Thirty-five years ago, Deborah Dash Moore published "At Home in America," her groundbreaking look at how the children of immigrants blended elements of Jewish and American culture into a vibrant urban society.

Lila Corwin Berman and Tony Michaels, guest editors of the issue, joined us to talk about the project.
