Israel as a Jewish & Democratic State - Dr. Rachel Fish
Dr. Fish will explore the challenges of Israel as a Jewish and Democratic State in the 21st century. Israel must contend with domestic concerns including the Jewish character of the state, the Palestinian Arab citizens of the state of Israel, and the two-state paradigm. Understanding Israel’s Jewish character and its democratic principles, and how these influence one another provides a more complete context for deeper analysis about Israel in the 21st century.
Dr. Rachel Fish (Ph.D., Brandeis University) is Associate Director of the
Schusterman Center for Israel Studies.
