Establishment
As the Israeli government reflects its growing ultra-Orthodox

America. "For several decades," he says, "the Jewish establishment has
asked American Jews to check their liberalism at Zionism's door and now,
to their horror, they are finding that many young Jews have checked
their Zionism instead." The event was part of the 2010 Melbourne Writers
Festival.
