{"product_id":"law-and-identity-in-israel-nir-kedar-9781108484350","title":"Law and Identity in Israel: A Century of Debate","description":"What makes Israeli law Israeli? Why is the word 'Jewish' almost entirely absent from Israeli legislation? How did Israel succeed in eluding a futile and dangerous debate over identity, and construct a progressive, independent, original and sophisticated legal system? Law and Identity in Israel attempts to answer these questions by looking at the complex bond between Zionism and the Jewish culture. Forging an original and 'authentic' Israeli law that would be an expression and encapsulation of Israeli-Jewish identity has been the goal of many Jewish and Zionist jurists as well as public leaders for the past century. This book chronicles and analyzes these efforts, and in the process tackles the complex meaning of Judaism in modern times as a religion, a culture, and a nationality. Nir Kedar examines the challenges and difficulties of expressing Judaism, or transplanting it into, the laws of the state of Israel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nir Kedar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108484352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108484350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.38w x 0.67d","brand":"Nir Kedar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924106641663,"sku":"9781108484350","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3723a6c6-d4fa-4b54-bd36-85c87394f60d.jpg?v=1681068514","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/law-and-identity-in-israel-nir-kedar-9781108484350","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
