A Rabbi's View of Nationality in Israel

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 3, 2018

Rabbi Seth Farber, founder of ITIM, an advocacy organization fighting for a more inclusive religious establishment in Israel, discusses the controversy surrounding Israel's new Nationality Law, which defines Israel as a Jewish state and downgrades Arabic from an official language to one of "special status".

Rabbi Seth Farber: The Nationality Law was passed "under poor circumstances"; Arabic downgraded to special status is "silly"; Israel as a nation-state for the Jews is "ok but doesn't need to be said"
