Jewish Fundamentalism and the Temple Mount, to be published by the State University of New York Press, examines a central aspect of religious radicalism. It centers on attitudes within religious Jewish society in Israel toward the Temple Mount, and the idea of establishing the Third Temple. The study also examines those Christian churches, mainly American, that share the vision of rebuilding the Temple. Motti Inbari is the first Post-Doctoral Associate at the newly created Schusterman Center for Israel Studies at Brandeis University. During the 2006-2007 academic year, Dr. Inbari was a Schusterman Visiting Israel Professor at the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Florida. He received his doctoral degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research deals with the impact of territorial compromises on Israel's radical right.
