"This is the first serious book on Los Angeles Jewish history to come along in half a century. It covers the gamut of LA Jewish life from labor unions to the movies and music to three distinctly different Jewish women who shaped Los Angeles politics."--Bruce A.

"This is the first serious book on Los Angeles Jewish history to come along in half a century. It covers the gamut of LA Jewish life from labor unions to the movies and music to three distinctly different Jewish women who shaped Los Angeles politics."--Bruce A. Phillips, Senior Research Fellow at the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture "Los Angeles Jewry, its past and its present, deserve a book like this. The history of the Jews of this city goes back into the middle of the nineteenth century. Given this span of time, the internal developments and diversity of the Jews of Los Angeles and their impact on America as a whole make their history a subject worthy of study. This is a fine piece of work."--Hasia Diner, New York University "Thank you Karen Wilson for opening the door. From "Becoming Angelenos" to "White Christmases and Hanukkah Mambos" the five topical essays in this collection reveal the complex and intertwined relationship between Los Angeles and its Jewish population. L.A. has the 4th largest Jewish population, but no uniform Jewish identity. Readers who engage with Jews in the Los Angeles Mosaic will be led on a thought-provoking journey through a community where the idea of a stereotypical Jew is oxymoronic."--Ava F. Kahn, co-author of Jews of the Pacific Coast
