| Summary/Abstract |
In May–June 1969, David Ben-Gurion set out on his last trip abroad. Ben-Gurion, eighty-two years old, was aware of his situation and knew what the ravages of time had done to his ability to function. Still, he felt physically fit enough for one last effort. Thus, he spent five weeks visiting Jewish communities on three continents – his longest stay outside Israel since the country had been founded. The worldview that undergirded the journey and lent them purpose and meaning within the whole of Ben-Gurion’s outlook on the Jewish and Israeli reality sheds multifaceted light on the leader in his dotage.

| Summary/Abstract |
Recently, scholars have identified the existence of a distinct Israeli diaspora, as a group separate from the wider Jewish diaspora. The article presents quantitative data collected in Australia that supports this perception. The distinctiveness of Ausraelis ‒ the Israeli diaspora in Australia ‒ is manifested in detachment from Australian Jewry; the preservation of Israeli national identity; and an affiliative model of ties with the ‘real’ homeland, Israel, as opposed to an affiliative interaction of the Jewish diaspora with Israel, the ‘virtual’ homeland.

| Summary/Abstract |
There are two main opposing narratives employed by Israel's elite in its interaction with the Diaspora: one depicts the Jewish state as ‘strong, protective and salvaging’ and the other portrays it as a weak nation that ‘dwells alone’. This article argues that it is not only the two opposing narratives but also the same imagination agent that is an essential element of both Israel's political goals for the Diaspora and the Diaspora's transnational characteristics. It will also present a model for analysing the relationship between historical trauma and threat from future traumas as imagination agents, the Homeland political goals and trauma as the main diasporic characteristic.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the role of Jewish Diaspora considerations in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy towards the states of Central and Eastern Europe. Israel has traditionally sought to attain both its state-centred national goals and those of the Jewish Diaspora. Under the Netanyahu governments (2009–21) a major change took place whereby the Diaspora’s existence was viewed as dependent on Israel’s continued survival and success; hence only a strong Israel can help the Diaspora. The security and wellbeing of the Jewish Diaspora thus remains a central Israeli goal, but it is to be pursued via Israel’s strengthening on the one hand, and the deepening of Jewish identity and awareness among Diaspora Jews, on the other.

| Summary/Abstract |
Many observers agree about the marginal position and involvement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) as well as all other ministries active in the sphere of Israeli-Jewish Diaspora relations, which is closely connected to Israeli governments' general positions and attitudes toward the Jewish Diaspora. The article examines the historical sources of this situation in the Israeli government. It discusses especially the role of the MFA, which, theoretically, should have been very closely involved in Israeli-Jewish Diaspora relations. It focuses mainly on the period from 1948 until the mid-1950s.
