About this title

Synopsis

Giving voice to the plurality of Israeli opinion, Jewish Identity in Modern Israel is a collection of articles based on conferences held by the Framework for Contemporary Jewish Thought and Identity at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. The contributors come from both Arab and Jewish backgrounds and include authors, educators, members of the Israeli Knesset, and rabbis. Among the subjects they address are being an Arab citizen in a Jewish state, teaching Judaism to secular Jews, Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, and the integration of state and religious law. Published for the first time in English, these articles offer readers the opportunity to grapple with some of the fundamental problems of Israeli identity and citizenship, with the aim of revitalizing Jewish thought and extending dialogue beyond the borders of Israel.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
