This book examines the relationship between the rabbinate and politics in religious Zionism during the early years of the State of Israel. What fundamental issues did the rabbis of the party face? Did all religious Zionist rabbis follow the same ideological line? Why did the relationship between rabbis and politicians experience ups and downs? And is there a chance for rabbis to have significant influence over religious Zionism in the future? Rabbinism and Politics in Religious Zionism seeks to answer these questions.
