RABBINATE
Recently
certain Haredi Knesset members objected to a bill to add women onto the committee
for choosing rabbinical court judges, and one objection was that the Judicial
Appointments Committee had no such requirement, said Lavie.
According
to Lavie, the Haredi Knesset members said this inequal application of requiring
equality showed that the rabbinical courts' bill was proposed merely to harm
the rabbinical courts.
Lavie
stated that by passing this law, she and other proponents of the rabbinical
courts bill had answered their detractors' objection.

A study by
TheMarker does, indeed, reveal there to be a housing shortage -- but not for
all Israelis. The country’s Haredi and Arab populations lack an adequate number
of homes. However, if anything, secular, middle class Israelis have a housing
surplus.

ORGAN DONATION
If we want
to increase organ donation in Israel we need to listen to the people who are
refusing organ donation and ask them why.
The majority of Israelis are secular Israelis – but this is not secularism as understood in other Western countries.
Secular Israelis may not follow halakha during their lifetime, yet often when death intrudes, there is an instinctual 'return' to caring about halakha; many believe Judaism forbids organ donation.

RELIGION AND SOCIETY
In order to truly bridge
the gaps, we must create a fundamental cultural shift from the two sided
religious-secular mindset, and stop using categorical terms which no longer
reflect our multispectral society
