(Jewish Group) Israeli and American Jews know little about each other, new study finds
American and Israeli Jews don’t know much about one another, according to a study released Monday.
Still, both groups expressed an affinity for the other in the poll by the American Jewish Committee.
Among American Jews, a total of 40% said their knowledge of Israelis was either nonexistent or weak, and another 21% ranked their knowledge of Israelis as medium, while 37% said they received a “strong” education about Israel.
Among Israeli Jews, a total of 69% said they did not receive any education about Diaspora Jews or it was “not comprehensive,” while 20% said it was “so-so” and 11% said it was comprehensive.
