Knesset

Did Ruth Calderon's inaugural speech in the Knesset speak to all Israelis, regardless of race, ethnicity, or creed? Zachary Braiterman doesn't think so.

The Knesset conversation about legislation that would codify Israel's judiciary's ability to delcare laws unconstitutional is a conversation American liberals have been having for a long time. But liberalism (and Judaism) require deeper roots than law can provide.
