  • Leviathan Jewish Journal Is an Open Medium Through Which Jewish Students and Their Allies May Freely Express Their Opinions
    Spring 2012 Vol. 39-3 LeviathanJewish Journal Jewish Journal Statement of Intent Leviathan Jewish Journal is an open medium through which Jewish students and their allies may freely express their opinions. We are commited to responsibly representing the views of each individual author. Every quarter we aim to publish a full and balanced spectrum of media exploring Jewish identity and social issues. The opinions presented in this journal do not always represent the collective opinion of Leviathan’s staff, the organized Jewish community, or the University of California. Editor-in-Chief Art Director Aaron Giannini Karin Gold Production Manager Publisher Karin Gold Shani Chabansky Managing Editor Faculty Sponsor Savyonne Steindler Bruce Thompson Business Manager Contributors Karina Garcia Hanna Broad Shelby Backman Web Manager Sophia Smith Oren Gotesman Andrew Dunnigan Gabi Kirk Additonal Staff Members Anisha Mauze David Lee Amrit Sidhu Ephraim Margolin Allison Carlisle Jennine Grasso Matthew Davis Cover Art Karin Gold Letter From the Editor After a hectic and controversial year, the Leviathan Staff thought it would be beneficial to revisit the subject of what it means to be Jewish in today’s world. This is in no way a simple question, as the diversity of the Jewish people speaks to the fluid- ity of our identity. Are we the culmination of our history, inheriting monotheism through our holy lineage? Or are we just fingerprints, products of our ever-changing environment, blips on the cosmic stage? Are we grounded in our past, or is it our obligation to live in the present and look towards the future? We did not decide on our cover image this quarter without much deliberation.

  • The Role of Religious Considerations in the Discussion of Women's Combat Service—The Case Of
    religions Article The Pink Tank in the Room: The Role of Religious Considerations in the Discussion of Women’s Combat Service—The Case of the Israel Defense Forces Elisheva Rosman Department of Political Studies, Bar Ilan University, Ramat Gan 5290002, Israel; [email protected] Received: 5 October 2020; Accepted: 21 October 2020; Published: 27 October 2020 Abstract: Women serve in diverse roles in the 21st century militaries of the world. They are no longer banned from combat. The presence of women on the battlefield has raised religious arguments and considerations. What role do religious arguments play in the discussion regarding women’s military service? Using media, internal publications, as well as academic articles, the current paper examined this question in the context of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF): a conscription-based military that conscripts both men and women, religious and secular, for both combat and noncombat postings. Using the case of the pilot program in the IDF attempting to integrate women in the Israeli tank corps, as well as gauging the way religious men view this change, the paper argues that religious considerations serve the same purpose as functional considerations and can be amplified or lessened, as needed. Keywords: military; IDF; female soldiers; religion and the military; religious considerations; religious women’s conscription In November 2016, the issue of integrating women in the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) tank corps began to be discussed. The Israeli national religious caricaturist Yossi Shachar published a caricature of a large pink tank, labeled “feminism”, threatening a small tank with a frightened solider inside it, labeled “the IDF” (Shachar 2016).
