Synopsis
Israel describes itself as a modern "Jewish and democratic" state. In this memoir, woven with personal stories, Israeli writer Ofra Yeshua-Lyth describes how "Jewish" and "democratic" are two irreconcilable concepts. The founders of this state meticulously upheld one core element of the Jewish orthodoxy: ethnic and religious self-segregation. They thus created a political entity with on alarming emphasis on Jewish supremacy. Israeli citizens are branded according to their ethnicity and their religion. This branding determines their access to (or denial of) vital privileges. Out of loyalty to the "Jewish State" concept, the Israeli elites-mainly with Eastern European roots-have left matters of birth and death; marriage and divorce; education; and even issues related to the military, in the hands of the orthodox Jewish establishment. Riddled with animosities and fears, armed to its teeth, Israeli Jewish society, a patriarchal culture with male circumcision as its formatting ritual, continues to nurture its false narratives of victimology and self-righteousness. Book jacket., An eye-opening memoir on the struggle between religion and domocracy in Israel. Israel claims to be a modern democratic state, but Israeli writer Ofra Yeshua-Lyth reveals some startling truths about modern day Israel: how although up to 70% of Israelis do not follow the Jewish religion, all citizens are subject to laws designed to favor religious Israelis over all others. In matters of birth and death; marriage and divorce; finance and the military, Israel's rabbis exercise iron control over their government. Yeshua-Lyth sees the seeds of Israel's demise in the growing tension between Israelis who want to lead modern secular lives, and those who wish Israel to continue in the iron grip of the rabbis. The author's arguments are woven through the story of her childhood and later life in Israel, illustrating the conflicts between modern democracy and an outdated theocracy in everyday life.
