DESCRIPTION:Yaron Peleg (Cambridge) discusses a crucial theme in Israeli 
 cinema. The third in the Centre for Jewish Studies Seminar Series. The l
 ecture looks at the changing nature of Zionism and the place of Judaism 
 or Jewishness within it by observing the ways it is reflected in Israeli
  films. The presentation follows the challenges to the secular nature of
  Zionism by looking at the development of different kinds of Judaisms or
  expressions of Jewish religiosity since the establishment of Israel in 
 1948 as part of the State's national culture. These challenges include t
 hree different strands or kinds of Judaisms\, Ashkenazi\, Mizrahi\, and 
 national. Ashkenazi Judaism refers to the evolution of the image of Ashk
 enazi orthodox Jews in Israeli popular culture and its migration from ma
 rgin to center. Mizrahi Judaism refers to the development of traditional
 ism (????????) as one of the earliest legitimate forms of Jewish religio
 sity as part of secular\, Israeli culture. National Judaism refers to th
 e rise of political Judaism\, usually identified with the settler commun
 ity. These three strands or iterations of Jewish religiosity as part of 
 contemporary Israeli culture challenge the secularity of Jewish national
 ism as conceived by early Zionist thinkers\, developed in Yishuv culture
 \, and sanctioned by the early State in its cultivation and promotion of
  Statism.
