Conservative Judaism's struggle to gain traction in Israel reveals a stark disconnect between American pluralistic values and Israeli religious realities. Through analysis of Michael Graetz's policy proposals for the Masorti movement and comparative examination of American-Israeli Jewish contexts, this research uncovers why Conservative Judaism remains marginalized in Israeli society. The movement's minimal footprint—just 2,400 families across thirty congregations—consists largely of first-generation Anglo-Saxon immigrants whose children frequently abandon Conservative religious commitment. Organizational challenges compound this weakness: within Israel's Rabbinical Assembly, fewer than twenty-five percent of the hundred listed members actively participate in substantive discussions, while crucial decisions fall to small voting minorities. The movement's recent controversial decision to perform marriages in defiance of Israeli law exemplifies a fundamental misunderstanding of Israeli religious dynamics. Rather than pursuing ritual services or institutional challenges to Orthodox authority, Conservative Judaism's viable future in Israel depends on developing a comprehensive religious-national ideology grounded in Jewish nationalism and commitment to klal yisrael—an approach that could meaningfully contribute to Israel's spiritual and national development instead of perpetuating diaspora-oriented strategies ill-suited to the Jewish state.
