- Having spent 31 years of my professional life at
Rutgers University, as of July 1, 2006, I am a Professor Emeritus of
Sociology and Jewish Studies.
- I now live in Jerusalem, Israel, where I continue to
spend much of my time in research and writing.
- I was a Senior Fellow at the Jewish People Policy Planning
Institute in Jerusalem until March 1, 2009. I am now a Senior Fellow at the Van Leer
Jerusalem Institute.
- In addition to numerous articles and review-essays, my
books include The Stigma of Poverty: A Critique of Poverty Theories
and Policies (Pergamon Press, 1977; Second Edition, 1983); America's
Jews in Transition (Temple University Press, 1983), American
Aliya (Wayne State University Press, 1989), and Jewish Baby Boomers:
A Communal Perspective (State University of New York Press,
2001). I also co-authored (with Rafael Medoff) the Historical
Dictionary of Zionism (Scarecrow Press, 2000; Second Edition, 2008; Paperback
Edition titled, The A to Z of Zionism, 2009); (with Shalom Z. Berger and Daniel Jacobson) Flipping
Out? Myth or Fact: The Impact of the “Year in Israel” (Yashar Books,
2007); and have edited and co-edited more than a half-dozen works in such
diverse areas as political sociology, ethnicity, and social thought, and
Israeli society and culture, among others, the most recent being Religious
Zionism Post Disengagement: Future Directions (Yeshiva University
Press and Ktav, 2008).
- My major professional sub-disciplines are sociology of
religion and sociology of ethnicity, and I have interests in political
sociology and the social stratification. I also regularly taught a course
in Classical Sociological Theory.
- I am currently working on a study of Jewish identity
and identification.
- I am also conducting research on American Israelis as
well as on American Modern Orthodox Judaism.
