Abstract:

This is a policy statement adopted by the Board of Governors of the American Jewish Committee on the topic of American Jewish-Israeli relations. The situations for Israelis and for Diaspora Jews have both changed significantly since 1948, the board asserts, but many things also remain the same. The document explores these changes and continuities on topics including Jewish education, political support, Israel's Law of Return, philanthropic support, religious pluralism, aliyah (Jewish immigration to Israel) and others.
