| Abstract: |
This paper explores the history of Jewish day schools in Los Angeles, especially in the context of resistance to court-ordered busing in the late 1970s. This contentious issue brought the evolving dynamics within the Jewish community to the fore, in addition to property tax changes, highway construction, and anti-black racism. By analyzing the intersection of educational, cultural, and political factors, the article highlights the tensions within the Jewish community regarding identity, integration, and education in a changing urban landscape within the framework of Jewish institutions and the shifting relationship Jews have had with day schools in the United States.
