In some regards, many Americans, in particular in the heartland and in the South, have a similar attitude towards Judaism that Israelis have: Both have developed a lack of fondness on some level to the “Diaspora Jew” (Judaism 2.0). While at the same time, both groups have an absolute admiration for the “Israeli Jew” – the one who fulfills the dream, who returned to his long-forsaken home, who unlike the “Diaspora Jew” is strong, daring, assertive, direct and bold (Judaism 3.0).
