Only a few decades after the Holocaust, Belgian Jews, like most European Jewries, are under the attack of forces stemming from a variety of sources. How do they confront and stand these new hardships? Research done all over Europe from 2012 through 2013 tried to answer this question. Among the cases investigated, the Belgian Jewry is one of the most interesting. It is both versatile and representative, revealing essential components of the general experience of European Jews today. Conceptual considerations pave the way to the study of their plight that has been, by any criterion, anything but “usual'. Belgian Jews, it appears, are “like” many other Jewries in Europe but “a little more”. They highlight the question: is allosemitism at all surmountable? This book is also available in paperback.

This book examines kibbutz life following the Israeli economic crisis of 1985, focusing on the kibbutz's dramatic transformation from a well-defined social structure to a collective identified principally by its cultural preoccupations. It centers on the contradictions endemic to kibbutz identity. Ben-Rafael shows how the crisis brought together a general pro-change Zeitgeist with the interests of the kibbutz's stronger social segments and individuals to produce widespread changes and the fragmentation of kibbutz reality as a whole. The book's findings are based on a large-scale research investigation (1991-1994) headed up by Ben-Rafael that included twenty research studies and involved the participation of researchers from diverse social-science disciplines. The book also provides a statistical abstract and a comprehensive kibbutz bibliography.

When examining how the social sciences have dealt with ideology, one's first impression is often one of considerable confusion. Sociology in particular is the scene of heated debates about ideology. These debates go sometimes so far as to echo doubts of participants with regard to their opponents' scientific endeavor, even straightforward denials of their scientific status. This volume brings together a series of articles that throw light on selected aspects of this intricate matter by well-known sociologists Boudon, Wittrock, Arnason, Touraine, Smolicz, Secombe, Wieviorka, Ben-Rafael and Sternberg.

The shift to Hebrew as a national language is at the root of the creation of Israel, yet many Jewish immigrants still use the language of their country of origin. Ultra-orthodox communities retain their own codes, and the use of Arabic remains a clear marker of the Israeli-Arab town and village. At the same time Israel's position in international affairs has encouraged a wide penetration of the society, along class lines, by languages of world-wide communication. These very same languages, for example English and French, have different values in their local context, and play active and different roles in the formation of social boundaries. In his analysis, Ben-Rafael focuses on linguistic resources and symbols which reflect and reveal the complex structure of class, ethnic, religious, and national identities and cleavages in Israeli society. More generally, he uses the Israeli case to show how sociolinguistic ideas may be related to sociological approaches to test some general sociological propositions about social aspects of language use.

En 1958, le chef de l'Etat israélien Ben Gourion eut l'idée peu banale de consulter une cinquantaine de sages Juifs, en Israël et en diaspora, en des termes qui revenaient à soulever l'immense question " Qui est Juif ? " Parmi ces sages, on compte des figures marquantes de la pensée juive rabbins, philosophes, hommes de sciences, médecins, juristes, juifs pratiquants tel le prix Nobel de littérature Agnon, ou libéraux ou libres-penseurs, tel Isaiah Berlin. A l'origine de l'enquête, on trouve une question récurrente dans les débats qui agitent le tout jeune Etat hébreu : doit-on accepter au sein du peuple Juif, ou non, ou sous quelles conditions, les enfants nés de mariages mixtes et dont la mère n'est pas juive ? Les réponses sont riches d'enseignement, et font apparaître la grande diversité des positions sur ce que peuvent être les frontières du judaïsme, et sur ce que signifie, très profondément, le fait d'être juif. Ces documents exceptionnels sont publiés pour la première fois grâce aux recherches d'Eliezer Ben-Rafaël. Quarante ans plus tard, il replace ces réponses dans le contexte des transformations du judaïsme depuis l'entrée des juifs dans l'ère moderne, jusqu'à l'aube du 21e siècle. Eliezer Ben-Rafaël nous livre ainsi un essai argumenté, érudit et pertinent sur ce qu il nomme " les identités juives ". Il montre le caractère aujourd'hui problématique de l'existence d'une identité juive unique, et il cherche à déterminer ce qui lui donnerait encore ce que Wittgenstein appelle un " air de famille ".
