State and Religion in Israel begins with a philosophical analysis
of the two main questions regarding the role of religion in liberal
states: should such states institute a 'Wall of Separation' between
state and religion? Should they offer religious practices and
religious communities special protection? Gideon Sapir and Daniel
Statman argue that liberalism in not committed to Separation, but
is committed to granting religion a unique protection, albeit a
narrower one than often assumed. They then use Israel as a case
study for their conclusions. Although Israel is defined as a Jewish
state, its Jewish identity need not be interpreted religiously,
requiring that it subjects itself to the dictates of Jewish law
(Halakha). The authors test this view by critically examining
important topics relevant to state and religion in Israel: marriage
and divorce, the drafting of yeshiva students into the army, the
character of the Sabbath and more.
