This book analyzes American Jewish millennials and explains their behavior in terms of the history of American Jewishness. The author shows that Zionism serves as a means by which American Jewish millennials department from earlier American Judaism and construct alternate sense of purpose and solidarity.
Through a qualitative analysis and broad historical contextualization of personal interviews, The New Zionists shows how American Jewish “Millennials” who are not religiously orthodox approach Israel and Zionism as galvanizing solutions to the thinning of American Jewish identity, and (re)root themselves through “Israeliness”—an unselfconscious and largely secular expression of national kinship and solidarity, as well as of personal and communal purpose, that American Judaism scarcely provides.
