(JERUSALEM POST) -- A vast majority of Jews in Israel (70%) don't accept that someone can be Jewish by patrilineal descent, according to a newly released poll by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI).
The poll is the IDI's biennial statistical report on religion and state and comes ahead of an annual conference. It serves as an in-depth look at the balance between religion and state that is so central to Israel and Israeli society.
In addition to focusing heavily on the role of Shabbat in Israel, a considerable part of the report focused on questions relating to Jewish identities, such as who should be defined as a Jew and conversion.
