Every year, we end the Passover seder saying, "Next year in Jerusalem,"

in the hope that we all, as a Jewish people, should end up in Israel. For

most Diaspora Jews, this is merely a rhetorical statement. But that does

not mean they are lesser members of the tribe.

This year, in Jerusalem, hundreds of young North American Jewish

students currently living in Israel – from gap-year and study-abroad

programs, yeshivas and rabbinical schools, and Jewish organizations from

across the political spectrum – gathered at the third annual Avi Schaefer

Symposium to discuss the challenges of maintaining the Jewish and

A.B. Yehoshua: Americans, unlike Israelis,

democratic character of the State of Israel.

A.B. Yehoshua, Anat Hoffman, Dr. Yoram Hazony and Rabbi Shai Held,

among other speakers, confronted complex questions about Israel’s status

as a Jewish and democratic state, Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians,

and Israel’s state monopoly of religion, in an event held in honor of the

memory of Avi Schaefer, an Israel Defense Forces veteran and Brown

University student killed by a drunk driver in Providence, Rhode Island in

2010.

While these questions may be familiar to Israelis, they

are increasingly difficult for North American Jews to

digest. They demand serious engagement and rigorous

intellectual debate in the open marketplace of ideas.

Ignoring these important issues, or trying to massage

them away with one-dimensional hasbara (public

diplomacy) or the honeymoon experience of a 10-day

Birthright trip, are no longer sufficient to help young

Jews from the Diaspora wrestle with the difficult and

multifaceted reality in Israel today.

No amount of reciting facts about Israel's high-tech

success or gay-rights record will inspire Jewish

students who are concerned about Israeli policy to

support a state that some feel is becoming morally

indefensible. Nor will it prepare them to participate in

the difficult and heated debates over Israel taking

place on many college campuses today, which, in

recent years, have become hotbeds of anti-Israel

scholarship and organizing.

Indeed, this new generation is distancing itself from

Israel. Its disengagement is real and significant, while

the reasons for why it’s happening are complex and

multifaceted.

Many young American Jews have become disillusioned

and alienated by the continuing occupation, the

stalemate in peace talks with the Palestinians and

Israel's internal political swing to the right. For them,

the current reality inIsrael presents a significant

challenge to the image of Israel they grew up with and

to the relationship they will maintain with Israel when

they return to North America as university students

and Jewish professionals.

Securing the support of this new generation—their

continued political advocacy, donations, human capital and enthusiasm—

is critical. Make no mistake: The future of the North American Jewish

community and of the State of Israel are contingent upon securing the

involvement and support of young Jews who can engage in critical

conversations about Israel with confidence and conviction. As Anat

Hoffman put it, “Israel is too important to leave to the Israelis.”

A state will only endure, it will only remain relevant—to both Israelis and

to Jews around the world—if it can be defended not only militarily but also

morally, not just by our parents’ generation but by our generation as well.

This new generation of socially and politically progressive North

American Jews demands a new paradigm for relating to Israel. For them,

being committed to Israel compels them to speak out against policies that

they see as morally indefensible (i.e. settlements and occupation) and that

only serve to undermine Israel’s own strategic goals. Supporting Israel for

them means working to make Israel a country that truly embodies its

founding values and ideals.

The Jewish community, both in Israel and in North America, must

actively work to engage this growing demographic. By promoting a more

nuanced and open conversation about Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian

conflict, the Jewish community will encourage them to build a

sophisticated and authentic relationship with Israel that embraces not

only Israel’s accomplishments but its faults as well.

We must empower this younger generation, one that is trying to make

sense of their Jewish identity in the face of the complex reality in Israel

today, and not to push them away. Israel education and advocacy must

move beyond discussing only the establishment of the state and focus

more on the development and betterment of the state.

To that end, we must fashion a new vision of Zionism with which these

young Jews can identity— not one defined solely by the Law of Return, as

keynote speaker A.B. Yehoshua suggested, or by the size of the land, but

by the characteristics of the people living in it and the values to which it

holds itself accountable.

Zionism must now turn inward and become an inclusive movement to

build a flourishing, vibrant state at peace with its neighbors.

This vision—of a Jewish national project driven by Jews around the world,

that sees world Jewry as equal partners in a symbiotic relationship of

mutual-respect; of a state that upholds the values of religious pluralism

and tolerance; of a state that is more imaginative in its attempts to foster a

Jewish spiritual and cultural renaissance; and of a state that actively

pursues peace—is the only way to ensure the continued relevance of

Zionism and the State of Israel to a new generation of Diaspora Jews.

Many who attended the Avi Schaefer Symposium will celebrate Passover

this year in Jerusalem but next year in the Diaspora. As a community, we

need to ensure they remain just as active and invested and that their

contributions are equally valued. The future of Israel depends on it.
