By the early 1990s the weave of American Jewish life was experiencing irrevocable change. The campaign to free Soviet Jews was a success and commemorating the Holocaust was entrenched. Then the 1993 Israeli-PLO Olso Accords wreaked havoc on the traditional unified support for any Israeli government. Meanwhile,internal communal concerns included rising intermarriage, declining affiliation, and intensifying religious tensions. Broad-based membership groups declined, the influence of 'mega-donors' rose, and a sense of collectiveness waned. As the Oslo period crashed into the Second Intifada, American Jewish groups rushed to defend Israel, but found a smaller, less interested and more splinteredcommunity.
