Israeli Relations with Diaspora Jewry in Danger

From Ynetnews:

“The public in Israel is not familiar enough with the patterns of life of its brothers across the world,” says Dr. Goldplem, head of the Center of Jewish Education in the Diaspora at the Lifshiz College. According to him, the Israeli public in general, and the religious youth in particular, believe that the patterns of life of Jews worldwide are very similar to their own.

“Many concepts, like Reform and Conservative Judaism, are unfamiliar to the religious youth from the angle of a Jews living abroad. For example, the legitimacy given to the Reform and Conservative public abroad is not understood by the religious youth, and so finding a common language between religious youth in Israel and religious youth abroad is nearly impossible.”

In my opinion, this is one is if the really big threats to Israel today.
