description
American Jews as a group have been defined, politically and historically, by both their commitment to American liberal values and their affinity for the State of Israel. However, recent studies suggest that younger American Jews are becoming increasingly alienated from the Jewish state. This paper seeks to explain this trend in the context of the historical and political experience of the American Jewish community.
