Description

Since the founding of the Zionist movement until today, the question of the relationship between “church” and state in Israel remains unresolved, resulting in a continuous legal and social conflict among Israelis. The tension that arises from Judaism acting not only as a religion and culture but also as a national entity constitutionally underpinning an entire state—resulting in the “Jewish and democratic state” of Israel—manifests in major aspects of daily life for Israelis, such as marriage and divorce, conversion, and Shabbat. This book presents a crucial piece of scholarship in understanding the history and current dynamics of the relation between state and religion in Israel, and, in doing so, provides a unique perspective on the future potential solutions to this social rift.

Author Biography:

Dr. Shuki Friedman, qualified rabbinate, jurist, and expert in constitutional and Muslim law, serves as Vice President of the Jewish People's Policy Institute and is a law lecturer at the Peres Academic Center. Friedman is also an expert on the ultra-orthodox community and its relations with Israeli society. He has worked in Israel’s Prime Minister's office and led policy changes pertaining to the relationship between religion and state in Israel and the integration of the ultra-orthodox community into Israeli society, topics on which he has also published various studies and articles. Recently, he has also published his first book of prose.
