#57: Jewish Calendar, Israeli Calendar
During Israel’s early years, the relationship between Jewishness and Israeliness often seemed precarious, but now a majority of Israeli Jews participate in some High Holiday observance. Donniel Hartman, Yossi Klein Halevi and Elana Stein Hain explore how the High Holidays are experienced in Israel, what this tells us about the state of Judaism and Jewish identity in the country, and how Israeli observance is different from that of American Jews.
