    “I Killed Her Because i Loved Her Too Much”: Gender and Violence in the 20th Century Sephardi Diaspora Devi Mays Mashriq & Mahjar: Journal of Middle East and North African Migration Studies, Volume 2, Number 1, 2014, (Article) Published by Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/779856/summary [ Access provided at 24 Sep 2021 10:34 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] Mashriq & Mahjar 2, no. 1 (2014), 4-28 ISSN 2169-4435 Devi Mays1 “I KILLED HER BECAUSE I LOVED HER TOO MUCH”: GENDER AND VIOLENCE IN THE 20THCENTURY SEPHARDI DIASPORA Abstract Thousands of Ottoman Jews emigrated in the early years of the twentieth century to Western Europe and the Americas, disrupting established social, economic, and familial structures. Drawing on an array of press sources, court cases, and correspondence from the expanding Sephardi world, this article argues that violence is a critical lens for understanding connections between gender and migration. For some male Sephardi migrants, gendered physical and verbal violence became a means of responding to the upheaval of migration, of reasserting control, and of reinscribing their masculinity. Meanwhile, some female migrants drew on transnational family networks and migration as a means of extricating themselves from abusive husbands. In doing so, male and female Sephardi migrants alike contributed to shaping conceptions of the relationship between gender and violence in their new geographical contexts while simultaneously

That message was clear to the 20-strong Canadian delegation that marched into the stadium and past the viewing stands where Hitler greeted athletes at the 1936 Olympic Games. “It is very meaningful for us to be here,” said Tali Dubrovsky, national executive director of Maccabi Canada. “We’re going to walk by the place where Hitler sat…and did not allow Jewish athletes…and it’s meaningful for us to do so after so many years.” Jeremy Freedman stands with the flag outside Berlin's Olympic Stadium. The Canadian participants were led into the stadium by flag bearer Jeremy Freedman. Freedman competed in golf at the 2005 Maccabiah Games in Israel and again in 2013. He has been active in the Maccabi movement since 2005. Freedman had no desire to visit Germany, given its historic treatment of the Jews, but when he learned the opening ceremonies would be held in the same stadium as the 1936 Olympics, he got on board.

  • 2020 CGA Awards Program
    2020 College Gymnastics Association Awards Program CGA AWARDS PROGRAM 2020 1 Statement from CGA President Mike Burns As we try to navigate through these new and unsettled waters, we all need to find our own ways to stay positive and manage this uncharted territory. One thing I know about the gymnastics community I’m proud to be a part of – we are resilient, we are innovative, we are positive, and we will rise above what ever adversity that gets in our way. In our world of NCAA Men’s Gymnastics, we have suffered a tremendous blow to the 2020 season with all the shutdowns and cancelations around the country. In a little over a week the world we knew was turned upside down.
