Abstract

Religion is an important dimension of social life. When studying dispersed communities is possible to notice how religion, as well as other means of socializing, performs a relevant function in the process of identity formation of these immigrants/migrants (SABAR, 2004, p. 408). In the particular case of Israel, for all the judeo christian religious connotation attributed to the State and the region, especially by evangelical churches that were established by illegal immigrant workers in the country, the role of religion in identity formation of immigrant communities takes new meanings and deserve a detailed assessment.
