In elegant style, Stephen G. Bloom masterfully tells the story of this tiny Iowa farm town and the influx of ultra-Orthodox Jews who simultaneously save it and turn it upside down. The book reads like a good mystery as Bloom, a secular Jew, makes his way through Postville, trying to figure out why the people who opened a kosher slaughterhouse there have so alienated their neighbors. Postville: A Clash of Cultures in Heartland America (ISBN ) is a book by journalist Stephen G. Bloom. The book documents the struggle between the small town of Postville, Iowa, and a group of new arrivals: Lubavitcher Hasidim from New York City who came to the town to run Agriprocessors, the largest kosher meat plant in the United States. The true clash of cultures is when people think that OTHER people should change to accept those around them. Some people in Postville were willing to accept the outsiders. They welcomed the newcomers with great hope that the Jews would integrate into the well-established culture of Postville. Other Postvillians were more skeptical.
