From a Jewish people to a Jewish religion: a shifting American Jewish Weltanschauung and its implications for Israel / Gordis, Daniel   Journal Article
Gordis, Daniel Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract 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.

Orthodox and other American Jews and their attitude to the Stat / Don-Yehiya, Eliezer   Journal Article
Don-Yehiya, Eliezer Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The central argument of Professor Gabi Sheffer in his interesting essay is that since the 1973 war American Jewry has experienced "a gradual process of decreasing loyalty to Israel and increasing criticism of it." He relates this process to two main factors. One of them is the growing integration of American Jews in their surrounding society and the other is the weakening of their Jewish identity.
