Halakha and the Challenge of Israeli Sovereignty examines the
issues surrounding national, political, and religious sovereignty
from the vantage point of halakha and its evolution. The work
analyzes the efforts of the interpretative communities who adhered
to halakha-the rabbinical authorities-as well as other groups who
endeavored to help or to change it: the Jewish jurists in Eretz
Israel who sought to integrate sections of halakha into the Jewish
collective; and the religious academics who wanted more meaningful
recognition of halakha in non-halakhic values. The assessment
extends from the beginning of the Jewish national movement in the
last two decades of the 19th century to the first two decades of
the State of Israel, when weighty problems arose that required a
halakhic response to the challenge of sovereignty. In this, the
volume sheds light on the pliable nature of the concept of halakha,
particularly in conjunction with its application to the notion of
sovereignty.
