Abstract:
In 2004, the Knesset’s Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee, under the chairmanship of Michael Eitan, held hearings regarding the drafting of a constitution for Israel. Eitan asked me to prepare drafts for a proposed chapter on Israel as a Jewish nation-state. The committee members who took the keenest interest in this chapter were the late Rabbi Avraham Ravitz, of the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) United Torah Judaism (Yahadut ha-Tora) Party, and Reshef Chen, of the anti-Haredi Shinui Party.
