Abstract:
This article reviews research on the relationship of religion and ethnicity to neighborhood interaction in Israel and to involvement in the Jewish community in the United States. It highlights one major difference between Israel and the Diaspora. Whereas in Israel, ethnicity is a barrier to interaction that is reduced by a common religiocultural system, in the United States ethnicity is the foundation of Jewish involvement.
