Secularism and Religion in Jewish-Israeli Politics

本書從這個傳統的框架中擺脫出來，考察了世俗主義和宗教在猶太社會和政治中的作用。

作者重點關注了三分之一以上猶太人和以色列人的“傳統主義者”（masortim），研究了以色列的宗教，傳統和世俗主義問題，為世俗化論題的理論提供了新的途徑和現代性，並探索這種身份更廣泛的影響。亞德加的結論具有重要的社會，文化和政治意義，不僅是對猶太 - 以色列身份學術話語的新貢獻，而且也是聽取以色列政治中心問題傳統立場的平台。

本書詳細研究了一個重要的猶太 - 以色列身份建構，不僅與以色列的猶太身份研究有關，而且與宗教、傳統、現代性和世俗化等更廣泛的社會理論問題有關。這本書將對以色列社會的學生以及任何正在研究猶太人身份，以色列民族主義和種族，以色列宗教和政治問題以及以色列社會問題的任何人感興趣。

Common discourse on Jewish identity in Israel is dominated by the view that Jewish Israelis can, and should, be either religious or secular. Moving away from this conventional framework, this book examines the role of secularism and religion in Jewish society and politics.

With a focus on the ‘traditionists’ (masortim) who comprise over a third of the Jewish-Israeli population, the author examines issues of religion, tradition and secularism in Israel, giving a fresh approach to the widening theoretical discussion regarding the thesis of secularisation and modernity and exploring the wider implications of this identity. Yadgar’s conclusions have significant social, cultural and political implications, serving not only as a new contribution to the academic discourse on Jewish-Israeli identity, but as a platform upon which traditionist positions on central issues of Israeli politics can be heard.

Offering a detailed investigation into a central and important Jewish-Israeli identity construct, the book is relevant not only to the study of Jewish identity in Israel but also within the wider social-theoretical issues of religion, tradition, modernity and secularization. The book will be of great interest to students of Israeli society and to anyone looking into the issues of Jewish identity, Israeli nationalism and ethnicity, religion and politics in Israel, and the sociology of religion.
