  • The Everyday Geopolitics of Messianic Jews in Israel-Palestine
    Title Page The everyday geopolitics of Messianic Jews in Israel-Palestine. Daniel Webb Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London. Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD, University of London, 2015. 1 Declaration I Daniel Webb hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Date: Sign: 2 Abstract This thesis examines the geopolitical orientations of Messianic Jews in Jerusalem, Israel-Palestine, in order to shed light on the confluence and co-constitution of religion and geopolitics. Messianic Jews are individuals who self-identify as being ethnically Jewish, but who hold beliefs that are largely indistinguishable from Christianity. Using the prism of ‘everyday geopolitics’, I explore my informants’ encounters with, and experiences of, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the dominant geopolitical logics that underpin it. I analyse the myriad of everyday factors that were formative in the shaping of my informants’ geopolitical orientation towards the conflict, focusing chiefly on those that were mediated and embodied through religious practice and belief. The material for the research was gathered in Jerusalem over the course of sixteen months – between September 2012 and January 2014 – largely through ethnographic research methods. Accordingly, I offer a lived alternative to existing work on geopolitics and religion; work that is dominated by overly cerebral and cognitivist views of religion. By contrast, I show how the urgencies of everyday life, as well as a number of religious practices, attune Messianic Jewish geopolitical orientations in dynamic, contingent, and contradictory ways.

  • My Aunt's Mamilla
    My father’s eldest sister has always served in My Aunt’s Mamilla my mind as a potential family encyclopedia. Helga Tawil-Souri “Potential” because I never had the opportunity to spend much time with her. She had come and visited us in Beirut once in the mid 1970s – I vaguely remember. My grandmother, with whom I spent much of my childhood, would often mention Auntie M. under a nostalgic haze, perhaps regret, that her first-born was so far away. That longing tone for her eldest led my other aunts, my father, and my uncles to joke that Auntie M. was their mother’s favorite. For years Auntie M. endured only in my imagination. Whatever tidbits I had caught about her were extraordinary, a fusion of new world mystery and old world obscurity. She lived in faraway places that sounded utterly exotic: Sao Paolo, Etobicoke, Toronto; that they always rhymed only added to their enigma. The haphazard trail I constructed of her life seemed improbable too: old enough to remember family life in Jerusalem; married and sent off to Brazil; had a daughter ten years older than me who didn’t speak Arabic. Auntie M. hovered behind a veil of unanswered questions: How old was she? Did my grandparents marry her off or did she choose to wed Uncle A.? How is one “sent” to Brazil? Could one even fly to Brazil back then? Did she flee with the family to Lebanon first? Did she really have another daughter besides the one I knew of? What happened to the other daughter? How did Auntie M.

Akingbe, Agricultural Attaché Approved By: Ali Abdi, Minister-Counselor for Agricultural Affairs Report Highlights: Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Israeli Hotel Restaurant Institutional (HRI) sector was generally stable.

In addition, the rapid construction of shopping centers encouraged growth in food service in retail centers. Institutional sales were strong and steady as a few large firms vied for control of a limited market. The impact of the COVID-19 on the Israel HRI sector has been nothing short of devastating. Due to restriction measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, the Israel restaurant and café sector estimates that during the first half of calendar year 2020, about 2,000 businesses have closed. Under the current scenario, the sector expects a total of 4,500 establishments will permanent.

This gap can be seen in traffic congestion and the low percentage of electricity production from renewable energy. Therefore, in 2017, Israel’s Minister of Finance appointed an inter-ministerial team to establish a national strategic plan in order to advance and expand investments in infrastructure projects.

During this period, over 27,000 attacks against Israeli citizens and residents have been recorded, and over 1000 Israeli citizens and residents have lost their lives in these attacks. Out of these, 155 (May 2007) attacks were suicide bombings, carried out against Israeli targets by 178 (August 2007) suicide terrorists (male and female). (It should be noted that from 1993 up to the beginning of the conflict in September 2000, 38 suicide bombings were carried out by 43 suicide terrorists). Despite the fact that suicide bombings constitute 0.6% of all attacks carried out against Israel since the beginning of the conflict, the number of fatalities in these attacks is around half of the total number of fatalities, making suicide bombings the most deadly attacks. From the beginning of the conflict up to August 2007, there have been 549 fatalities and 3717 casualties as a result of 155 suicide bombings. Over the years, suicide bombing terrorism has become the Palestinians’ leading weapon, while initially bearing an ideological nature in claiming legitimate opposition to the occupation.

  • Israel National Trail Passport
    Israel National Trail Passport The Israel Trails Committee issues Israel Trail Passports, allowing hikers to collect stamps as they reach points of interest along the trail. Accumulating stamps along the way intensifies the experience, leaving hikers with a souvenir of their adventures on the trail. ITC architect Gal Hart conceived the idea for the Israel National Trail Passport during his studies in the architecture department at Bezalel Art and design Institute in Jerusalem. He developed the concept for his final project, including a map with twelve stopping points. Each stopping point highlights a key architectural value. Hart presented his concept to the ITC and designed the passport and the stamps. There are now 27 stops where the people walking the Isreal National Trail can stamp the passport. Stamping Points include: 1. Israel Trail Committee. 2. Bet Ussishkin, Kibbutz Dan 3. Yanay Shaham, Kibbutz Dan, Trail Angel 4. Shlomi Flex, Kibbutz Yiron, Trail Angel 5. Mount Meron Field School 6.
