Since its creation, in 1948, the modern-day State of Israel, for purposes of defence as well as development, has functioned as a highly centralized organism. Not least amongst its concerns has been language: the language of its citizens; the language of its self-descriptions. Established by government statute rather than arising out of local demand, they were largely financed from the national development budget. Since, they have been remote-controlled by competing and politically partisan Government ministries, and their local functionaries, more in accordance with heterogeneous external conceptions and policies than with internal conditions. In the States, Judaism was something Rachel had hankered after. Because she felt deprived of it. Estranged from many Israelis, they each emphasize their Americanness and find new salience in the American values of pluralism and efficiency. It was not long after their arrival in Mitzpe Ramon that both chose to institutionalize these formal similarities.
