{"product_id":"9781468308259","title":"The War Within: Israel's Ultra-Orthodox","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn recent years there has been a war raging within Israel — but not the interminable conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, as one might assume.\u003cbr\u003eFor many Israelis, it is the internecine conflict with the ultra-orthodox Haredim that impacts their lives the most. The majority of Haredim — raised with an intense focus on religion at the expense of all else — are unemployable in a modern economy. Many choose to pursue religious studies, which the government subsidizes up to the age of 40.\u003cbr\u003eThe first book on a conflict that is fast crystallizing into a national debate, The War Within is a lively and trenchant exploration of a battle between church and state as it plays out before our eyes in Israel today. As acclaimed journalists Yuval Elizur and Lawrence Malkin expose, the situation today has reached a critical point that threatens the state of Israel from within and must certainly affect its future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Overlook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061035548912,"sku":"9781468308259","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781468308259_p0.jpg?v=1763694937","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781468308259","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
