Haim Zicherman, a senior lecturer at the Ono Academic College (OAC), is an expert in constitutional and property law and also researches the ultra-Orthodox society. His book Black Blue-White (Yedioth Books, 2014) takes a broad-minded approach to understanding the ultra-Orthodox society in Israel.

In recent years, Zicherman has coordinated the development and management of the ""Israeli Identity"" course available to all undergraduate students in Israel."
