“…Third, the Israeli state's hands‐off approach toward the ecclesiastical courts stems not only from internal political considerations, but also from international considerations related to its relationship and agreements with the Holy See (Abou Ramadan, 1997, 2000; Karayanni, 2018; Mack, 2012). As far as the churches are concerned, any state involvement in the operation of the ecclesiastical courts is perceived as an unwelcome intervention in their internal affairs, and they are therefore quite adamant in resisting such encroachments onto their domain.…”

“…Thus, the state does not intervene in the nomination of ecclesiastical judges, in setting the courts' hierarchy and judicial review process, or in determining court fees, juridical rules and procedures, and the substantive codes that govern rulings. The state's hands‐off approach also allows the ecclesiastical courts to eschew the publication of their state‐enforced court decisions (Amir, 2014, 2016; Bialer, 2005; Karayanni, 2018).…”

“…When appeals from the community for the “decolonization” of what is perceived as a Greek monopoly over the local church fell on deaf ears, many of the local laity have severed their ties with the Greek Orthodox clerical establishment. Nevertheless, they are still legally compelled to adjudicate their marital troubles in the ecclesiastical tribunals (Katz & Kark, 2005, 2007; Karayanni, 2018, pp. 846–849).…”

The article analyzes Israel's ecclesiastical court system through the prism of Weberian theory to both empirical and theoretical ends. On the empirical level, it aims to illuminate a grossly understudied socio‐legal arena—the communal Christian courts in the Middle‐East. On the theoretical level, it seeks to reclaim the Weberian concept ofkadijustiz, which refers to “formally irrational” legal systems. In recent decades, scholars have engaged in a process of “blaming” that discredited the conceptualization of Islamic law askadijustizand resulted in the concept's erasure from socio‐legal theory. After renaming it to the more neutral and non‐Orientalistrichterjustiz, we employ this new‐old concept to analyze Israel's ecclesiastical courts and demonstrate its theoretical and analytical merits. The article concludes with several theoretical propositions, which draw on the empirical case study and contribute to the refinement of Weberian theory.

“…British victory in 1917 led to military control, but by 1920, a civil administration commanded by High Commissioner Sir Herbert Samuel had been established. On July 24, 1922, the League of Nations granted Britain a Mandate over Palestine (Karayanni, 2018).On August 10, 1922, the Palestine Order-in-Council was adopted. This legislation was intended to function as a "Constitution" for Mandatory Palestine.…”

The main purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the Israeli criminal justice system and highlight its unique features for both the United States (U.S.) criminal justice sciences and the global criminal justice systems. To accomplish this goal through qualitative methods, this study utilizes recent scholarly research papers written not only by the national scholar of Israel but also by international scholars who have conducted research concerning Israel. Additionally, this study suggests some unique features of Israel’ criminal justice system for the (U.S.) criminal justice systems and other countries' criminal justice systems.

“…Israel is a state with a deeply divided society, comprised of multiple religious, national, and ethnic communities and with a power structure that is rooted in ethnonational divisions (Karayanni, 2018;Ariely, 2021). This ethnonational hierarchical structure is premised, primarily, on the identification of the primary political nation with the ethnoreligious Jewish nation.…”

In this article, we examine the special challenges posed by the practice of polygamy to minority women, focusing on the ways that the state and the women confront the related experiences of violence and trauma associated with this practice. Based on analysis of both policy and interviews with women, we demonstrate the tension between the different mechanisms adopted by the state as opposed to those adopted by the women themselves. We suggest that the concept of ontological security is valuable for a deeper understanding of the range of state motivations in cases related to minority women, violence, and the right for protection. Our case study is the Bedouin community in Israel. We explore the relationship between individual and state-level conceptions of violence and trauma and the complex relationship between these two. We examine state discourses of ontological security through a gendered lens, as frameworks of belonging and mechanisms of exclusion.
