This book includes features such as: investigates the significance, contribution, and role played by the State of Israel - ideologically and practically - in the identity of Diaspora Jews; explores the extent and way Israel features in Diaspora identity through a range of issues including: anti-Semitism and anti- Zionism, Jewish continuity and Israel visits, the peace process, pro- Israel lobbying, philanthropy, religious thought and gender; examines the place of Israel in the identity of Jewish communities in eight countries and amongst the Israeli Diaspora. A unique feature of this volume is that each chapter is followed by short and insightful viewpoints by Israeli and Diaspora commentators, with the book reflecting a dialogue between these different voices from across the Jewish world.
