One is perhaps the most eminent historian of Jewish life in America. The other, a proponent of Flintstones marathons, bowling shirts and beer for breakfast. On the op-ed page of this week’s Forward, Joseph H. & Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History at Brandeis University Jonathan Sarna gets schooled by Heeb Humor Editor, David Deutsch on the myth of “Jewish secularism.”
