Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal examines contemporary Israeli society, politics, and culture, with a particular focus on the evolution of political discourse, religious movements, and minority experiences within Israel. Recent articles analyze shifts in the right-wing's response to Rabin's assassination, the role of religious discourse in shaping public perception, the Reform movement's engagement with memorialization, and the representation of tyranny on the Israeli stage. The journal also explores the Israeli government's relationship with its diaspora, the resurgence of clientelism in Israeli democracy, and the challenges faced by women artists from minority communities.
