ron Rosenbaum at Pajamas Media has this piece as well.
On the blogosphere, check out Robert Stacy McCain’s review and analysis here. Read the comments too. As of this writing there is quite a heated debate taking place between commenters!
I hope to have a few personal theories confirmed by Podhoretz’s new book, and hope to learn a lot too.
