"But I want it to become a country of in- dividuals and capitalism, and then I would move back there and start a business. "The difference between the generations is that I don't have blind faith in whatever Israel does," Mr. Baker said. "Sometimes, with older generations, Israel becomes a substitute for religion." Although the cause of sup- porting Israel politically and philanthropically has long been the centerpiece of Jew- ish organizational life, observers in the last few years have come to question whether American Jews are becoming less enthusiastic about support for Israel. The study reveals that many more older individuals have visited Israel than younger people, and that younger Jews — particularly those who have never trav- eled to Israel — express more feelings of distance. Other findings from the study, part of the population survey conducted by a ran- dom sampling of 1,100 Detroiters in November 1989, show: • More than two out of five Detroit adults have been to Israel, a proportion slightly above the national average, thought to be one in three. • One-fifth of Detroit adults have visited Israel twice, a sign associated with a much deeper commitment to Israel than the one-time visit. • Many more older in- dividuals have visited Israel than younger generations. Of those 70 and older, 53 percent have been to Israel. Of those 50 through 69, 55 percent have visited Israel. Of those 35 to 49, 38 percent have visited Israel. And of those under 35, 32 percent have been to Israel. • Income is an issue. Travel increases among those with more money. • Religious affiliation is a factor. Three fourths of the Orthodox, two thirds of Con- servative synagogue mem- bers and over 40 percent of Reform or "other" temple members have been to Israel. "Israel travel increases with denominational tradi- tionalism," Drs. Cohen and Ukeles wrote. "Synagogue and temple members, in part because they are more in- volved in Jewish life, have been to Israel more often than non-members."
