In the course of these approximately one hundred years, Zionist Israelis developed a visual corpus and artistic lexicon of Jewish-Israeli icons as an anchor for the emerging ?civil religion.? Bridging internal tensions and even paradoxes, artists dynamically adopted, responded to, and adapted significant Diaspora influences for Jewish-Israeli purposes, as well as Jewish religious themes for secular goals, all in the name of creating a new state with its own paradoxes, simultaneously styled on the Enlightenment nation-state and Jewish peoplehood. 410 0$aBrill's Series in Jewish Studies;$vvolume65. 606 $aArt, Israeli$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArt$zPalestine$xHistory$x19th century 606 $aJewish art and symbolism$zIsrael 606 $aJewish art and symbolism$zPalestine 606 $aZionism in art 615 0$aArt, Israeli$xHistory 615 0$aArt$xHistory$x19th century. 615 0$aJewish art and symbolism 615 0$aJewish art and symbolism 615 0$aZionism in art. 676 $a709.5694 700 $aMishory$b Alec$01731701 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838353303321 996 $aSecularizing the sacred$94144804 997 $aUNINA
