Religion and State in Israel
Past and Future Challenges
Series:
Author:
In this book, Prof. Gideon Sapir concisely reviews the history of the relationship between religion and state in Israel. He discusses, among other things, the rise and fall of the famous "status quo" in this field, and examines key issues from social, political, and legal perspectives. Sapir points out that the map of challenges in the field of religion-state relations has changed its face over the past two decades and argues that the main challenge in Israel in this field today is finding a way to integrate the ultra-Orthodox public into the countryâs various circles of life.
Gideon Sapir is a professor of law at Bar-Ilan University. His most recent books in English are: The Israeli Constitution: From Evolution to Revolution (Oxford, 2018); State and Religion in Israel: Philosophical-Legal Inquiry (Cambridge, 2019) (with Daniel Statman).
