Abstract The concept of Mamlakhtiyut, defined by Bareli and Kedar as the Israeli version of republicanism, has shaped Israeli political system and civil culture from the 1950s onward. This article examines how this inter-Israeli concept affected David Ben-Gurion’s inter-Jewish policy toward the Jews of the Diaspora during the constructive era of the first year of statehood. The discussion focuses on the journey of Ben-Gurion to the USA during the spring of 1951 and the launching of the Bonds campaign as an alternative Israeli fundraising tool. The study of the journey’s context and a deep analysis of Ben-Gurion’s speeches during the journey demonstrate the importance of the Mamlakhti approach in the setting of Israel–Diaspora relations. I argue that the Mamlakhti-republican discourse was needed by both sides to deepen the relationship during the 1950s, point its deep influence on both policy and discourse, and suggest that today too it may foster the discourse and reframe some of the fundamental subjects that divide Israel from the Diaspora.

来自大洋彼岸的 Mamlakhtiyut：本古里安和美国犹太人社区

摘要 巴雷利和凯达尔将马姆拉赫蒂尤特的概念定义为以色列版的共和主义，从 1950 年代开始塑造了以色列的政治制度和公民文化。本文探讨了在建国第一年的建设性时代，这个以色列内部的概念如何影响大卫·本-古里安对散居犹太人的犹太人间政策。讨论的重点是 1951 年春天 Ben-Gurion 前往美国的旅程，以及作为替代以色列筹款工具的债券运动的发起。对旅程背景的研究和对本-古里安在旅程中的演讲的深入分析证明了马姆拉赫蒂方法在以色列与侨民关系中的重要性。
