Israel is a nation perennially swept up in religious fervor and conflict.
And yet, strikingly, a large portion of its population is secular, and even
its insular ultra-Orthodox community loses a steady stream of members
who tire of its strict religious rules.
The country is home to about 7 million Jews, almost half of the global
Jewish population. But Jewish identity is a complex blend of religious
and ethnonational identity; most Israeli Jews are not diligent observers
of Judaism.
An Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics survey published in 2021 found
that among Israeli Jews over the age of 20, about 45 percent identified
as secular or not religious, while 33% said they practiced “traditional”
religious worship. Ultra-Orthodox Jews, known as Haredim in Hebrew,
made up 10%.
For Naor Narkis and many other secular Israelis, their Jewish identity
is cultural — defined by the Hebrew tongue and historical experience —
rather than governed by traditional religious worship.
