The Impact of Hebrew School Education on Young Jewish American Opinion on Israel and Israel-Palestine

Zionism and Hebrew School

Hebrew School is an extremely important aspect of early Jewish education for many Jewish Americans, and neither its methods of teaching about Israel and the Israel-Palestine conflict, nor its impact on the opinions of young Jewish Americans’ views on these issues, have been thoroughly researched. The most significant study on this topic was completed by Louis Katzoff in 1949, in which he recorded the percentage of Sunday School teachers who emphasized specific ideas about Israel in their lessons.
