We believe that legislation and other governmental acts which unite church and state are opposed to the best interests of both institutions and are potentially prejudicial to human rights. We believe that public authorities are divinely ordained to support and protect cit- izens in their enjoyment of natural rights, and to rule in civil affairs; in this realm public authorities warrant respectful obedience and willing support. We believe in the natural and inalienable right of freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right shall include freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of one’s choice; to change religious belief according to conscience; to manifest one’s religion or belief either individually or in community with others and in public or private, in worship, obser- vance, practice and teaching – subject only to respect for the equivalent rights of others. We believe that religious liberty also includes the freedom to establish and operate appropriate charitable, humanitarian or educational institutions, to solicit or receive volun- tary financial contributions, to observe days of rest and celebrate holidays in accordance with the precepts of one’s religion, and to maintain communication with those who share the same beliefs, individually or collectively in organized communities at national and international levels. We believe that religious liberty and the elimination of intolerance and discrimina- tion based on religion or belief are essential in the promotion of understanding and peace among peoples. We believe that citizens should use lawful and honorable means to prevent the re- duction of religious liberty, so that all may enjoy the recognition of their freedom of con- science. We believe that fundamental freedom is epitomized in the Golden Rule, which teaches that every human being should do to others as he would have others do to him. 5 CONSCIENCE AND LIBERTY Official publication of the International Association for the Defence of Religious Liberty Conscience et Liberté (French version) – Gewissen und Freiheit (German version) EDITORIAL OFFICE Schosshaldenstrasse 17, CH-3006 Bern, Switzerland Telephone: +41 (0) 31 359 15 31 Fax: +41 (0) 31 359 15 66 Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Managing Editor: Liviu OLTEANU Editorial Assistant (English edition): Laurence NAGY Proofreading (English edition): Shelley KUEHLWEIN EDITORIAL COMMITTEE Harald MUELLER, Judge, Doctor of Law; Germany Liviu OLTEANU, lawyer, human rights and religious freedom expert, PhD in Law cand. ; Switzerland Ioan Gheorghe ROTARU, jurist, Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of "eology; Romania Tiziano RIMOLDI, Rector of university, Doctor of Law, Italy COUNCIL OF EXPERTS Heiner BIELEFELDT, UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion and Belief, professor of human rights at the University of Erlangen Nuremberg, Germany - Michele BRUNELLI, professor at the University of Bergamo, UNESCO Chair, Italy - Jaime CONTRERAS, Vice-Rector of the University of Alcala de Henares, Spain - Ganoune DIOP, Director of Relations to the United Nations in New York and Geneva, associate director of the IRLA, university professor, USA - Petru DUMITRIU, Ambassador, Permanent Delegate of the Council of Europe to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland - W.

  • Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide
    Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide Opening Plenary Sponsored by to Find Common Ground Lynn and Les Bider Jodie and Steven Fishman Andrea and Glenn Sonnenberg Closing Plenary Sponsored by Sunday, January 26, 2020 Lori and Rob Goodman Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide to Find Common Ground Stephen Wise Temple is excited to host the first Southern California Z3 Conference. In a time of growing disconnect between the American Jewish community and Israel, Z3 provides a means through which the dialogue and mutual interdependence can be strengthened. We are two vibrant centers of Jewish life and our different yet complementary trajectories along the continuum of Jewish living provides each of our communities with strengths and insights that benefit us both. After 71 years of existence, the State of Israel has reached a population of seven million which is roughly equal to the size of the American Jewish community. The dynamic of the movement of immigrants back and forth (by choice) reveals that both nations provide both their Jewish inhabitants with meaningful and secure homes. At the same time, the episodic resurgence of tensions and the associated insecurity reminds us that ultimately we need each other. And yet, Jewish life is not just about responding to threats. Our communities possess vast resources of talent, wisdom, innovation, and are highly educated. We have the capacity to collectively solve the challenges of our world even as we build Jewish life. Z3 is about searching for ways that we can share our strengths, leverage our vast resources, and secure Jewish life for the foreseeable future.

On the one hand, the appeal by philosophy to messianism is conceived by many as a ‗turn‘ within postmodern thought broadly conceived towards a theology and ethics. On the other hand, there is the closely related consensus that Levinas‘ messianism is an expression of a certain ‗correlation‘ between ‗philosophy‘ and ‗Judaism‘, a correlation in which Judaism becomes the suppressed voice of conscience of the latter. We revisit some of the consensuses upon which these related understandings are based.

Her concerns seemed less arcane, her presentation more appealingly worked out; as Guy Scarpetta put it in he Nouvel Observateur (May 19, 1980), she now intro- duced into "theoretical rigor an effective measure of seduction." Actually, no sudden change has taken place: the features that are noticeable in Powers of Horror were already in evidence in several earlier essays, some of which have been translated in Desire in Language (Columbia University Press, 1980).

  • The Politics of Normalization: Israel Studies in the Academy Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements F
    The Politics of Normalization: Israel Studies in the Academy Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Miriam Shenkar, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Educational Policy and Leadership The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Robert F. Lawson, Advisor Matt Goldish Douglas Macbeth Copyright by Miriam Shenkar 2010 Abstract This study will examine the emergence of Israel studies at the university level. Historical precedents for departments of Hebrew language instruction, Jewish studies centers and area studies will be examined to determine where Israel studies chair holders are emerging. After defining Israel studies, a qualitative methodological approach will be used to evaluate the disciplinary focus of this emerging area. Curriculum available from and degree granting capabilities of various programs will be examined. In addition surveys taken of Israel studies scholars will provide their assessments of the development of the subject. Four case studies will highlight Israel studies as it is emerging in two public (land grant institutions) versus two private universities. An emphasis will be placed on why Israel studies might be located outside Middle Eastern studies. Questions regarding the placing of Israel studies within Jewish studies or Near Eastern Languages and Culture departments will be addressed. The placing of Israel studies chairs and centers involves questions of national and global identity. How these identities are conceptualized by scholars in the field, as well as how they are reflected in the space found for Israel studies scholars are the motivating factors for the case studies.
