Delving into Israel's multifaceted society, editors Avi Sagi and Ohad
Nachtomy, along with their distinguished contributors, explore the many
ethnic and religious communities that comprise modern Israel and the
ways in which they interact and often misunderstand each other.
Detailing both the tensions between Israelis and Arab minorities, as
well as issues involving recent immigrants and the different religious
sects within the Jewish community at large, this collection of essays
covers diverse subjects such as Holocaust education, language rights,
military service, and the balancing of religious with secular systems of
law. An essential read for anyone searching for a better understanding
of the challenges being faced in contemporary Israel.
