Summary/Abstract: The right to freedom of religion was also expressly provided for in the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel of May 14, 1948, which had and still has a constitutional value. This fundamental human right - provided both by jus divinum and jus naturale, as well as by jus scriptum - was also reaffirmed in the text of some fundamental laws that have a constitutional character, such as, for example, the Law on „human dignity and freedom”, from 1992; The Law on Freedom of Profession, from 1994, etc. A first collection of these fundamental laws, with constitutional value, was published under the name „Constitution of Israel” in 1958. All these fundamental laws, accompanied by amendments and additions to their text, were included in this Constitution. The fundamental human rights and freedoms are provided for in the first place in this Constitution, among which the freedom of religion occupies a dominant place.
