note that the evasive and contradictory character of his positions was due also to the fact that Jabotinsky was not only a politician. He was also an artist, a playwright, an author, a thinker, and a poet. This is what makes him unique, and it also contributes to his complexity and to his strengths and weaknesses as a politician. Heller’s captivating and important book adds an important dimension to our understanding of Jabotinsky, though it would seem that his character will continue to be open to further interpretation in the future.

Challenging this assumption, it is interesting that the National Council’s Committee in Birthrate Problems did not encourage people to engage in sex more frequently. This, perhaps, can indicate that sex was considered an even more personal issue than pregnancy and abortion. To conclude, Rosenberg-Friedman’s important and thought-provoking book is written from the perspective of social history, offering an integrative look at the numerous aspects of this issue including women’s lives, families’ lives, household management, doctors’ work, conditions in hospitals, demographers’ work, and public opinion. Rosenberg-Friedman demonstrates how the issue of birthrate reveals the Yishuv society in its complexity, in terms of gender relations, ethnic and class divisions, clashing ideals, and an intricate collective mission in a tumultuous period.

Over the past few years, scholars have shown a growing interest in mixed families and mixedness. This is reflected in numerous articles and books as well as in special issues of prominent journals devoted to the topic, such as The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science in 2015, Ethnicities in 2016, and Recherches Familiales in 2017. Quite surprisingly, and despite the growing interest in this issue, there is no agreedupon scholarly definition of mixedness. A common definition of mixed families, however, is that they are constituted by unconventional and even forbidden marriage or by unions between individuals who belong to specific groups—such as race, nation, class, ethnicity, religion, or some combination of these—that are constructed, depending on the time, the place, and the context, as “different” and socially “distant.”Accordingly, it is also assumed that by their very nature mixed families threaten the social order and collective identities by challenging the prevailing endogamous marital norms and by creating new spaces that disrupt social hierarchies. Moreover, by forming bridges between different groups in society they redraw social boundaries that divide or demarcate individuals and groups and indeed may change societal mainstreams. Also, it is generally agreed that these “barrier-breaking” families are becoming more common, for not only are they part of the globalization process and its intense migration flows, they are also boosted by the continual development of knowledge exchange, global tourism, sports and art, transport, communication, and medical technologies; the emergence of transnational marriage markets; and the growing diversification of family forms. At the current stage of research, it can be argued that the growing body of scholarship already provides us with pivotal insights into the ways that mixedness is formed, lived, contested, fought against, or celebrated, in terms of both the individual and society. It can also be assumed that in the future this research trend will continue, because, as scholars argue, academia itself has a substantial role to play in conceptualizing these processes. Yet, despite the ever-growing number of families that are mixed across national, cultural, racial, and religious boundaries worldwide, it appears that most of the existing research and theorizing on mixedness relates to Western countries, with a special emphasis on English-speaking, North American, and British contexts, where most of the research is carried out.

ABSTRACT Lehava is an Israeli extreme right-wing organization dedicated to fighting intermarriage and especially preventing Arab men from courting Jewish women. This article presents the results of an ethnographic research on Lehava. The organization is examined in the context of growing Jewish ethno-nationalism in Israel and the contingent development of new urban extreme right-wing movements. The research presents an initial foray into this field. Lehava brings together traditional Mizrahim, teenagers from the margins of Haredi society, and the extreme right-wing fringes of Religious Zionism. The elements that attract members of these various groups are described, especially the patriarchal notion that religious and national honor is lost when Jewish women have sexual relations with Arab men. Lehava’s positioning between extreme right-wing movements and religious organizations is explained. It is suggested that local elements including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Israeli ethnic and class relations play a role in shaping this phenomenon, and that it is also comparable to similar cases occurring in the context of postcolonial national and religious struggles.

ABSTRACT This article sheds light on the socio-legal implications of the dissolution of “mixed” marriages. By analyzing two legal cases decided by Israeli shari‘a and civil courts, the article shows how such dissolution transforms the map of social conflicts and coalitions that was formed when the marital union was established. It illustrates how the ex-spouses’ families and communities are drawn into the custody struggles following the divorce, and how communal/religious courts may side with the spouse of the same community/religion. It argues that ex-spouses who converted to their partners’ religion – more often women than men – might be disadvantaged by this situation, and demonstrates how courts and parties to the postmarital intercommunal conflict infuse the concept of the “child’s best interests” with diverse cultural meanings.

ABSTRACT In this article, I analyze how the mainstream media in Israel, increasingly shaped by social media, constructs a story about a mixed marriage between an Israeli woman, who was raised as Jewish and had converted to Islam, and a Israeli Muslim-Arab man. Referring to 57 items published mainly in August 2014 (during the Third Gaza War), a “human rights,” a “Romeo and Juliette,” and an “assimilation” discourses are identified. Mixedness appears as part of the democratization of Israel in the first and second discourses; in the third one, mixedness appears as a threat to the Jewish state. The growing impact of the new media is also referred to.

ABSTRACT Since its establishment, Israel’s population has included individuals associated with different religions and ethnic groups. The literature on religious intermarriage in Israel is not abundant. This probably reflects the relative paucity of cases in relation to a total population that has overwhelmingly tended to perform endogamous marriages – within the Jewish population but also within each of the other main religious groups. It probably also reflects negative normative attitudes towards the phenomenon. This paper presents previously unpublished data on the religious composition of couples, as it is covered in Israel’s population census of 2008. We evaluate the overall frequency of intermarriage across religions, according to the combination of spouses from four main religion categories (Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Other), and the frequency of Jewish religious intermarriage by selected sociodemographic characteristics of spouses (sex, age, year of immigration, educational attainment, district and main cities of residence).

ABSTRACT This paper examines changes that have occurred in Israel’s citizenship policy towards family immigrants since the early 1990s, when it became a country of immigration. Its findings indicate that Israel now has a much more restrictive policy towards Palestinian family immigrants, and a somewhat more inclusive policy concerning the naturalization of various other groups of family immigrants. In a broader perspective, while there is evidence that the influence of the liberal perception of citizenship on policy-making processes has increased in some respects, this process has occurred within an overall ethnic, even ethnicizing, context. Accordingly, the inclusive trend toward non-Olim, non-Palestinian family immigrants may stem not only from a process of liberalization within Israeli society. Rather, it may also serve ethnic motivations by absorbing immigrants who are likely to eventually join the Jewish, or at least non-Arab, sector.

ABSTRACT This study of offspring of parents of mixed ethnicities demonstrates how persistent ethnic identities are. A case study of Israelis born into ethnically-mixed marriages between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi parents, it reveals the ambivalence expressed by respondents about their dual ethnic inheritance. While romanticizing their mixed ethnicity, respondents take issue with the dominance of one side of their family over the other. The study provides evidence of this ambivalence and advances the conclusion that ethnic conflicts cannot be solved by ethnically-mixed coupling. Rather, these families still mirror and inadvertently reproduce the ethnic gaps that they promised to eliminate.

ABSTRACT Are German non-Jewish partner/spousal migrants a discrete group in Israel, given the unique history of Israel and Germany, or do they form part of Israel’s wider, if stratified, non-Jewish migrant population, a group that is subject to restrictive policies? Do German partner/spousal migrants share similar experiences with other non-Jewish partner/spousal migrants from countries of the global north? The article considers the overarching issue regarding whether, and to what degree, the German/Jewish/Israeli dynamics of the past and present affect the sense of belonging or de-belonging within the Israeli setting, how these issues impact the family constellation, the specific factors that influence the construction of belonging/de-belonging within the Israeli Jewish majority, and whether non-Jewishness overshadows being German.
