The Six-Day War had a profound
effect on Them."
While : the feelings of similarity
may have decreased, "their inter-
dependence has grown and been
sharpened by the Six-Day War."
The memory Of the Holocanst
too, has heightened the young
Israeli's awareness of his links
with the Diaspora: • "Most- do see
themselves as _survivors. You can't
see the Jewish identity in our time

caust."' it determines, said Dr.

Dr. - Herman pointed out • that
Jewish identity exists nowhere
in isolation. The American Jew's
identity is related to his Am-
ericanism as well as to his Jew-
ishness. "One of the most im-
portant-things to understand is
the large measure of overlap be-
tween being a Jew and being
Israeli," he said. "Being a Jew
in Israel is much more per t
vasive than being a Jew in
America."
Most respondents to his study
saw the overlap and compatibility
between Jew and Israeli, said Dr.
Herman. "But among the Ameri-
can students, the majority saw no
connection between feeling Jewish
and feeling American." The Ortho-
dox students, in Israel, he added,
saw almost a complete overlap
between Jewishness and Israeli-
ness. He concluded that a weak-
