The book examines the relationship between the rabbinate and politics in religious Zionism during the early years of the State of Israel and discusses a number of dilemmas encountered by the rabbis at that time.
"Rabbinism and Politics in Religious Zionism is a valuable and insightful monograph. Its narrative highlights key questions about the interaction of religion, politics, and modernity. By excavating a forgotten institution, Kampinsky opens a window onto the foundational tensions and transformations that continue to shape Religious Zionism today. " — Shlomo Fischer, Contemporary Jewry
This book examines the relationship between the rabbinate and politics in religious Zionism during the early years of the State of Israel. What fundamental issues did the rabbis of the party face? Did all religious Zionist rabbis follow the same ideological line? Why did the relationship between rabbis and politicians experience ups and downs? And is there a chance for rabbis to have significant influence over religious Zionism in the future? Rabbinism and Politics in Religious Zionism seeks to answer these questions.
