- 요약In this dissertation, I explore the case of Israeli expatriate families in the United States as they seek out heritage language maintenance practices that accord with their family's values, needs, and desired linguistic and identity outcomes for their children abroad. The case of Israeli-Americans and Hebrew language maintenance sheds light on a diverse and evolving heritage language ecosystem. Unlike other immigrant communities who lean on more established co-nationals for heritage language immersion and education, Hebrew-speaking Israeli-American families often enter a Hebrew educational landscape that was largely designed by and for American Jews. While nonIsraeli American Jews generally use the language in religiously-encoded contexts, Israeli Hebrew speakers generally use the language as a vernacular. The three articles address different aspects of a family's language and identity maintenance trajectory: (1) how families assess their own Hebrew maintenance needs, (2) how secular-identifying families navigate a religiously-entangled Hebrew learning landscape, and (3) how families emerge from home-internal to home-external Hebrew-immersive opportunities as children age.Early research on this community, from the late 1980's through the early 2010's, focuses heavily on the ways in which new waves of Israeli immigrants to the United States acclimate into their American environs and create institutions and affinity spaces (both social and professional) to create a sense of home abroad. Yet little work has been done on the increasing permanence of these expatriates and their families, and how they navigate child-rearing and identity maintenance in a long-ranging way. In Article I, I delve into the case of a cadre of Israeli-American parents in Greater Los Angeles whowere involved in advocacy for Hebrew language courses in local public high schools. I ask how these parents understand the purpose of Hebrew learning for their children and how their attitudes about local Jewish life inform the utility of extant Hebrew language programming. I argue that as these parents articulate their particularistic Hebrew learning needs, specifically around maintaining an Israeli variety of Hebrew, they recast themselves as discerning consumers of Hebrew language education in a landscape that expects that Israeli-background individuals to be the producers of Hebrew education abroad.Scholarship from the early aughts argued that secular-identifying Israeli expatriates tend to avoid American Jewish communal institutions for the first decade of their tenure abroad. However, as Israeli-American parents seek out Hebrew resources for their children, they often interface with and lean on Jewish educational institutions for Hebrew instruction, regardless of apprehension towards religious content. To understand how this plays out, I conducted a qualitative study of Israeli expatriate parents and key informants in the San Francisco Bay Area, paired with ethnographic observations of local events and gatherings. In Article II, I ask how Israeli parents approach Hebrew language acquisition in the United States, especially as many Hebrew learning opportunities for children are offered in Jewish religious contexts. Based on thematic codebook analysis of interviews and ethnographic fieldnotes, I found that parents experiment with a range of Jewish educational institutions as they develop a sense of what culturally-relevant resources these institutions might offer their children. Lacking access to the Hebrew and secular Jewish education of their homeland, parents often set aside past negative views of religious institutions to immerse their children in Hebrew-rich environments.
