      By interrogating America's promise of a home for Jews as a citizen of a liberal state, this text questions the very terms of this social "contract". Maintaining that Jews, women and Jewish women are not necessarily secure within this construction of the state, the author links this contractural construction of belonging and acceptance to legacies of marriage as a contractural home for Jewish women. Exploring the immigration of Jews from Eastern Europe into America, the book raises questions about the search for stability in specific Jewish religious and cultural traditions, which is linked to the liberal academy as well as feminist study, thus offering an account of an ambivalent Jewish feminist embrace of America as home.
