  • Hizballah's Vision of the Lebanon-Israel Border by Avi Jorisch
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 368 Hizballah's Vision of the Lebanon-Israel Border by Avi Jorisch Mar 4, 2002 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Avi Jorisch Avi Jorisch is an adjunct scholar of The Washington Institute and author of its new monograph and CD-ROM Beacon of Hatred: Inside Hizballah's al-Manar Television (2004). As the Institute's Soref fellow from 2001 to 2003, he specialized in Arab and Islamic politics. More recently, he served as an Brief Analysis n February 28, Hizballah fired 57mm antiaircraft missiles at Israeli planes flying over the Shebaa Farms O area. According to Hizballah information officer Hassan Azzedin, "the current line of Israeli withdrawal ('blue line') is not consistent with the international boundary and not recognized by the Lebanese government. That's why we're pursuing the path of resistance." Indeed, Hizballah claims that Israel continues to occupy sovereign Lebanese territory, and the organization makes this claim the basis for what it considers legitimate resistance. What, then, is Hizballah's vision of where the Lebanon-Israel border should lie? Background Between 1920 and 1924, French and British negotiators delineated the border between Le Grand Liban and Mandatory Palestine. After the 1948 war, the Lebanese and Israelis established the Armistice Demarcation Line (ADL), which coincided with the 1924 international border. From 1982 to 2000, Israel occupied a section of southern Lebanon, and, upon his election in July 1999, then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak announced his intention to withdraw the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) from Lebanon, which he did on May 25, 2000. Before the Israeli withdrawal, Hizballah maintained that if Israel were to retain even "one inch of Lebanese land," resistance operations would continue.

    WESTERN WALL ַה ּכֹו ֶתל ַה ַּמ ַעָר ִבי The Western Wall, known as the Kotel, is revered as the holiest site for the Jewish people. A part of the outer retaining wall of the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, it is the place closest to the ancient Holy of Holies, where only the Kohanim— —Jewish priests were allowed access. When Israel gained independence in 1948, Jordan controlled the Western Wall and all of the Old City of Jerusalem; the city was reunified in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Western Wall is considered an Orthodox synagogue by Israeli authorities, with separate prayer spaces for men and women. A mixed egalitarian prayer area operates along a nearby section of the Temple’s retaining wall, raising to the forefront contemporary ideas of religious expression—a prime example of how Israel navigates between past and present. SITES AND INSIGHTS theicenter.org SHUK ׁשוּק Every Israeli city has an open-air market, or shuk, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothing, appliances, and souvenirs. There’s no other place that feels more authentically Israeli than a shuk on Friday afternoon, as seemingly everyone shops for Shabbat. Drawn by the freshness and variety of produce, Israelis and tourists alike flock to the shuk, turning it into a microcosm of the country. Shuks in smaller cities and towns operate just one day per week, while larger markets often play a key role in the city’s cultural life. At night, after the vendors go home, Machaneh Yehuda— —Jerusalem’s shuk, turns into the city’s nightlife hub.

  • Educational Guide for Teachers
    Visions of Place: Complex Geographies in Contemporary Israeli Art Educational Guide for Teachers Introduction Israel is a complex, fascinating country, the significance of which, for many people, far outweighs its tiny size and population. Yet many in the United States know relatively little about Israel in general, and, particularly, about its vibrant contemporary expressions of art and culture. With this exhibition of the works of a diverse group of 36 contemporary Israeli artists, the curators hope to provide viewers with a rich artistic experience, as well as a series of lenses through which to view and to better understand the complexities of the country as represented through the perspectives of its contemporary artists. The central theme of this exhibition is geography—the relationship to place, in its physical, personal, social, religious, historical, and other manifestations. Geography, conceived in this broad sense, is an inescapable part of Israeli life, its psyche and art, and issues in relation to geography are some of the most pressing in the contemporary world. The exhibition is divided into five sections: The Past in the Present People in the Land Contested Geographies Interventions: From Destruction to Healing Diverse Identities Curricular Connections Visions of Place - Museum Education Program and Teacher’s Guide Activities: The identification of applicable National Arts Education Standards, New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards, key terms, website resources, and appropriate post-visit activities will serve teachers as a guide in extending the value of the gallery experience into the classroom both before, and after your visit. Since suggested activities and discussions must be described to cover a broad range of grade levels, all will likely need some modification or adaptation to meet the needs and capabilities of your individual students and/or your curriculum.

This Pesach really lent itself to a good overseas trip with two long weekends and the well-placed Chagim. On looking through "Places not yet Visited," Italy stood out. So near — only a 3-hour flight - and with all the components for a great holiday. I called my friendly travel agent and in no time had arranged a lovely apartment for four nights in the heart of Tuscany — Rada in Chianti - you've probably never heard of it (neither had I!!!). We landed in a great setting with beautiful views, lovely walks, quaint towns, and of course, wonderful restaurants of all types and descriptions. It's really a great way to spend a vacation, renting a villa in Tuscany or a room in a villa. In the main, they are not serviced, no food, but reasonably priced and a great base for exploring the whole area. It's only 2.5 hours drive from Rome or Milan and 30 minutes from Florence, where we spent the fifth night.

  • Staring Back at the Sun: Video Art from Israel, 1970-2012 an Exhibition and Public Program Touring Internationally, 2016-2017
    Staring Back at the Sun: Video Art from Israel, 1970-2012 An Exhibition and Public Program Touring Internationally, 2016-2017 Roee Rosen, still from Confessions Coming Soon, 2007, video. 8:40 minutes. Video, possibly more than any other form of communication, has shaped the world in radical ways over the past half century. It has also changed contemporary art on a global scale. Its dual “life” as an agent of mass communication and an artistic medium is especially intertwined in Israel, where artists have been using video artistically in response to its use in mass media and to the harsh reality video mediates on a daily basis. The country’s relatively sudden exposure to commercial television in the 1990s coincided with the Palestinian uprising, or Intifada, and major shifts in internal politics. Artists responded to this in what can now be considered a “renaissance” of video art, with roots traced back to the ’70s. An examination of these pieces, many that have rarely been presented outside Israel, as well as recent, iconic works from the past two decades offers valuable lessons on how art and culture are shaped by larger forces. Staring Back at the Sun: Video Art from Israel, 1970-2012 traces the development of contemporary video practice in Israel and highlights work by artists who take an incisive, critical perspective towards the cultural and political landscape in Israel and beyond. Showcasing 35 works, this program includes documentation of early performances, films and videos, many of which have never been presented outside of Israel until now. Informed by the international 1 history of video art, the program surveys the development of the medium in Israel and explores how artists have employed technology and material to examine the unavoidable and messy overlap of art and politics.
