Israeli Culture and Society

The Jewish community of Palestine, now the Israeli nation, has evolved certain patterns of life, which, although not yet crystallized, have, nevertheless, become quite well established. The most important are socialism, the glorification of the laborer and labor, pioneerism (halutziut), Westernism, secularism, and democracy. They are now changing, some being threatened with extinction, chiefly as a result of the change in the attitude of the people following their attainment of full nationhood but, even more so, as an effect of the tremendous influx of immigrants, particularly from the Middle East
