  • Sociological Papers the Emerging Second Generation of Immigrant
    Sociological Papers The Emerging Second Generation of Immigrant Israelis Series Editor: Larissa Remennick Managing Editor: Anna Prashizky Volume 16, 2011 Sponsored by the Leon Tamman Foundation for Research into Jewish Communities SOCIOLOGICAL INSTITUTE FOR COMMUNITY STUDIES BAR-ILAN UNIVERSITY Generation 1.5 Russians in Israel: From Vodka to Latte. Maturation and Integration Processes as Reflected in the Recreational Patterns Liza Rozovsky and Oz Almog The Department of Land of Israel Studies University of Haifa Abstract This article reflects on the process of coming of age among Russian Israelis who immigrated as older children or adolescents. It describes the culture of informal youth groups (tusovkas) of the 1990s that transplanted multiple elements of Russian subversive youth culture of the last Soviet and post-Soviet years onto Israeli soil. These groups - that flourished mainly in peripheral towns of Israel - served as both social safety net for alienated Russian teenagers and the bridge to their gradual acculturation. Entering adulthood, most tusovka members left the streets, completed their academic degrees, and moved to Central Israel in search of lucrative jobs and thriving cultural life. Although young Russian Israelis have adopted many elements of the mainstream lifestyle (particularly in the patterns of residence and entertainment), their social preferences and identity remain distinct in lieu of the lingering Russian cultural legacies. Introduction This article sheds light on the recent changes in the recreational patterns of "Generation 1.5" – Russian, Ukrainian and other former Soviet immigrants who immigrated in Israel along with their parents as preteens or young adolescents during the 1990s. Several factors shaped the recreational patterns of these Generation 1.5'ers during their initial years in Israel: the social characteristics of the Russian aliyah; the unique circumstances of their birth and socialization; and the policies of direct immigrant absorption first instituted in Israel during the 1990s.

  • Legal Pluralism, Religious Adjudication and the State
    A PLURALITY OF DISCONTENT: LEGAL PLURALISM, RELIGIOUS ADJUDICATION AND THE STATE Adam S. Hofri-Winogradow* INTRODUCTION The norms that the official legal systems of North American and European states apply do not derive directly from any religion. While some of those norms, such as some of the norms governing marriage, do originate, historically, in religion and religious law, no norms are today enforced by those legal systems because the norms are part of a specific religious legal order. And yet, adjudication according to religious norms is commonplace. In North America and Europe, the legal systems applying norms associated with specific religions to adherents of those religions are principally nonstate community tribunals. Outside this Northwestern world, state legal systems, particularly those of Muslim- majority jurisdictions, often permit religious normative materials to be applied to adherents of the relevant religions as a matter of state law. Both situations are examples of legal pluralism.' The popularity of the application of religious norms by state legal systems2 throughout much of the contemporary world raises a challenge * Assistant Professor, Faculty of Law, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

  • Back and Forth: Commuting for Work in Israel Haim Bleikh*
    1 Executive Summary Back and Forth: Commuting for Work in Israel Haim Bleikh* Full research study published in October 2018 The subject of commuting has attracted more and more public attention in Israel in recent years as road congestion levels continue to rise with the increasing number of commuters. Over the last 30 years, the number of employed persons working outside their residential area has risen from 42 percent to 54 percent (as of 2016) among Israelis of working age (25-64). The main mode of commuting is by private car and the number of rides has grown faster than road expansion — creating the traffic jams that have become all too familiar. Commuting distance, time, and mode of transportation Most trips to work are short. Three out of every four workers ages 25-64 travel 20 kilometers or less to reach their workplace, mostly in private vehicles (for 2014-2016). About 60 percent of workers travel for no more than half an hour, 30 percent between half an hour and an hour, and about 10 percent travel for over an hour in each direction. Regarding the choice in mode of transportation — 62 percent commute to work by car (including shared rides) and only 17 percent commute by public transportation. About 10 percent commute by bicycle or by foot and 8 percent commute by work- organized transportation. There are large differences in commuting patterns in different parts of the country. For example, in both Jerusalem and Petah Tikva many commuters travel between half an hour and an hour, but in Jerusalem (where 91 percent of residents work within the city) this seems to be due to the extensive use of public transportation and large city size while, in Petah Tikva, a higher percentage use a private vehicle and commute distances of up to 20 kilometers, indicating that the travel time is a result of traffic congestion.

  • Fredrika Shavit V. Rishon Lezion Jewish Burial Society
    CA 6024/97 Fredrika Shavit v. Rishon Lezion Jewish Burial Society The Supreme Court sitting as the Court of Civil Appeals [July 6, 1999] Before Court President A. Barak, Justices M. Cheshin, I. Englard. Facts: Petitioner challenged the refusal of a Jewish burial society to allow an inscription on her mother's tombstone recording the dates of birth and death according to the Gregorian, as well as the Hebrew, calendar. The district court held that the recently-passed Alternative Burial Law permitted Jews to bury their loved ones in civilian cemeteries, not according to Jewish religious law, had the effect of overturning previous court rulings requiring Jewish burial societies to permit non-Hebrew characters and dates on tombstones. Sites have yet to be established for alternative burial. Held: Jewish burial societies have a public, as well as a private, character, and as such are subject to public law. The Alternative Burial Law did not have the effect of overruling previous holdings requiring Jewish burial societies to permit non-Hebrew lettering. This is particularly true because the statute has yet to be implemented. Barring family members from recording the names of their deceased loved ones in the language of their choice harms the sensibilities of the relatives and the human dignity of the deceased. It outweighs the potential harm to the sensibilities of religious visitors to the cemetery who may be offended by the non-Hebrew lettering, particularly considering that the Jewish law prohibition against inscribing non-Hebrew calendar dates and letters is not sweeping and comprehensive. Furthermore, the weight accorded to the sensibilities of religious people offended by practices that violate religious law decreases in the public domain, like a cemetery, as compared to the weight such harm is accorded in the private domain, like the home.
