In a recent treatise on the 'Historiography of American Jewish Education' the author (Krasner, 2011a, p. 117) quoted Sarna's critique on 'the death of high caliber scholarship on the history of American Jewish Education' (Sarna, 1998, p. 8). Indeed, the aim of this study is an historical-analytical exposition of 'Theories of Americanization' referring to Jewish education at one of the major crossroads in the United States of America, the latter years of the 19th century and early part of the 20th century.
