Why is it important?

For each of the themes a leading scholar was selected to write the article. Contributors were given a long period of time to write their essays, and then received comments and critique aiming to improve the quality of their pieces and to sharpen arguments. Sometimes contributors submitted a third draft, after digesting the constructive critique. They analyze practical questions from theoretical and analytical perspectives, combining theory, law, and scientific knowledge. The result is truly inspiring. This volume significantly contributes to the ongoing debate on major issues in Israeli society.
