** Israel’s religiously divided society ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

Pew Research Center surveyed Israelis ([link removed]) in 2014 and 2015 and found deep religious divisions in society – not only between Israeli Jews and the country’s Arab minority, but also among the religious subgroups that make up Israeli Jewry.
