(113). "The clashes were not always between the generations. Sometimes jealousy and prestige motivated the debates among the middle-aged men who ran small loan companies or were accountants, those for whom the synagogue was the only power arena, the only activity outside the home to acquire whatever recognition life held in store for them." (116) ch. 10: "Jesus Loves Me" "Converting a Jew is a special blessing for them." pg 121
