The construction of a secular Jewish identity / S. Ilan Troen -- Producing the future / Jeffrey Shandler -- Moroccan Jews and the shaping of Israel's sacred geography /Yoram Bilu -- Identity, ritual, and pilgrimage / Michael Feige -- Mirror, mirror on the wall / Jenna Weissman Joselit -- Sculpting an American Jewish hero / Beth S. Wenger -- Imagining Europe / Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett -- The Shoah as Israel's political trope / Gulie Ne'eman Arad -- "I am other" / Nurith Gertz -- "A drastically bifurcated legacy" / Tresa Grauer -- The impact of statehood on the Hebrew literary imagination / Arnold J. Band -- Becoming ethnic, becoming American / Ewa Morawska -- Strangers no longer / Ira Katznelson -- Changing places, changing cultures / Daniel J. Elazar -- Epilogue on living in two cultures / Arthur Aryeh Goren.
Two creative centres of Jewish life rose to prominence in the twentieth century, one in Israel and the other in the United States. Although Israeli and American Jews share kinship and history drawn from their Eastern European roots, they have developed divergent cultures from their common origins, often seeming more like distant cousins than close relatives. Using examples from literature, art, history, and politics, this book explores why this is so, examining how two communities that constitute eighty per cent of the world's Jewish population have created separate identities and cultures.
