Summary:
"Relations
between
the
American
Jewish community and
Israel
are at an all-time nadir. Most explanations pin the blame on
Israel
's conduct: its handling of the conflict with the Palestinians, its attitude toward non-Orthodox Judaism, and the Jewish state's dismissive view of
American
Jews
in general. Others point an accusing finger at
American
Jews
, insisting that in embracing America's progressive values, many
American
Jews
have become more sympathetic to
Israel
's enemies than they are to the Jewish state. But these explanations, Daniel Gordis argues, miss the real causes for the divide. Gordis's new book,
We
Stand
Divided
: The
Rift
Between
American
Jews
and
Israel
, examines the history of the troubled relationship, showing that from the very outset--even before the state of
Israel
was created--the two communities' dreams for a Jewish future had little in common.
American
Jews
and Israelis built their respective communities to embrace different opportunities and in response to different challenges. Over decades, two radically diverging visions of Jewish life emerged. Thus, Gordis argues, as a first step to healing the breach, the two communities must acknowledge and discuss their profoundly different purposes and moral commitments. Only then can they forge a path forward, together."--Dust jacket flap.
