Israel’s Government Aims to Redefine Who is a Jew, March 7, 2023

 

The current Israeli government is aiming to officially redefine who is a Jew and thereby change one of Israel’s most foundational reasons for existence—the Law of Return.

As ultra-Orthodox have consistently increased their percentage of the population, they have become more vocal of their vision to see Israel become a religiously ruled state (theocracy) rather than a secular democratic state as it is today. Their primary strategy appears to be to create this shift by sheer population increase which translates into voting power. According to the Minister of Education, up to 40% of today’s children are being educated in Haredi or religious schools.

It is estimated that by 2050, one in three Jewish Israelis will be ultra-Orthodox.
