Israel's Impact On American
Jewish Life Established by Scientists
NEW YORK, (JTA) The impact of Israel on Jewish life in
this country is "affirmative, definite and conclusive," extending to
the synagogue and the home, to the Jewish religious school as well
as to cultural activities. It has also helped to submerge the ideologi
cal differences of American Jewry. These were the conclusions reach
ed by American Jewish social scientists and historians after a two
day conference which closed last week.
»
The program, divided into three
sessions, was designed to deter
mine the degree to which the re
ciprocal relationship between
American Jewry and Israel Jewry
affects various areas of American
Jewish life, such as education,
self-identification and communal
activities. The conference was
convened by the Theodor Herzl
Institute, an educational and cul
tural research center for the study
of Zionism and the Conference on
Jewish Social Studies, an associa

tion of sociologists and historians.
Its purpose was to measure the
influence of the State of Israel on
the cultural and communal life of
American Jewry.
Arnold Gurin, director of Field
Service of the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds,
said that "the community organ
ization pattern" of Jewish Jewry
is strengthened and popularized
by the successful "response to the
needs of Israel." Consequently,
the unprecedented support of Is
rael by American Jews benefits
the Jewish communities in that
their central organizations have
become representative and demo
cratic institutions.
He also explained that fund
raising for Israel has tended to
unify American Jews in that
ideological differences have been
submerged “in view of the large
role played by the entire Ameri
can Jewish community in relation
to the needs of Israel.” He brought
THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY
out that the success of each cam
paign was determined not only
by the existence of Israel but also
by its security, and that American
Jews’ financial assistance is sym
bolic of their “sense of responsi
bility for the political survival of
the state which responds vigor
ously in times of trouble.”
There is universal agreement,
"that the Israel factor is impor
tant in the process of Jewish
identification" which has been
growing throughout the country
during the last decade. Dr. Abra
ham G. Duker, president of the
College of Jewish Studies in Chi
cago, stated in his paper. He fur
ther pointed out that the positive
impact of Israel on the synagogue,
"the center of organized Jewish
life." has been manifest in its ac
tivities.
Israel’s impact on Jewish ideol
ogies in this country was de
scribed by Dr. Ben Halpern of
Harvard University. Fundamen
tally, the rise of Israel confronted
American Jewish organizations
with the need to formulate their
attitude towards the state. There
by they clarified their viewpoint
of the Jewish future and the role
of Israel in that future, he stated.
Professor Joseph L. Blau of Co
lumbia University, Dr. Emil Leh
man. director of the Theodor
Herzl Institute, and Dr. Judd L.
Teller, political secretary of the
World Zionist Organization of
America and head of the Herzl
Institute officially opened the
meetings, and Professor Salow W.
Baron of Columbia University and
honorary president of the Confer
ence on Jewish Social Studies
formally closed the assembly.
