Educators themselves appear wary about Mr. Maoz’s intentions, yet skeptical regarding his ability to institute wholesale changes to the system.

教育工作者本身对毛兹的改革意图持谨慎态度,至今怀疑他是否有能力对教育体系进行大规模改革。

Nir, a father of two and high school teacher in the central city of Rishon Le’Tzion (where Likud won a third of the vote last month), says Israeli society has become less secular in recent decades and more religiously traditional, if not wholly Orthodox.

尼尔是两个孩子的父亲,也是中部城市里雄莱锡安(利库德党上个月在该市赢得三分之一的选票)的一名高中教师。他表示,近几十年来,以色列社会变得不那么世俗,传统的宗教变得更多,即使不完全是正教徒。

As such, he did not see a major problem increasing the hours devoted to Jewish identity or Torah studies – but not, he stressed, at the expense of subjects like English, math, or science.

因此,他认为增加用于犹太身份或教谕研究的时间并不会有什么大问题--但他强调,这并不是以牺牲英语、数学或科学等学科为代价的。

“The agenda of Maoz and the others [future government members] is clear, they don’t hide it. They’re missionaries who view secular society as an ‘empty vessel’ and Israeli secular identity as flimsy and weak,” says Nir, who asked to withhold his last name.

“毛兹和其他同僚(未来政府成员)的议程很明确,他们没有对其进行隐藏。他们是传教士,他们认为世俗社会是一艘‘空船’,以色列的世俗身份脆弱且不堪一击,”不愿透露姓氏的尼尔说。

“But how exactly will a minister or clerk in Jerusalem dictate to us what to teach or what topics are brought up in a classroom by the students themselves? At the end of the day, it comes down to one teacher standing in front of a class.”

“但耶路撒冷的牧师究竟将如何向我们发号施令,告诉我们应该在课堂上教什么,或者学生们应该提出什么话题?在一天结束之际,说到底是老师站在教室前面。”

Mr. Netanyahu, for his part, has already tried to assuage the public’s concerns, not just with regard to Avi Maoz’s agenda but the entire litany of concessions and powers that may be granted to his other ultra-Orthodox partners.

就内塔尼亚胡而言,他已经试图纾解公众的担忧,不仅是对阿维·毛兹的议程,还包括授予其他极端正统派盟友的一系列权力和妥协。

The potential changes floated so far include amending the Law of Return, which allows foreigners of Jewish descent to immigrate to Israel, on the grounds that many of them are not genuinely Jewish.

到目前为止,改革可能会涉及修改《回归法》,该法律允许有犹太血统的外国人移民到以色列。之所以进行修改是因为他们中的许多人不是真正的犹太人。

Some future government ministers have demanded revoking official recognition of Reform or Conservative Jewish conversion processes, an issue of particular importance to American Jewry.

一些即将上任的政府部长要求撤销官方对犹太教改革派或保守犹太派皈依过程的承认,这对美国犹太人来说是一个特别重要的问题。

There reportedly have even been calls to halt soccer matches and electricity generation on the Sabbath and increase the number of gender-segregated beaches.

据报道,甚至有人呼吁在安息日中断发电、禁播足球比赛,并增加男女隔离的海滩数量。

“Let me reassure you … there is and will be electricity on the Sabbath. There are and will be beaches for everyone. We will uphold the [religious] status quo,” Mr. Netanyahu said in a Knesset speech Dec. 15.

内塔尼亚胡12月15日在以色列议会发表讲话时说:“我向你们保证……每个安息日都会有电。现在和将来会有适合每个人的海滩。我们将维持(宗教)现状。”

“Everyone will live in keeping with their beliefs, there will not be a halachic [Jewish law] state here.”

“每个人都将按照自己的信仰生活,这里不会是一个犹太律法国家。”

For Mr. Netanyahu’s many secular supporters, the religious agenda promoted by his allies is perhaps not ideal, but understood as simply the price for regaining power.

对于内塔尼亚胡的许多世俗支持者来说,他的盟友推动的宗教议程或许并不理想,但可以简单地理解为重新掌权的代价。

“Sadly these are our partners, and I mean sadly,” says Yael Katzir, a secular mother in southern Israel who, despite the contours of the incoming government, does not regret voting Likud.

以色列南部的一位世俗派母亲亚埃尔·卡齐尔说:“不幸的是,这些都是我们的伙伴,非常不幸。” 尽管新政府即将上台,但卡齐尔并不后悔投票给利库德党。
