Jewish American Culture
See also: Secular Jewish cultureSince the time of the last major wave of Jewish immigration to America (over 2,000,000 Eastern European Jews who arrived between 1890 and 1924), Jewish secular culture in the United States has become integrated in almost every important way with the broader American culture. Many aspects of Jewish American culture have, in turn, become part of the wider culture of the United States.

“In society, in the best institutions of men, it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men.
