The State of Israel recognizes all religious schools, at every level, whether they are publicly funded or privatized. The state has taken on a "melting pot" mentality to education, meaning they back all religious schools and teachings of religions as long as they follow the mandated structure set by the Ministry of education. Religion plays a large role in the education of all students in Israel.〔Educational Stratification among Arabs and Jews in Israel: Historical Disadvantage, Discrimination, and Opportunity Barbara S. Okun and Dov Friedlander Population Studies, Vol. 59, No. 2 (Jul., 2005), pp. 163-180 Published by: Taylor & Francis, Ltd. on behalf of the Population Investigation Committee Article Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/30040454〕 == Religious studies in Schools == Israeli state schools all share a ministry of education, however Arab and Jewish schools are largely segregated with most Arab students going to Arab schools and most Jewish students going to Jewish schools. Similarly, Arab schools have primarily Arab teachers who teach Hebrew only as a second language. The divide in Israeli schools based on ethnic identification leads to a divide on religious studies taught in schools, with the state backing both methods of teaching. In Israeli Jewish schools, Judaism is seen as a part of the heritage and culture of Israel and so the teaching of Jewish holidays and religious practices is seen as crucial to the understanding of the state. The Torah and other Jewish practices are studied in a critical manner to understand the identity of a majority of the Israeli population. In fact bible education is so important in Israel that in 2007 the "Public Committee for Bible Education" was established to further encourage the teachings of the bible in order to close the growing gap between the secular and religious members of society. In this way state non religious schools are still being taught the general guiding principles of the majority of Israel's society.〔Asher, Maoz. "Religious Education in Israel."
