Reviews
"Judaism is a unique entity. It is a religion and a culture, but it is also a national entity. The State of Israel, the fulfillment of a dream of two millennia, when without a foothold in the promised land, Jewish continued existence depended on religious, spiritual, and intellectual values. But, how can this state, Jewish and democratic, relate to state and religion matters? ... Shuki Friedman, in his concise but very informative, balanced, and well-organized book, surveys the issues systematically and describes the development of state and religion issues since the establishment of Israel."
- Justice Elyakim Rubinstein, from the preface
