Building a Public Judaism is written by Saskia Coenen Snyder and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674070577 (ISBN 10) and 9780674070578 (ISBN 13).

Coenen Snyder considers what the architecture and construction of nineteenth-century European synagogues reveal about the social progress of modern European Jews. The process of claiming a Jewish space was a marker of acculturation but not full acceptance, she argues. The new edifices, even if spectacular, revealed the limits of Jewish integration.
