  • Nation Making in Russia's Jewish Autonomous Oblast: Initial Goals
    Nation Making in Russia’s Jewish Autonomous Oblast: Initial Goals and Surprising Results WILLIAM R. SIEGEL oday in Russia’s Jewish Autonomous Oblast (Yevreiskaya Avtonomnaya TOblast, or EAO), the nontitular, predominately Russian political leadership has embraced the specifically national aspects of their oblast’s history. In fact, the EAO is undergoing a rebirth of national consciousness and culture in the name of a titular group that has mostly disappeared. According to the 1989 Soviet cen- sus, Jews compose only 4 percent (8,887/214,085) of the EAO’s population; a figure that is decreasing as emigration continues.1 In seeking to uncover the reasons for this phenomenon, I argue that the pres- ence of economic and political incentives has motivated the political leadership of the EAO to employ cultural symbols and to construct a history in its effort to legitimize and thus preserve its designation as an autonomous subject of the Rus- sian Federation. As long as the EAO maintains its status as one of eighty-nine federation subjects, the political power of the current elites will be maintained and the region will be in a more beneficial position from which to achieve eco- nomic recovery. The founding in 1928 of the Birobidzhan Jewish National Raion (as the terri- tory was called until the creation of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in 1934) was an outgrowth of Lenin’s general policy toward the non-Russian nationalities. In the aftermath of the October Revolution, the Bolsheviks faced the difficult task of consolidating their power in the midst of civil war. In order to attract the support of non-Russians, Lenin oversaw the construction of a federal system designed to ease the fears of—and thus appease—non-Russians and to serve as an example of Soviet tolerance toward colonized peoples throughout the world.

  • Overnight Jewish Camp in North America 2017
    OVERNIGHT JEWISH CAMP IN NORTH AMERICA 2017 HIGHLIGHTS FROM FOUNDATION FOR JEWISH CAMP 2017 OVERNIGHT CAMP CENSUS Steven M. Cohen Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion 1 ABOUT THE 2017 CAMP CENSUS The 2017 Camp Census portrays several important features of the nonprofit overnight Jewish camp sector in North America. The eighth annual Census was conducted by the Foundation for Jewish Camp (FJC), in partnership with JCamp180, Jewish Community Center Association (JCCA), Union for Reform Judaism (URJ), National Ramah Commission (Ramah), and Association for Independent Jewish Camps (AIJC). This report focuses on some key measures of overnight Jewish summer camps: the campers and enrollment patterns, revenues, expenditures and more. It differentiates among camps of varying size by numbers of campers and budget, as well as denominations, movements and regions of North America. On occasion, the text below refers to comparisons with previous censuses, implemented and reported on by JData through 2015, and conducted by Prof. Steven M. Cohen in 2016. Generally, where we could reliably estimate over-time change from previously published findings to the 2017 data set, the estimated changes were small and incremental. Out of concern for some challenges to comparability between the 2017 and earlier Census reports, and recognizing the very small changes that are readily visible, this text focuses both upon the most notable findings from 2017, drawing only occasional comparisons with the prior Census reports (particularly last year, summer 2016). This report refers to camping “Movements.” On the Census questionnaire, camps reported their movement affiliations. Throughout this report, we have combined a few of the responses, in part, to increase the sample size in a few categories.
