Rules of Conflict of Laws in the Israeli Law

The submitted dissertation is exploring the rules of conflict-of-laws in the Israeli legal system. It does not only cover the rules of private international law but also inter-religious rules of conflict-of-laws. There is a special focus on religious legal systems, especially on Jewish law and its rules. The religious law in Israel does regulate rights of the personal status and therefore it imminent that conflicts between various religious legal systems as well as between religious and state law may occur.
