Orígenes y presente del fundamentalismo judío

Abstract

As an answer to the question if certain Jewish orthodoxy, whose members are called ultra-religious, it can be considered a sort of fundamentalism, the different features of that group are described. Its beginnings can be found in the confrontation between the Haśkalâ movement and the conservatism. Although its number is not large, this group exerts a considerable influence in the State of Israel, where the pro and con religious positions have been radicalizing in the late decades up to becoming a danger for social life. Such a violence can rise the moment the political situation in the region could be stabilized.
