Dr. Lowenstein grew up in Washington Heights and returned to research the book, which was published in 1989 by Wayne State University Press. He writes in the introduction, "... I tried to reconstruct a picture of the process by which a traditionally community becomes less traditional. In the course of the study I came to the conclusion that the process of change was both slower and more complex than that suggested in the conventional picture of developments in modern Jewry. In this study of the German Jews of Washington Heights, I investigate the end result of the process of modernization of one group of German Jews. I do this with the full recognition that Washington Heights represents only one extreme of the spectrum of German Jewry."

Dr. Lowenstein is the Isadora Levine professor of Jewish history at the [[American Jewish University]], which has campuses in Bel-Air and Brandeis, Calif. He earned his B.A. at the [[City College of New York]] and his M.A. and Ph.D. at [[Princeton University]].<ref>{{cite web
