Israel and Diaspora Jewry

Ideological and Political Perspectives

Edited by: Eliezer Don-Yehiya
A collection of essays and articles dealing with various aspects of Israel-Diaspora relations. The contributors are well-known authorities on the subject from Israel and abroad, as well as spiritual leaders of Diaspora Jewish com-munities. The unifying theme of the book is the enduring solidarity between Israel and the Diaspora, despite the existence of strains and tensions in their relationship, and the tendency of Diaspora Jewry to move toward a greater autonomy vis-a-vis the Jewish State.
