| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article argues that Menachem Begin’s religious ideology shaped many of his decisions in both domestic and foreign policy from his days as commander in the pre-State underground through his two terms as Israel’s prime minister. A traditionalist approach toward Judaism, in contrast to secularist streams of Zionist thought that previously prevailed, was central to his actions and won him the political support that propelled him into power. |
