HITCHHIKING AND RITUAL AMBIGUITY OF JEWISH SETTLERS IN THE WEST BANK

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Hitchhiking by Jewish religious Zionists along the roads of the West Bank is examined as a ritual of sacred travel. The ambiguous and fluid character of this ritual mirrors the risks of everyday life for Jewish settlers in the West Bank. This article also explores a notion of ritual that pays close attention to the daily dilemmas, tensions, and uncertainties that may be produced through quotidian religious practices.
