One of the few works which documents the institutional relationship between the Jewish communities of Israel and the U.S. The United Israel Appeal, one of the groups involved in the State's development, serves well as a mirror with which to reflect some of the more salient aspects of American Jewry's material contributions to the rise of the modern Jewish State.
