Author Description

The Jewish Diaspora, also called the Gulla (Gullut), has been a central reality to the Jewish people from ancient times to the present. As a result, relations between the Jewish Diaspora and Eretz Israel, or the state of Israel, has remained a major concern. The papers in Eretz Israel, Israel and the Diaspora address that issue. They have been gathered from the first (1988) annual symposium of Creighton University's Philip M. and Ethel Klutznick Chair in Jewish Civilization.
