Inside the Judicial Overhaul: The Threat of Jewish Fundamentalism

Over the past two decades Israel has witnessed a significant growth in Jewish fundamentalism. These groups share the goal of transforming Israel into a theocracy, and for the first time, this movement is backed by politicians in the highest echelons of the Israeli government.

Join Sources editor Claire Sufrin for an interview with Tomer Persico, author of  ‘A Natural Act of Vengeance’: Settler Violence and Two Types of Jewish Fundamentalism from the Fall 2023 issue of Sources: A Journal of Jewish Ideas, for a conversation about this growing phenomenon and its connection to the attempted judicial overhaul.  

This program is part of Ideas for Today, curated courses by Hartman Institute scholars on the big Jewish ideas we need to think better and do better.
