A psychohistorian based in New York, Gonen looks at the appearance and reappearance of some of the most prominent shared themes that conditioned Jewish expectations from history. His basic theory is that though parental conduct and child-rearing modes are important, people are more influenced by the historically overriding cultural factor of group belongingness, and that is why Jews from diverse countries used to share the conviction that they had been exiled from their land because of their sins.
