Between State and Synagogue: The Secularization of Contemporary Israel (Cambridge Middle East Studies, Series Number 42) - Softcover
Book 30 of 51: Cambridge Middle East Studies
Synopsis
A thriving, yet small, liberal component in Israeli society has frequently taken issue with the constraints imposed by religious orthodoxy, largely with limited success. However, Guy Ben-Porat suggests, in recent years, in part because of demographic changes and in part because of the influence of an increasingly consumer-oriented society, dramatic changes have occurred in secularization of significant parts of public and private lives. Even though these fissures often have more to do with lifestyle choices and economics than with political or religious ideology, the demands and choices of a secular public and a burgeoning religious presence in the government are becoming ever more difficult to reconcile. The evidence, which the author has accrued from numerous interviews and a detailed survey, is nowhere more telling than in areas that demand religious sanction such as marriage, burial, the sale of pork, and the operation of businesses on the Sabbath.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Good. Ex-university library with reinforced covers. Author explored how the wave of Russian immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union, Israel's incorporation into economic globalization and the growth of a consumer society have created new spaces for secularization in the Jewish state which, paradoxically, is both religious and secular. Unfortunately, since publication in 2013, the religious right have gained immense power in politics, seeking further political gains and encouraging Palestinian backlash as seen in October 7, 2023 and its Gaza fallout. 258 pages. Quoted postage for UK 2nd class. Overseas at least £6.60. Seller Inventory # 5540
