| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Professor Gabriel Sheffer is correct in asserting that relations between Israel and Diaspora Jews are more fraught than they have been in a long time, and that according to some measures, American Jewish support for Israel may be on the decline. Such support, of course, is difficult to measure, and in many respects, American Jewish support for Israel remains strong. We are, without a doubt, living in a period of significantly shifting sands, and we are in Sheffer's debt for not only pointing to it, but for suggesting some of its causes. |
