My Brother’s Keeper?: The Complicated Relationship Between American Jews and Israel

The relationship between the world’s two largest Jewish tribes (in Israel and the United States) is consequential for Jews and for Judaism, but it provides important insights also for Christians – about Jews, Judaism, and Israel, and about America and Christianity. The cultural, sociological, political, and even religious differences that separate Israeli and American Jews highlight the essence of historic and contemporary Judaism. Christian revival always pointed to the Jewish roots of Christianity and of the Christian Bible. Indeed, by gaining a better understanding of Judaism, Christians gain a bette understanding of their own faith and of America’s Judeo-Christian values.

This book answers the following questions:

-Is Judaism a religion or a nation?

-Why are American Jews ambivalent about Israel, whereas Christians support Israel without hesitation?

-Why are American Jews losing touch with Judaism, whereas Christians are connecting with their own Jewish roots?

-Why are most American Jews liberal-Democrats, whereas most Israelis are conservative?

-Why is antisemitism flourishing on the left?

-Why is American Jewry demographically stagnant, while Israeli Jewry grows by leaps and bounds?

-What is the future of American Jewry and its relationship with Israel?
