This chapter looks at how young Israeli Jews, between 20 and 30 years of age understand Zionism, the relationship between Israel and the Diaspora and their connection to the Jewish tradition. It maps the attitudes of the Jewish Agency shlichim and a control group of students at Ruppin College vis-à-vis different aspects of belonging to the Jewish people.
