Abstract:Jewish culture in the United States does not have conditions for endogenous production, and it has to make an appropriate choice between tradition and reality when interacting with diverse cultures of outside world. By analyzing the cooperative and symbiotic cultural spirit of Jewish Americans, the demographic characteristics reflected in occupational types, education background and political influence, the ethnic identity characteristics embodied in identity standards and cultural representation, social political position implicit in partisanship, attitudes towards state and community and social discrimination degree, the connotation of “culture every day” demonstrated in cultural ceremonies and moral improvement, and language expressions interpreted by the maintenance and innovation of traditional language, we may present an adaptive and balanced cultural choice of current Jewish Americans in the pursuit of their own cultural heritage and adaptation to a multicultural environment. In historical evolution, American Jewish culture reveals equal stress on the integration of diverse cultures and balanced development of different cultures.
