Additionally, all official state holidays and religious observances are under the Jewish calendar and according to Jewish Law. As well, only Jews may sit on the throne.
However, Yisrael guarantees freedom of religion through a self-regulating confessional system for recognized religious groups to handle their own religious affairs. All practices are permitted except those deemed in violation of the universal morality. Jews and Non-Jews are equally entitled to all rights and privileges under state holidays and secular laws. |
