07/02/2010 - New book: ‘Traditional Jews in Israel: Modernity Without Secularization’ by Yaakov Yadgar The book reveals the character of the mesoratim as a modern identity structure that holds a fruitful dialogue, both critical and respectful, with the Jewish tradition, instead of either negating tradition or modernity 14/01/2010 - New book: ‘A Double-Edged Sword’ Dr. Elie Holzer’s new book examines the attitude toward national military activism as it is expressed in the writings of thinkers, rabbis and public figures within the religious Zionist community and describes its development since the beginning of nationalist Zionism until the Disengagement in 2005 and events in Amona in 2006. Holzer’s research explains how Religious Zionism changed from being a staunch opponent to the use of military force to being a fervent supporter of the military ethos and describes the new trends in interpretation in the Religious Zionist camp as a result of the tension between the ideology that sanctifies the military and the fact that the IDF is subject to policy decisions that involve the evacuation of settlements 10/01/2010 - New Havruta article online: ‘Of What Use is a Candle in Broad Daylight?’ The Reinvention of a Myth By Melila Hellner-Eshed Has the sun always been large and dazzling and the moon smaller, waxing and waning each month?
