description A study of the Jewish identity of Israeli high school students was conducted in Spring 1974 by Herman and Farago. Eighty percent of the 1875 student in the countrywide sample declared themselves as Zionists. The Zionists expressed stronger Jewish and Israeli identity than the non-Zionists. The percentage of Zionists was higher among the religiously observant students than among the traditional and non-religious ones. However, on various indices of Jewish and Israeli identity, there was greater difference between Zionists and non-Zionists, among the non-religious students compared with the religious ones. This indicated stronger relationship between Zionism and the Jewish identity of the non-religious students than of the religious ones, whose Jewish identity is influenced mainly by religion. Indeed, correlations between Zionism and questions related to Jewish identity were found to be higher among the non-religious students than among the religious and traditional ones. The main hypothesis was that Zionism, which is an ideological variable, will be influenced by the centrality of Jewish and Israeli identities, which are deep-seated social-psychological variable, and that these three variables will be affected by the religious background of the students. These hypotheses were tested by means of "path analysis". The influences we predicted were indeed found, but they were lower than expected. It was also hypothesized that Zionism and other variables will affect relevant attitudes, such as immigration to (Aliya) and emigration from (Yerida) Israel. It was found that attitudes favoring immigration were influenced mainly by Jewish identity whereas opposition to emigration was affected mainly by Israeli identity. The effect of Zionism on both was, however, found to be negligible. It was concluded that while most Israeli youth now define themselves as Zionists, this definition has only little significance for them and has little effect on their attitudes which were assumed to be relevant to Zionism.
