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.
