By contrast, this bookapproaches the creation of the Mizrachi as a genuine revolution,when the religious and rabbinic world entered institutionalizedpolitics and, to some extent, assumed the demands of modernity.This is the first study in English tracing the course of religious-Zionism since the creation of the Mizrachi in 1902 until recentyears, when traditional structures have changed or even collapsedand the movement confronts a new horizon.Dov Schwarz was Dean of the Faculty of Humanities at Bar-Ilan University (2003-2006) and head of the Department of Philosophy(1999-2002).
