In RABBIS IN POLITICS Dr. Eliav Taub addresses how Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and Rabbi Elazar Shach, (the “Torah Giants” and Rabbinic leaders who shaped today’s political and religious institutions) achieved their stature and maintained their positions. The book explores how these ultra-Orthodox leaders were able to break through typical stereotypes, and become major national political influences in today’s modern arena. It also reveals how these two Torah Giants, successfully built their personal authority. Rav Shach and Rav Yosef fashioned a new leadership style, which allowed them to create revolutionary political parties never seen before In Israeli Politics.

Is there an Israeli nation? How is it related to the historical “Jewish People”? How is it related to the Zionist movement? Under what conditions could non-Jews become equal members of this nation? These and other questions stand at the center of the Moshe Berent’s “A Nation Like All Nations: Towards the Establishment of an Israeli Republic”. The mission of the Zionist movement was to work toward the normalization of Jewish existence: to become “a nation like all nations.” Israel, contrary to that aspiration, is not a normal nation-state, since according to the formal national ethos it belongs to the “Jewish people” and there is no recognized Israeli nation. Dr. Berent asserts that the fusion of nationality and religion, together with the absence of a normal nation-state are the source of Israel’s basic problems and are responsible for Israel’s powerlessness to solve problems – i.e. the status of religion in public life; The relations between seculars and religious; the status of non-Jews, especially Arabs; the absence of a constitution; the inability to agree about borders, or to decide about peace and war.
