Abstract
This is a time of renewal in the Jewish calender, the end of one year and the beginning of another. Yet there is a feeling—and it is no more than that—that beginning anew may this year relate to Israel-Diaspora relations, particularly in the shadow of the intifada. Are Diaspora Jews distancing themselves from Israel while, paradoxically, identifying with it? Is the post-Shoah generation of Jews as mesmerized by the existence of a Jewish state as the fading 1948 one? What is the place of America in the Jewish world? A secondary role to Israel or a symbiotic one? And what of all those independent and critical voices which continually pierce the ordered uniformity of communal organizations. Are we witnessing the emergence of a new Diaspora identity? THE JEWISH QUARTERLY asked a number of writers to air their views on the vexed question of the future of Diaspora Jewry.
