Second, it deals with the various divisions that have bedeviled Israeli society since its early years: the differences between Jews and Arabs, Ashkenazim and Mizrahim, secular and orthodox, as well as class, gender and generation gaps, had a significant impact on the structure of Israeli society.  This course offers an introductory survey of Israeli culture.
