  • Patterns of Immigration and Absorption
    Patterns of Immigration and Absorption Aviva Zeltzer-Zubida Ph.D. [email protected] Director of Research, Evaluation and Measurement, Strategy and Planning Unit The Jewish Agency for Israel Hani Zubida Ph.D. [email protected] Department of Political Science The Max Stern Yezreel Valley College May 2012 1. Introduction Throughout the course of its modern history, Israel has been perceived as an immigration state. From the first days of the ―new Yishuv,‖ at the end of the nineteenth century, the development of the Jewish society in Palestine has been dependent on immigration, first from Eastern European countries, later from Central Europe and, immediately after the establishment of the state in 1948, from the Middle East. The centrality of immigration to the reality of Israel, to the nation, to the Israeli society, and to the Jews who came, can be appreciated from the Hebrew word coined to describe it, ―aliyah,‖ which means ascending, but this is much more than just verbal symbolism. Immigration to Israel, that is, aliyah, in effect implies rising above one‘s former status to assert one‘s Jewish citizenship and identity. Jewish ius sanguinis1 thus trumped all other issues of status and identity (Harper and Zubida, 2010). As such, there are never “immigrants” to Israel, but only Jews returning home, asserting their true identity and, as codified in Israel‘s right of return and citizenship laws, their legitimate claim to residence and citizenship. Thus, by this logic, Israel is not an immigration state, but is rather the homeland of the Jewish People. In this article we start with a survey of the major waves of immigration to Israel dating back to the pre-state era and review the characteristics of the various groups of immigrants based on earlier studies.

  • 2017 Report Century
    THE COMMUNITY REPORT 2016–2017 TO CENTURY We’ve lifted lives shared dreams and brought our community together. OUR FIRST Today, we’re more vibrant and inclusive than ever. OUR SECOND CENTURY FRIENDS, DEAR The launch of our second century was a historic opportunity to pursue the ideas, investments, and innovations that bring meaningful impact to the communities we serve. Since 1917, our forward-thinking mindset has been coupled with a readiness to continuously learn from our experience. That’s how we’ve arrived at a UJA that is more inclusive and agile than ever before, poised to advance our community in ways that our founders could never have imagined. What hasn’t changed over these past 100 years? The sense of responsibility for Jews and people in crisis, wherever they may be, and the conviction that when we come together, we can do so much more than when we stand apart. Those same values guided our response to multiple crises in late summer and fall 2017. After neo-Nazi groups marched in Charlottesville, a delegation of New Yorkers traveled to Virginia to offer emotional support to a deeply shaken Jewish community. In the wake of widespread devastation wrought by Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma, we sent experts and vital resources to Texas to aid recovery efforts and dispatched lifesaving supplies to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. A Year of Strengthening Jewish Community Many will also remember this as a year of growing political divisiveness. As a much-needed antidote, we stood above the fray, offering safe spaces to talk with civility about difficult issues and generating opportunities to transcend difference and build kehilla — from Shabbat dinners to widely attended community conversations.

  • THE STATE of ISRAEL 70 YEARS of INDEPENDENCE - Building a Nation
    1 The Zionist General Council Session XXXVII/4 THE STATE OF ISRAEL 70 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE - Building a Nation October 2018 2 Plenary No. 1 - Opening of the Zionist General Council Session Eli Cohen opened the first session and thanked the members of the audit committee and praised the auditor and his team, who - in their attempt to reach a level of satisfaction, which all can find to be acceptable - see all the flaws and improvements. Rabbi Yehiel Wasserman was invited to the stage for a ceremony conferring honorary fellowships to various members for their activities in the Zionist movement and their significant contribution to shaping its path and activities. This year, thanks to the WZO’s extensive activity over the past decade, quite a few people will be receiving this status. Honorary fellows are highly motivated individuals who have devoted many years of their time to the Zionist movement and who are role models for the next generation. Rabbi Wasserman then thanked the members of the Committee for Honorary Fellows: Barbara Goldstein, Silvio Joskowicz, Dalia Levy, Karma Cohen, Hernan Felman, Jacques Kupfer and Nava Avissar, the committee’s coordinator, for their dedicated work. Honorary Fellows: Mrs. Ana Marlene Starec – Mrs. Starec has been active in the Zionist movement for the past 54 years. She has been serving as Honorary President of WIZO for many years now and is also engaged in advocacy activities for Israel in the Diaspora in general, and with the Jewish communities of Brazil, in particular. Her human rights activities earned her a medal from the state of Rio de Janeiro, and she has also received a medal from the French Senate for her activities for humanity.

  • CAUTION: ZIONISM! Essays on the Ideology, Organisation and Practice of Zionism
    CAUTION: ZIONISM! Essays on the Ideology, Organisation and Practice of Zionism Yuri Ivanov Moscow Progress Publishers 1970 Contents Preface I Myth and Reality II "A Time to Cast Stones and a Time to Gather Stones Together" III Roofless Labyrinth IV Crossroads V Caution: Zionism! To fellow countrymen and foreign comrades whose kind advice has been of such help. Yuri Ivanov Preface Gone are the days when the enemies of the young Soviet republic fervently awaited the collapse of the world's first workers' and peasants' state. The Land of Soviets proved its viability in the face of armed intervention and its magnificent performance in the life- and-death struggle against the nazi hordes already belongs to history. Gone, indeed, are many of the illusions harboured by the enemies of communism, but not their hatred and their intention to continue the struggle with all the means that remain at their disposal. Lenin held that it was the fundamental duty of the Soviet press to make a concrete analysis of the forces acting against communism, however secondary they might appear at first glance. This book makes a study of modern Zionism, one of the most tenacious, though veiled varieties of anti-communism. Meir Vilner, Secretary of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Israel, wrote in a letter to Soviet journalists in January 1968: "Zionism is, alas, a 'forgotten' question but nonetheless a most actual one. ." How right he is! For a long time many champions of Zionism were sparing no efforts to make Zionism appear nothing more than an obsolete term.

It focuses on gaps in the fragmentary autobiographical texts written by Shimon Samet, a native of the town, who became an accomplished professional journalist in Israel, and reconstructs miss- ing pieces of narrative about Samet’s brother and about the Zionist micro universe of transition and training sites in Galicia of the early 1920’s. It points to significant explanatory possibilities gained by identifying such gaps in personal and commemorative narratives. Keywords Shimon Samet, Żółkiew, Galicia, Mandatory Palestine, Israel, Sygniówka, Chlebowice, Zionist movement, memorial book, small scale analysis, sites of transition, omissions Collecting biographical material about a particular town in a particular period offers many opportunities to compare overlapping accounts and different perspectives for the same events. This kind of project, which can take many different forms and shapes, also highlights the different levels of data availability and personal documentation within the population under consideration.
