description: First Origins of the American-Israeli Connection is a book about several American Jews who directed major Zionist projects in pre-state Israel, or who actually settled in the country.In the course of their life and work, they constantly assessed the cornerstone concepts of the Jewish-state-in-the-making in the light of their own American sensibilities. They struggled continually to forge new opportunities and empowering new formulas, even as they became aware of unalterable differences between American Jews and proto-Israeli pioneers.
