Israel’s Unfinished Secularization – Belief, Boundaries and Belonging

In this episode, Lea Abdelouahal and Noà Furrer explore the
question of postsecularity through the lens of Israel’s legal
system. They are joined by Professor Nijmi Edres who is an expert
in the legal and social history of Israel–Palestine. Drawing on
her academic work, she helps unpack Israel’s plural legal system
and it’s ambivalence. The conversation also addresses
interreligious marriage and the legal limits faced by mixed-faith
couples. This episode offers critical legal insights into how
religious and secular elements are intertwined within the modern
state of Israel and why this relationship remains central to
current developments.


This is the first episode in a series of conversations featuring
several experts who, over the coming months, will explore Israel
and Palestine from a postsecular perspective.
