Is Israel the Nation-State or Religious State of the Jewish People?

Produced by the Israel Democracy Institute, this video (02:05) features Yair Sheleg exploring how the ultra-Orthodox monopoly over religious life in Israel has led to a growing rift between Israeli and Diaspora Jewry. He describes the exclusion of liberal Jewish movements as « national suicide, » referring specifically to the discrimination against women, lack of recognition of rabbis from different streams, and egalitarian worship at the Western Wall.
