During the 75 years after the creation of the State of Israel, Zionists in the United States achieved hegemony in American Jewry and served as a pillar of support for Israel. American Zionism was a major branch of a transnational religious-national movement that navigated international affairs and the challenges of Jewish life in the USA while continually negotiating the terms of its fidelity to an overseas state. This presentation explains that negotiation by examining themes and events in US Zionism鈥檚 history after 1948 in national, transnational, and international contexts.
