Love to see how this blog entry ends, Noam, and what you argue in the LBI article. It trails off.

Thanks

Comment on Rethinking the History of Jewish Nationalism Symposium, UCLA by Noam Pianko

Hi Michael, This conference takes place next January 2011. So, no papers available yet. I am not organizing the conference, so I am not sure about what will be available. The material I will present comes from my book, Zionism and the Roads not Taken:Rawidowicz, Kaplan, Kohn. So, feel free to take a look at the book if you want a sneak preview of at least one presentation.

You can direct specific questions about the conference to the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies.

Comment on A Wakeup Call for Israel-American Jewish Relations by Ezra Kopelowitz

Noam,

I find your approach sophisticated and interesting. I’ve been developing a similar approach to Israel Diaspora relations, which like yours looks at these issues from a broader perspective of community building and Peoplehood today. You might find this report on the “Best Practices of Peoplehood organizations of interest”: http://www.nadavfund.org.il/events/?prId=68

The only point that I’m not entirely comfortable with is your tendency to speak of “The State of Israel”. I don’t disagree with your main point but think it might be more productive to place more emphasis on the multi-faceted nature of Israeli life and to encourage American Jews to pick their partners and develop a stake and opinion about where they stand and a commitment to act; which, is I think you point about Israel education, not advocacy.
