  • Summary

    This concluding chapter begins with a description of young Israelis who have chosen to live in Berlin. The political, economic, and cultural reasons for choosing Berlin are listed. The analysis turns to a critique of the ‘warring tribe’ model of Israeli society and suggests instead that there are presently different versions of ‘being Israeli’, or ‘Israeliness’. The majority version is secular in orientation, and haredim and Israeli Palestinians are variant minority versions. The three share some common cultural features, while also differing in many respects. Continuing close interactions between them produces new features and alignments, and they will continue to negotiate the society’s shape and directions.
