A uniform civil framework
In fact, a broad civil framework could yield a wider and more varied expression of Jewish identity in that it recognizes different forms of Jewish expression in rituals even when these are not strictly Orthodox. These would include a variety of Jewish revival movements such as Reform, Conservative and even secular rituals which would draw on traditional elements in an atmosphere of freedom and an absence of coercion. This would facilitate greater identification with Jewish tradition.
For an expanded discussion see Shay Zarchi, as well as: Avishalom Wesreich, Pinhas Shifman, in a position paper by the Metzilah Center, p.40
A unique religious track alongside an official civil alternative > Although I think there is a need to develop a uniform civil framework, perhaps, in order to avoid undermining the traditional notion of the marriage, this framework does not need to be defined as marriage.

A unique religious track alongside an official civil alternative
We must maintain a recognition of religious marriage as the only principal route to marriage in this state. In addition, we must offer a civil alternative for registering a couple, called “matrimonial partnership”, which would be available to couples who cannot or do not want to get married according to religious law.
