Last was "American Judaism: A History" by Jonathan Sarna. As a disclaimer, I'm an American Jew, so this book was deeply personal for me. That being said, this book is a deep, focused work of scholarship on the evolution of Judaism from the colonial period to the early 21st century that provides profound insight on the causes of the modern fault lines of modern American Jewish religious life. Highly recommend

"Judaism is not Zionism, and those who argue they are one and the same are being fundamentally dishonest. Yet collectively, Jews are often held responsible when the world's only Jewish state claims to act in our name.
For many Jews in the diaspora, Israel was framed as a beacon of freedom, a place of refuge in the event of pogroms or genocide.
But what if the victims of the Nazi genocide are now perpetrating a genocide against the Palestinians?
The Jewish community is undergoing a long-overdue moral reckoning with its identity, role and responsibility. Only some are meeting the moment."
