A Small Place in Galilee:
Religion and Social Conflict in an Israeli Village
Hardcover: $25.00
ISBN: 978-0-8419-1342-4
Zvi Sobel's absorbing book draws readers into the world of Yavneel, a small Israeli village that is home to several diverse communities: the established core of settler-farmers, new immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East, and, since 1986, the ultraorthodox Bratslav Hasidim. Yavneel has become a microcosm of Israeli society at large, reflecting the country's social, religious, economic, ethnic, and ideological conflicts and also the competing claims to its national identity and founding myths. A Small Place in Galilee brings into bold relief the dynamic interactions within this complex society.
