We stand divided: the rift between American Jews and Israel

The rift. Introduction: "Why can't we all just get along?" ; A mistaken conventional wisdom ; A rift older than the state itself

The causes. A particularist project in a universalist world ; Idealized Zion meets the messiness of history ; People or religion: who and what are the Jews? ; How naked a public square: a liberal or ethnic democracy

The future. Charting a shared future: and why that matters

Conclusion: "Forget your perfect offering."
