"Israel has been unable to adopt a constitution full blown,
not because it does not share the new society understanding of constitution as
fundamental law, but because of a conflict over what constitutes fundamental law
within Israeli society. Many religious Jews hold that the only real constitution
for a Jewish state is the Torah and the Jewish law (halakhah) that flows from
it. They not only see no need for a modern secular constitution, but even see in
such a document a threat to the supremacy of the Torah and the constitutional
tradition associated with it that has developed over thousands of years to serve
the Jewish people in their land and in the diaspora.4"
"Israel should be considered another example of this model.
Israel is, in fact, formally committed to the adoption of a written
constitution. The first Knesset was elected as a constituent assembly and spent
considerable time debating whether or not to write a constitution. The body was
deadlocked as <b>the religious parties opposed the idea of a constitution
other than the Torah,</b> while the left-wing socialists were equally
opposed because they knew that any constitution that would emerge would not
embrace their Marxian vision of what the new state should be."
