By situating the decision in the broader debate on Israel’s constitutional definition as a Jewish and democratic state, the article examines patterns where the definition plays an important role in defining the nature of the citizenship held by PCI, and the limits of their rights.

    TO CONCUR, OR NOT TO CONCUR: THAT IS THE QUESTION: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES APPOINTED TEMPORARILY TO THE ISRAELI SUPREME COURT A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE STANFORD PROGRAM IN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES AT THE STANFORD LAW SCHOOL, STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF THE SCIENCE OF LAW By Binyamin Blum © May 2006 Please do not cite without permission of author ABSTRACT In many democratic societies, judicial tenure is perceived to be an important safeguard for the judiciary’s independence. In Israel, although judicial tenure is secured under Basic Law: The Judiciary, the promotion of judges from Israel’s District Courts to the Supreme Court is usually preceded by a temporary appointment. In practice, this temporary appointment serves as a “probationary period” after which the judges are considered for the permanent position of Associate Justice. One of the important implications of this promotion system is that while serving on Israel’s highest court, temporarily appointed judges continue to depend on external forces to retain their offices. Therefore, I argue that from a theoretical standpoint, temporary appointments pose a substantial threat to the judicial independence of individual judges. Because of the significant role played by Supreme Court Justices in the appointment process, I identify the threat to judicial independence as primarily originating within the judiciary, rather than from other branches of government. The major objective of this study is to examine the degree to which the theoretical threat to internal judicial independence can be seen to materialize in the Israeli Supreme Court example.

    The Haredim As a Challenge for the Jewish State. the Culture War Over Israel's Identity

    SWP Research Paper Peter Lintl The Haredim as a Challenge for the Jewish State The Culture War over Israel’s Identity Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs SWP Research Paper 14 December 2020, Berlin Abstract ∎ A culture war is being waged in Israel: over the identity of the state, its guiding principles, the relationship between religion and the state, and generally over the question of what it means to be Jewish in the “Jewish State”. ∎ The Ultra-Orthodox community or Haredim are pitted against the rest of the Israeli population. The former has tripled in size from four to 12 per- cent of the total since 1980, and is projected to grow to over 20 percent by 2040. That projection has considerable consequences for the debate. ∎ The worldview of the Haredim is often diametrically opposed to that of the majority of the population. They accept only the Torah and religious laws (halakha) as the basis of Jewish life and Jewish identity, are critical of democratic principles, rely on hierarchical social structures with rabbis at the apex, and are largely a-Zionist. ∎ The Haredim nevertheless depend on the state and its institutions for safeguarding their lifeworld. Their (growing) “community of learners” of Torah students, who are exempt from military service and refrain from paid work, has to be funded; and their education system (a central pillar of ultra-Orthodoxy) has to be protected from external interventions. These can only be achieved by participation in the democratic process. ∎ Haredi parties are therefore caught between withdrawal and influence.
