Minority Rights and Local Struggles; Conclusion 327 $a6 Live and Let Buy: Bargaining for the Sabbath 330 $aA thriving, yet small, liberal component in Israeli society has frequently taken issue with the constraints imposed by religious orthodoxy, largely with limited success. However, Guy Ben-Porat suggests, in recent years, in part because of demographic changes and in part because of the influence of an increasingly consumer-oriented society, dramatic changes have occurred in secularization of significant parts of public and private lives. Even though these fissures often have more to do with lifestyle choices and economics than with political or religious ideology, the demands and choices of a secular public and a burgeoning religious presence in the government are becoming ever more difficult to reconcile. The evidence, which the author has accrued from numerous interviews and a detailed survey, is nowhere more telling than in areas that demand religious sanction such as marriage, burial, the sale of pork, and the operation of businesses on the Sabbath. 410 0$aCambridge Middle East studies ;$v42. 517 3 $aBetween State & Synagogue 606 $aJudaism$zIsrael 606 $aJudaism and state$zIsrael 606 $aSecularism$zIsrael 606 $aJews$zIsrael$xIdentity 607 $aIsrael$xPolitics and government 615 0$aJudaism 615 0$aJudaism and state 615 0$aSecularism 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 676 $a322/.1095694 700 $aBen-Porat$b Guy$0479777 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453118503321 996 $aBetween state and synagogue$9259371 997 $aUNINA
