In telling the story of why the Jews left and the Catholics stayed, Gerald Gamm places neighborhood institutions–churches, synagogues, community centers, schools–at its center. Rather, according to Gamm, basic institutional rules explain the strength of Catholic attachments to neighborhood and the weakness of Jewish attachments. And because their survival was predicated on their portability and autonomy, Jewish institutions exacerbated the Jewish exodus. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
