Yom kippur and jewish public culture in israel

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article offers an ethnographic-historical interpretation of Israeli public culture as reflected in the various forms in which Yom Kippur has been observed in the Israeli public sphere since the 1920s. The analysis demonstrates how Israeli culture is an independent Jewish culture, which should be judged separately from other historical Jewish cultures and from its marginal groups, the strictly religious and the radically secular.
