Why religious voters could tip the scales in Israel's election

Will religious Jewish determine the results in Israel's election? With just 25 days to go and each electoral bloc desperate for the final push to reach a 61-seat majority, Israel's national religious community faces surprisingly tough choices. Which parties could be attractive to moderate religious right-wing voters in Israel? Why did the ultra-nationalist Jewish supremacist party call itself Religious Zionism, and why is it doing so well in all electoral surveys? To answer these questions, Overdose hosts Anshel Pfeffer and Dahlia Scheindlin talk with Yair Ettinger, religious affairs commentator for Israel's Kan news, and author of The Great Split, a new book about the dilemmas defining and dividing the national religious community in Israel today.
