V^HARLES S. LIEBMAN, widely considered the preeminent ana- lyst of Jewish life in America and Israel, passed away at his home in Petah Tikvah, Israel, on September 4, 2003, just months after being awarded the prestigious Israel Prize for his scholarly work. A native of Brooklyn, New York, Liebman attended the Yeshiva of Flatbush, Gymnasia Herzliya in Tel Aviv, and the University of Miami, where he earned his B.A. He received a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Illinois in 1960, specializing in local politics and pub- lic administration. While teaching political science at Yeshiva University, Liebman pub- lished pathbreaking articles in the American Jewish Year Book that carved out a new career path in the social scientific study of Jews and Judaism. "Orthodoxy in American Jewish Life," featured in the 1965 Year Book, both anticipated and stimulated a wave of interest in what had been a ne- glected sector of American Jewry. This was followed by two equally in- novative Year Book essays on the Jewish religious condition, "The Train- ing of American Rabbis" (1968) and "Reconstructionism in American Jewish Life" (1970). Liebman's final Year Book piece, reflecting a broad- ened interest in what he called "Jewish political studies," was "Leader- ship and Decision-making in a Jewish Federation: The New York Fed- eration of Jewish Philanthropies" (1979). Liebman's first book, The Ambivalent American Jew: Politics, Religion, and Family in American Jewish Life (1973), painted a pessimistic picture of the American Jewish future. Caught between their residual Jewish identity and a powerful urge to integrate fully into an American society whose values were often at odds with those of classical Judaism, Lieb- man argued, Jews were likely, over time, to lose their sense of belonging to a distinctive Jewish culture, substituting for it a vague liberalism min- gled with a nostalgic sense of Jewishness. By the time the book appeared, Liebman had already addressed that problem for himself and his family by leaving the U.S. in 1969 and mov- ing to Israel, where he was one of the founders of the Department of Po- litical Science at Bar-Ilan University. Eventually, he came to head the uni- versity's Argov Institute for the Study of Israel and the Jewish People. Although he would frequently visit the U.S. and other countries to teach and lecture, Israel would be Liebman's home for the rest of his life. 617 618 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 2004 With the move to Israel, Liebman's scholarly focus turned increasingly toward the nature of Jewish religion and society there, and how it com- pared with its Diaspora counterparts. Among the significant books that he produced after his aliyah were Pressure Without Sanctions: The Influ- ence of World Jewry on Israeli Policy (1977); Civil Religion in Israel: Tra- ditional Judaism and Political Culture in the Jewish State (with Eliezer Don-Yehiya, 1983); Two Worlds of Judaism: The Israeli and American Ex- periences (with Steven M. Cohen, 1990); and Choosing Survival: Strate- gies for a Jewish Future (with Bernard Susser, 1999). He also revisited the American Jewish scene in Deceptive Images: Toward a Redefinition of American Judaism (1988). All told, Liebman published a dozen books and close to 100 articles. Everything he wrote bore the unmistakable Liebman imprint, employing keen observation, irreverence toward much accepted opinion, sophisti- cated use of concepts from the sociology of religion (such as the dis- tinctions between "elite" and "folk" religion, and between "ritual" and "ceremony"), and a deep love for the Jewish people. In addition to the Israel Prize, he also received, in 1998, the Cultural Achievement Award given by Israel's National Foundation for Jewish Culture. In his last years, Liebman was a sharp critic of what came to be known as Jewish "outreach" in America. Faithful to the perspective he had ar- ticulated more than three decades earlier in The Ambivalent American Jew, Liebman decried what he considered the watering down of the substance of Jewish life in order to attract the allegiance of intermarried families and unaffiliated Jews. He much preferred, as a communal strategy, the intensification of Jewish ethnic identity and religious practice among those already committed to Jewish survival. His strong stand on this issue—like many other positions he took dur- ing his life—made him unpopular in some quarters. But this very will- ingness to challenge popular wisdom contributed to the distinction of his scholarship, and will ensure the ongoing significance of his life's work.
