Arnold Dashefsky, born in 1942, is a professor at the University of Connecticut who has written several books on the topics relating to Jewish ethnicity, culture, ideologies, among others. One of his key theses is that Jewish identify is taken for granted in populations, such as Israel where Jews make up a majority of the population. Furthermore, he has asserted that the Jewry of the United States is roughly the same as the number of Jews in Israel. Hence, he feels that Jewish identity should be no less strong in either nation and their contributions to 9/11 are equal.
