President Bill Clinton and, for the most part, has
achieved remarkable success.
A spirit of cooperation has been substituted

been planted by giving the Palestinians administration of Gaza

Will he continue devious pursuits to wreck the stupendous

A
Sukkot and Surveying the Future of
American Jewish-lsrael Relations
By Irving Greenberg
Jerusalem—Sukkot, which starts
at sundown Monday, September 19,
is a perfect occasion to consider the
future connection between Israel and
Diaspora Jewry.
The holiday points to a profoundly
reciprocal relationship between the
two communities. It highlights an
irreducible connection between the
holiness of the people and that of the
land; thus is makes the land central.
Yet, by reminding us that the To-
rah was given and the nation formed
ou'side of Israel, it contradicts the
simple dismissal of the Diaspora as
a sideshow.
Many have argued that peace will
bring the end of American Jewry’s
overarching focus on the fate of the
Jewish state. With the Holocaust
now “ancient history," and its les-
sons no longer reinforced by threats
of a re-enactment, IsraeTs salience
will decline.
Predictions abound that the per-
centage of United Jewish Appeal
funds sent to Israel will continue to
shrink—a sign of the reduction of
Israel’s importance
Some people, arguing the need
for Jewish renewal, insist that only
an America-focused, Jewish reli-
gious culture can maintain Jewish
identity.
