Gordis notes Israel is "part of a much larger picture. The 20th century wasn't great for the Jews. I don't think that Israel advocacy can be the core of Jewish identity, but you do need a profound connection to the Jewish state. What's Jewishness all about, culturally? What's the value of Jewish life in the culture of the world? What does Judaism have to say? When you care about the flourishing of the Jewish people, then you care about Israel."
