Abstract:
Seventy years of Israeli statehood offer an opportunity to assess what major continuities and discontinuities, convergences and divergences, conflicts and reconciliations have emerged in the complex and unique human aggregate that I will address here as the Jewish people. As the title of this chapter suggests, do the Jews constitute one people or two? Or maybe more? Or none? Differently formulated, is contemporary Jewish peoplehood better characterized as one center in Israel surrounded by a diaspora of other Jewish communities worldwide? Or as multiple, competing centers? Or as a centerless, transnational galaxy?
