A uniform civil framework
In fact, a broad civil framework could yield a wider and more varied expression of Jewish identity in that it recognizes different forms of Jewish expression in rituals even when these are not strictly Orthodox. These would include a variety of Jewish revival movements such as Reform, Conservative and even secular rituals which would draw on traditional elements in an atmosphere of freedom and an absence of coercion. This would facilitate greater identification with Jewish tradition.

A unique religious track alongside an official civil alternative > Although I think there is a need to develop a uniform civil framework, perhaps, in order to avoid undermining the traditional notion of the marriage, this framework does not need to be defined as marriage.

A unique religious track alongside an official civil alternative
We must maintain a recognition of religious marriage as the only principal route to marriage in this state. In addition, we must offer a civil alternative for registering a couple, called “matrimonial partnership”, which would be available to couples who cannot or do not want to get married according to religious law.

We must ensure that in matters relating to marriage and divorce human rights are protected. We can achieve this through interpreting the spirit of Jewish law (Halacha) in a way that embodies a democratic approach.
For this purpose I have developed a model called “acknowledge, distinguish and derive”. According to this model, one must acknowledge the fact that human rights are being violated, distinguish between civil law and Jewish law, and derive inspiration and guidance for resolving the conflict from Jewish tradition. This model has been put to use in two court rulings, which I mention.
The prominence of human rights is derived from both democratic and Jewish principles. Therefore, the pervasive infringements of these rights justifies changing the current system, from both a democratic and Jewish point-of-view.

The family is an essential cultural component of Jewish identity. A Jewish state is obligated to uphold age-old traditions and therefore must only recognize a marriage that is sanctioned by Jewish Law (Halacha). There is no option to recognize marriage in any other way, but we can accept the idea of a couple’s partnership as a private legal entity.

The institution of marriage is not private but public and therefore reflects society’s perspectives on marriage and the family.
