Abstract
The first Department of Sociology was formed, in Jerusalem, in 1948. It was first chaired by Martin Buber , who ushered in his Jewish German romantic nationalist world view. In 1950 his heir was Shmuel Noah Eisenstadt , who ushered in the American modernization paradigm . Eisenstadt is crowned as the founding father of Israeli sociology , which, between the 1950s and 1970s, was mostly concerned with the question of the integration of new immigrants in the national mold.
