Law and the culture of Israel: A reply to Ruth Gavison and Moshe Halbertal

I want to thank both Moshe Halbertal and Ruth Gavison for reading my work and for commenting on it. I share Moshe's and Ruth's commitment to Israel's liberalism, of course. The question is, what are the best means for protecting it, given its fragility? Moshe focused on one peripheral and extreme group, the ultra-Orthodox group. What I have in mind is rather the religious-Zionist group, which is far larger in terms of numbers, and far more important in terms of both its institutionalization and its involvement in Israel's mainstream civil society and politics.
