| Abstract
|
:
|
For nearly a century, teaching American Jewish students about Zionism and Israel—an endeavor now commonly referred to as “Israel education”—has been a challenge that reflects the evolving relationship between American Jewry and The Jewish State. Traditionally, American Jewish educators focused on a heroic, sometimes mythic narrative about the founding, growth, and strength of the State of Israel in modern times. However, Israel’s increasingly complex political and social realities have challenged this idealized view of the past, both in the United States and in Israel. Scholars, educators, and American Jewish communal leaders now recognize the need for a more realistic and nuanced educational approach that addresses Israel’s controversies and imperfections as well.
