In Israel's Higher Law, Steven V. Mazie draws on the voices of
Israeli citizens to shed new light on the relationship between
liberal democracy and religion. By analyzing Israelis' perspectives
on a number of divisive issues-including Jewish state symbols,
marriage law, public Sabbath observance and funding for religious
education-Mazie identifies a rift between Israeli and American
understandings of "separation of religion and state" and a gulf
between Jewish and Arab citizens' visions for Israel's
religion-state arrangement. Mazie's compelling study offers more
valuable insight into these dilemmas than any publication to date
and proposes new guidelines for resolving them. Israel's Higher Law
is the definitive work on the tensions between religion and
democracy in Israel. It is a must-read for anyone interested in
politics and Jewish studies.
