Nadine, some return Wikipedia for you regarding the secular state of Israel:

"The state of Israel forbids and does not approve of any civil marriages or non-religious divorces performed by the secular Israeli Jews within the country. Because of this many Israelis choose to marry outside of Israel."

"Challenges from the left and right
The Chief Rabbinate is nevertheless under constant criticism and pressure from both the "left" and "right" wings of Judaism and Jewish groups. Many secular Israelis dislike the fact that their private lives are subject to the rulings of a religious court, albeit a Jewish one."
