Having just left a comment on Rachel's comment below, perhaps "trying to devise a single 'model'" would work better...?
If we examine the forms of individualism that exist in Israeli society [today], trying to choose a single 'model' for this new era poses a serious challenge.

: I think the first half of the sentence (up to "Israeli") is plural and the second singular, so your answer fits

Rachel Spencer
: I'm not sure this is the meaning here. To me it sounds like the 'grave problema' is about to be articulated. The sub-clause between commas refers either to la soc. Israeli or la/s forma/s de indiv., which could perhaps be used/taken as a model..

Thanks Rachel. I'm reading this as the ‘grave problems’ will be encountered trying to devise a 'societal model' that will serve to accommodate all, regardless of race, creed, political thinking, etc. Makes sense if you think about the situation there...

Discussion
The problem comes with "aquella" or "aquellas", but I think this should be singular since they're only talking about a model. Several models are not normally chosen for new era.
La reformulación de la frase propuesta por Aradai es correcta.

Espero que ahora esté más claro. Lamento no poder ayudarte con la traducción. Saludos!
