• W12584882 abstract "AbstractThis article analyzes active sources of continuing misalignment between the Jewish mainstream and the Israeli, Iranian and Russian-speaking Jewish colonies in America. These demographics maintain and enlarge their linguistic, cultural, religious and social autonomy away from the organized Jewish life in North America. To overcome this gap of irrelevance, the Jewish mainstream promotes 'Jewish education' and 'leadership development' programs directed at the second and third generations of 'ethnic' Jews. Such pull efforts require significant resources but are not likely to overcome the push away forces. Focusing on Russian-speaking Jews (RSJs) in the US, the article identifies major stumbling blocks of engagement, such as incorrect assumptions about the content of RSJs 'Jewishness', the unaddressed negative stereotypes, the asymmetry of 'needs', and the terms of joining the mainstream, whose worldviews and policies are often not shared by the 1st and 2nd generations of RSJs. The main obstacle to engagement by leadership development lies in the absence within these communities of trusted organizational structures necessary to establish 'parity' with the mainstream. To address disparity between the mainstream and its target populations, the article sketches an 'enabling model' of mutual engagement. A consistent and minimally intrusive investment into grass-root organizations and institutions within the ethnic Jewish communities is needed to produce truly effective leadership responsible to its constituency, capable of shaping the mainstream agenda and thus building a sense of mutual ownership of Jewish future in the United States.IntroductionIn the span of several decades three distinct Jewish populations have emerged in North America (the US and Canada): Russian-speaking Jews (RSJs), Iranian Jews, and American-Israelis.2 Linguistically and culturally different from the aboriginal Jewish population in the US3, these ethno-religious groups are growing fast but did not attain significance as an integral part of North-American Jewry. What seems to be the problem?There is an uneasy consensus that a 'disconnect' exists between these populations and the organized Jewish mainstream. This intuitively understood diagnosis needs definition. A 'disconnect' exists when Russian, Iranian, and Israel-born Jews define patterns of their communal behavior and engagement with Jewish life and Israel independently of the mainstream. The sources of this phenomenon may be different for each group, but their histories and world-views quite different from the aboriginal and the organized Jewish world remain a common factor.4The side-by-side existence of Israeli, Russian-speaking, and Iranian-Jewish enclaves with American Jews shows a remarkable consistency of internal cohesion, mutually negative perceptions, and areas of disconnect. Iranian Jews (Persians) in America keep low profile when it comes to Iran and Israel, so as not to jeopardize the 20,000 Jewish community, their relatives, and own economic interests in Iran.5 Thus, most Iranian Jews and their leadership voice opposition to a military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Described as torn between homelands6 and dispersed between the US, Canada and Europe, the Iranian-Jewish diaspora is unified by language, observance, traditions, food-culture, and music but, most importantly, by the sense of 'shared reality'' much different from that of their 'aboriginal' cousins. They develop cohesiveness through maintaining strong family ties, settling in dense geographical enclaves, and by collaboration and consultation between leaders on both coasts on domestic and Israeli political issues.7More observant than American Jews and better organized than Russian-speaking Jews, more charitable than Israeli diaspora, Iranian Jews would seem to fit perfectly the American-Jewish mainstream ideal, but in reality they do not. Just as the other ethno-Jewish groups they remain outsiders sharing well entrenched sense of mainstream 'irrelevancy8. …" @default.
