  The prohibition against pigs is one of the most powerful symbols of Jewish culture. This title explores how the historical sensitivity of Jews to the pig prohibition was incorporated into Israeli law and culture. It offers a decade-by-decade discussion of the relationship between law and culture since the inception of the Israeli nation-state.
