	JBooks.com - Interviews and Profiles: Israeli Culture, Jewish Culture, and the Future
		Israeli culture, in all branches of research and the arts, is expected to describe, judge, respond to and, if possible, direct it all.
		However, Israeli culture, which is total Jewish culture by definition, is expected to cover everything, to use a range of tools and various aesthetic forms whether realistic or naturalistic, surrealistic or abstract to ponder the whole of life around it.
		Israeli culture has earned the objective esteem and acknowledgement of many big and small nations by virtue of its problematical vitality as well as its close contact with new developments in the world of research and the arts.

	OJPCR 4.1: Culture and Conflict in the Middle East (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Israeli society is "a human improvisation patched together from amidst the debris of the shattered empires of the twentieth century with immigrants from as many countries as had Jewish communities"(Cohen, 28).
		Israeli children are taught to express their moral responses independent of their parents and friends.
		One of the basic concepts governing the Israeli culture is the redemption of the "Zionist" land or the "Land of Israel." This concept has governed most of the Israeli government's policies and plans.

	Jeet Heer, "The Diaspora and Israeli Culture"
		Indeed, Israelis are singularly cool towards the culture of the Jewish Diaspora, whether created in the United States or elsewhere.
		Therefore Israelis cannot help but feel envious and resentful of their North American cousins, even while also believing that only those that live in Israel are really keeping the authentic Jewish identity alive.
		For older Israeli writers, one guesses, Kafka represents everything that was wrong with the Diaspora: he was overly-intellectual, neurotic, and he wrote in the language of the enemy, German.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Culture: Contemporary Israeli Film
		Whereas once the idea of the Israeli film had been associated with third-rate dramas and sophomoric comedies, the emergence of young filmmakers like Eytan Fox, Dover Kosashvili, Shemi Zarhin, and Eran Riklis, along with the continued success of Israel’s most prominent director, Amos Gitai, meant that cinematically speaking, Israel was a cultural backwater no longer.
		For Israeli filmmakers, though, the burning affairs of domestic life, and the ever-looming Israeli-Palestinian conflict, are too immediate for distraction and mindless entertainment to rule the day.
		Israelis look to films for a chance to wrestle with their country’s demons, and this seeming limitation of Israeli film has become, in the end, its salvation.

	Press release -Israeli Culture at Crossroad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The long-established notions of Israel's European-based 'high culture' are giving way to other cultural strains—from the Middle East, Russia and North America—even as the mass media continues to fix its spotlight on the diplomatic and political front.
		These cultural forces, fuelled by the growth of ethnic political factions and a runaway commercialism, challenge Israel's identity and creative output.
		According to Waterman, Israel's 'cultural canon'—a body of unwritten and mostly unexamined criteria by which culture is defined—was fixed during the early years of statehood, when the tastes and ideologies of the European-based Ashkenazi elite shaped the country's cultural institutions: museums, universities, symphony orchestras, theatres, publishing houses, as well as print and broadcast media.

	israelinsider: Views: Israeli culture - the last, great frontier
		It is easy to sit back and complain about the lack of Jewish values in Israeli society, the superficiality and emptiness that typify much of its culture, and the sorry lack of upstanding role models for Israeli youth to emulate.
		There is a saying in Washington, DC - "people are policy," which means that the people one appoints to positions of power and influence, and the beliefs and values they bring to the job, eventually count for more than the policy vision or guidelines that a leader lays out.
		And popular Israeli culture is the last great frontier, waiting to be settled by religious Jews, just as the hills of Samaria and the deserts of Judea have been.

		The neighborhood's proximity to Jaffa is invisible, and Arabness appears largely as a cultural and aesthetic terrain, disassociated from politics and national histories.
		Building on the films of Israeli director Amos Guttman, who died in 1993 of AIDS-related illnesses, Fox celebrates the possibility of a new Israel in which gay men have a legitimate place; lesbians and lesbian culture are largely ignored.
		Yet both mappings of Israeli urban space, premised on a series of exclusions, might be understood as a response to the reconfiguration of regional geopolitics in the post-Oslo era.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Culture: Israeli Literature
		Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, Israeli literature written in the Hebrew language is extraordinarily rich and varied, although Israel is a small country and Hebrew is spoken by relatively few people.
		Rahel Bluwstein (1890-1931), a poet known simply as Rahel, was born in Russia and came to Palestine in 1909 as a pioneer. She left to study agriculture in 1913, but when she returned with tuberculosis, after World War I, she was unable to resume the difficult pioneer life.
		The question remains as to whether the Jewishness of Israeli literature, as of the rest of contemporary Israeli culture, must be explicitly articulated and examined or whether it is simply and naturally present, the matrix upon which everything else lies.
