However, as this thoughtful new book by 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. This book makes an important and timely contribution to the study of contemporary Israeli society, as new alliances are being forged in the political arena"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000887903 650_0 $$aJudaism$$zIsrael. 000887903 650_0 $$aJudaism and state$$zIsrael. 000887903 650_0 $$aSecularism$$zIsrael. 000887903 650_0 $$aJews$$zIsrael$$xIdentity. 000887903 651_0 $$aIsrael$$xPolitics and government. 000887903 852__ $$bebk 000887903 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1099831$$zOnline Access 000887903 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:887903$$pGLOBAL_SET 000887903 980__ $$aEBOOK 000887903 980__ $$aBIB 000887903 982__ $$aEbook 000887903 983__ $$aOnline
