Yeah, I was predominantly referring to US based jews...though I am not aware of their being "practicing" in their religion, I am sure a lot of them are pretty active in promoting the causes of jews and israel...through chance I had ended up cross-referencing some jewish news sources which were praising their influential people across the world who regularly visit and contribute to israel and quite a lot of them were there... nevertheless, the curiosity is about the influences, causes etc...if at all its worth discussing
