Abstract
Remember the photograph of the paratroopers standing at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, still dressed in their combat fatigues, tears in their eyes? It captured one of those electrifying historical moments, when Zionism and Judaism fell into each other's arms and secular state power liberated religious worship. That was 1967. At the time Israeli secularism was still supreme, religious power still marginalized, and feminism non-existent.
