Over the last thirty years major changes have transformed Israeli Jewish Identity. Secular Zionism, which held undisputed hegemony, has receded through a crisis of identity and split into two major camps. Religious Zionism, at first evincing a triumphant Settler movement, has lost its ideological center, and now holds power without a vision, and the Ultra-Orthodox are going through a process of Israelization, making them more integrated and also more nationalistic. We shall analyze and understand the many and varied Jewish voices emerging today in Israel.
