A Shared Society: Challenges & Opportunities of Multiculturalism in Israel

Knosh & Knowledge hosts Tova Hartman as she explores the challenges for marginalized ultra orthodox and Ethiopian Jews, Arabs and Druse in Israel’s multicultural society and discusses the opportunities in supporting their full participation in a cohesive whole, where mainstream and marginal alike can take their place at the national table.

She is the author of Are You Not a Man of God?: Devotion, Betrayal, and Social Criticism in Jewish Tradition; Feminism Encounters Jewish Tradition: Resistance and Accommodation; and Appropriately Subversive: Modern Mothers in Traditional Religions as well as of numerous articles.
