Summary/Abstract: The book is the first publication on the Polish comparative literature market concerning the contemporary Israeli education system. The authors provide a thorough review of the latest literature on social and educational issues in Israel. The book comprises 10 chapters, an introduction, a conclusion, and an extensive bibliography, primarily written in English. The chapters are arranged in a logical scientific sequence, starting with a historical overview of the establishment and development of the State of Israel and ending with today's main problems. The authors focus primarily on education and its importance for the State of Israel, as well as on the problems of social stratification, multiculturalism, and educational innovation. The authors adopt an objective narrative, avoiding unnecessary emotional opinions above all, in the interests of preserving scientific truth and ethical research.Methodologically, the book is prepared according to Isaac Kandel's concept, which posits that the socio-cultural context sets the framework for scientific discourse in comparative education, as well as according to Georg Bereday's model for creating a comparative monograph.In-depth analyses and the author's reflections create the comparative “views” (Hebrew: nofim) contained in the title of the book."
