Here’s an interesting data point. Daniel Sieradski reports on a new study of Jewish millennials (18-35) and their volunteer/service work. Zionism is not mentioned in the full report.
Much of the volunteer work is local, as cited by nearly 80% of respondents, and focuses on efforts to ameliorate disparities in economic resources and educational opportunity. Indeed, as it relates to the focus of respondents’ primary volunteer work, the three most cited are material assistance to the needy, health care/medical research, and education/literacy. Conversely, only 1% of respondents cited Israel/Middle East Peace as the primary focus of their volunteer work.
