"Joshua Leifer’s Tablets Shattered is both a history of Judaism in America and a cri de coeur from a heartbroken member of the tribe." 

— The New York Times, Editors' Choice

“One of the book’s strengths is its ability to corral many diverse Jewish voices. . . . Readers will leave Leifer’s book feeling that American Judaism is less a shattered tablet and more a rich tapes­try with plenty of flaws and the capacity for real beauty.” 

— Jewish Book Council

"The author does not shy away from blunt criticism of numerous politicians and personalities who have shaped his own sense of dissent and stirred the anger of fellow young progressive Jews—an anger that only grows as the present conflict continues to claim thousands of lives. In a candid, intellectual...book, Leifer pulls no punches."
