This anthology brings together a far-ranging collection of articles from the magazine's first quarter century, covering a tremendously broad range of issues and topics. A sample of the articles includes: 'The Canadian Jewish Community and Zionism'; Is the Public School the Arena for Religious Education?'; 'Mission to Nicaragua'; 'Is Huckleberry Finn Racist?'; 'Equality of Kibbutz Women'; 'Being A Working-Class Jew'; 'Canada's Penal System Indicted'; and 'The Decline of the Jewish Left'. Its breadth and the quality of the writing make it a valuable survey of the past quarter century, of interest to socially concerned Canadians generally.
