X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>Israel recently added a new chapter to its
  evolving constitutional framework. Alongside human dignity and liberty\, w
 hich form the legal bedrock of the nation’s human rights regime\, this July
  the Knesset added a single sentence to the country’s Basic Laws: “Torah st
 udy is a basic value in the heritage of the Jewish people and in the State 
 of Israel.” While critics rightly warn of an alarming leap toward a theocra
 tic state driven by a religious minority wielding disproportionate politica
 l leverage\, the true significance of this law extends far beyond coalition
 al cynicism. It reflects a profound\, structural transformation of the Isra
 eli legal and social fabric itself. Come hear Nitsan Plitman explain the im
 plications of this recent development.</p>
