By 1946, with the return of Jewish American servicemen, a new optimism emerged. Jewish Americans supported the creation of Israel. By the turn of the century, many Jews begin experimenting with new spiritual practices. Today, they continue to weave themselves into the American life. The old issue of negotiating Jewish and American identities remains. (Yad Vashem)
