Sammendrag: As Israel reaches its fiftieth year of statehood, Israeli society faces a deepening crisis of identity. This is particularly evident in Israeli culture which, for quite some time, has been effectively disintegrating into several simultaneous sub-cultures. This process gained momentum during the 1990s due to the relaxation of national cohesiveness following the Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, on the one hand, and the growing post-modern influences on Israeli culture, on the other. This, in turn, has brought to the fore a whole range of questions which have hitherto been ignored, not least the inter-relationship between the Hebrew and Jewish aspects of Israeli culture. On the eve of the next millennium, this study of Israeli culture affords a meaningful insight into a society in a state of transition.
