Mittelberg analyzes the effect of the Israel visit/experience
upon the ethnic identity of American Jews. For most American Jews,
being Jewish carries both religious and ethnic connotations. It is
because of this dual context that the Israel visit has a different
significance for American Jews when compared to visits of members
of other ethnic groups back to their homelands. As Mittelberg
argues, the relationship of American Jews to Israel is bound up in
the broader concept of peoplehood, a notion that encompasses a
shared sense of religion, nationality, language, culture, and
history.
Approximately one-third of the American Jewish population has
visited Israel. Using a variety of survey data, Mittelberg examines
the impact such visits have had on American Jews in terms of their
affinity with Israel as well as their bonds to the American Jewish
community.
