Relationship With Jewish Americans
Israeli Americans are generally seen as having less interaction with the Jewish American (non-Israeli) community and its institutions, often preferring to maintain ties of association with other Israeli Americans. In return, Jewish Americans, especially religious Jewish Americans, tend to maintain little contact with the Israeli American community besides participation in religious ceremonies. In particular, religious American Jews view "yordim" as being the antithesis of the Jewish people's "eternal hope" of return and permanent settlement in Israel.
