Ayelet Shaked - Judges, Lawmakers, and the Future of Israeli Conservatism - JLC 2018

Presented by MK Ayelet Shaked at the 2018 Conference on Jews and Conservatism on October 28, 2018.
Israel is a democratic and Jewish State, and responsible public servants need to nurture both of these national goods. But for the last several decades, Israel’s democratic character has been challenged by its Supreme Court, whose unelected judges have arrogated to themselves legislative functions that do not belong to them, effectively supplanting the democratically elected lawmakers of the Knesset. Israel’s activist judiciary threatens the freedoms of Israeli citizens. Since 2015, Ayelet Shaked has served as Israel’s Minister of Justice, and she joins us in New York to lay out her vision for reestablishing the Knesset as Israel’s democratically elected legislative branch, for restoring the Israeli balance between Jewish and democratic principles, and for instituting the conservative reforms that Israel needs for effective governance.
