ABSTRACT
Is Judaism a religion or a nationality? Can a person claim Jewish nationality and, at the same time, no religion? Does conversion from Judaism prevent an individual from emigrating to Israel under the Law of Return?These questions were recently considered by the Israeli Supreme Court, and the judgments rendered are translated in this volume. Palestinian and Israeli statutes concerning immigration, nationalization, and registration are interpreted by the judges.
