书籍简介

在屠杀之后的几十年里，美国犹太带领者们焦虑地争论着如何保存和创造他们所认为的正宗犹太文化，他们担心日益增长的富裕和郊区化会威胁到犹太人生活的未来。

许多社区教育家和拉比认为，如果没有教育干预，他们所理解的犹太教将完全消失。他们把希望寄托在犹太青年的寄宿夏令营上：战后几十年在美国各地兴起的机构，作为儿童和青少年社交、重现和体验犹太文化的地方。成年人对犹太人未来的恐惧、希望和梦想影响着营地生活的每一个方面，从他们教授的语言到鼓励浪漫和允许的性行为。

但成年人的计划并不构成营地里发生的一切：儿童和青少年也会塑造这些宿营，以反映他们自己的愿望和兴趣，并决定是接受还是抵制营地领导人所提倡的思想和意识形态。

《夏日犹太人》着眼于露营者和露营辅导员的实际生活，展示了文化危机如何催生出一种至今仍对美国犹太人生活产生重大影响的成年礼。

In the decades directly following the Holocaust, Americanleaders anxiously debated how to preserve and produce what they considered authenticculture, fearful that growing affluence and suburbanization threatened the future oflife. 

Many communal educators and rabbis contended that without educational interventions, Judaism as they understood it would disappear altogether. They pinned their hopes on residential summer camps foryouth: institutions that sprang up across the U.S. in the postwar decades as places for teenagers to socialize, recreate, and experienceculture. Adults' fears, hopes, and dreams about thefuture inflected every element of camp life, from the languages they taught to what was encouraged romantically and permitted sexually. 

But adult plans did not constitute everything that occurred at camp: teenagers also shaped these sleepaway camps to mirror their own desires and interests and decided whether to accept or resist the ideas and ideologies their camp leaders promoted.

Focusing on the lived experience of campers and camp counselors, The Jews of Summer demonstrates how a cultural crisis birthed a rite of passage that remains a significant influence in Americanlife.
