But, it is important to use this article as well because it comes from a different source (BBC instead of Asia News). A different news source gives a slightly different perspective and draws different issues within the protests. Even from the same subject area, a different perspective is important.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: .5in;text-indent: -.5in\">Pablo Lerner and Alfredo Mordechai Rabello, \u201cThe (Re) Codification of Israeli Private Law: Support for, and Criticism of, the Israeli Draft Civil Law Code,\u201d <em>The American Journal of Comparative Law, Vol. 59, No. 3 <\/em>(2011): 763-803.<\/p>\n<p>In this excerpt from an American Journal on law, a comparative study of Israeli Draft Law is given. This article is important because it gives both sides of the controversy and allows for the most well-rounded research possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: .5in;text-indent: -.5in\">Martin Edelman, \u201cThe New Israeli Constitution,\u201d <em>Middle Eastern Studies, Vol. 36, no. 2 <\/em>(2000): 1-27.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the Draft Controversy, it is important to have a basic understanding of the makeup of Israeli law. This article gives important background information and gives a better understanding of the creation of Israeli laws. It is quite general, not overly specific on the topic of Draft Law, but by gaining a better understanding of Israeli Constitutional law gives a better ability in comprehension of why the draft law is so important.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: .5in;text-indent: -.5in\">Shmuel Almog, Jehuda Reinharz, and Anita Shapira, <em>Zionism and Religion <\/em>(Hanover: Brandeis University Press, 1998), 273-311.<\/p>\n<p>This book serves, like the before mentioned article, as background information. But this has less to do with law and much more to do with a better understanding of Israel and religion. As is important to distinguish, Zionism and Judaism are not one in the same. With this understanding, the discontent of Ultra-Orthodox Jews can be better understood. Why would this observant Jews put the priorities of their religious life over the military\/security interests of the country? That is a possible answer that can be found in these two chapters of <em>Zionism and Religion.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/guidedhistory\/law-and-religion\/cc-204-bibliographies\/\">&lt;&lt; Return to the CC 204 Bibliographies homepage<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An annotated bibliography of sources on the topic of: Ultra-Orthodox Judaism\u00a0and the Israeli Draft compiled and annotated by\u00a0Ethan Lang for the course CAS CC 204: Religion and Secularism in Spring 2015 \u201cIsrael: Ultra-Orthodox Jews Rally Against Israeli Draft Law.\u201d\u00a0Asia News Monitor.
