Hiloni
Hiloni (), plural ''hilonim'' (), derived from the Hebrew word ''hulin'', meaning "secular" or "mundane," is the term used in Israel for non-religious Jews, some of which identify with Jewish secularism and secular Jewish culture.
As citizens of Israel, ''hilonim'' generally speak Hebrew. As Israel defines itself as a Jewish state, many ''hilonim'' observe national holidays and customs, such as Israel's Independence Day, and Holocaust Remembrance Day.
==History of secularism in Israel==
The concept of modern-day political Zionism, in itself, was founded largely upon secular beliefs and values. Theodor Herzl, founder of the modern Zionist movement, was an assimilated Austrian Jew. At first, most of those immigrating to Palestine were Orthodox Jews who moved due to the holiness of the Land of Israel and their wish to be buried in Jerusalem (due to the belief that the Messiah will resurrect those interred in Jerusalem before the rest of the world). With the onset of numerous pogroms throughout Eastern Europe, some Jews moved to the Holy Land—"made aliyah"—citing security, freedom of religion, and strong Zionist affinities. During the first wave (1882–1903) of Zionist aliyah, and especially during the Second Aliyah (1904–1914) the Jewish population of Ottoman Palestine, consisting mainly of secular or nontraditional Jews, greatly increased. These immigrants and their offspring founded cities such as Tel Aviv and established kibbutzim inspired by socialist theory, which was not necessarily connected to Judaism as a religion or a set of values. As the number of new immigrants increased, so did the proportion of secular Jews. Up to and during the establishment of the State of Israel, the number of religious Jews was relatively minor.
In 1987, the breakdown of Jews in Israel was estimated to be 45% secular, 35% "traditional" (not strictly observant, mostly Sephardic), 15% Orthodox (''dati'') and 5% Haredi (ultra-Orthodox).〔Thomas L.
