spiritual traditions. The
question now beginning to
be explored is what Ameri-
cans of diverse religions and
ethnic backgrounds mean
when they speak about "the
Holy Land."
To explore such a ques-
tion, a special research
project in America-Holy
Land studies was started
four years ago jointly by
the society and the Insti-
tute of Contemporary Je-
wry of the Hebrew Univer-
sity. The two groups,
together with the National
Archives, recently spon-
sored a two-day gathering
in Washington to spiur a
major research effort into
what the society called a
long-neglected field of
study.
