Clive Marks, one of the most well-respected and visionary lay leaders of the British Jewish community, had been pivotal in bringing to­ gether some of the world's greatest Jewish scholars in May 2000 at the President's Conference at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His dream, and that of the Chief Rabbi, Professor Jonathan Sacks, was that that event should serve as a springboard for a series of con­ ferences throughout the Jewish world, designed to encourage dia­ logue and deepen understanding of contemporary Jewish issues. In considering where the first follow-up conference should be, where better than his home city of London? During the same period, Jonathan Ariel, then Executive Director for Jewish Renewal at the United Jewish Israel Appeal in London, was dreaming of coordinating a major conference for senior Jewish com­ munity leaders -both Jay and professional - to help establish Jewish education as a central priority for British Jewry. When UJIA and the Hebrew University learned of each other's plans, it seemed prudent to merge the two initiatives. and hence the shidduch was sealed. As the plans began to take shape, a team was built, led by Clive. Without him, the event would never have taken place- his ideas, his reputation and the funding he brought from the Lord Ashdown Char­ itable Settlement were all critical in turning our dreams into reality. He also helped to build a lay team, chaired by Allan Fisher and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iX coordinated by Michael Gee and Anthony Spitz from the Friends of the Hebrew University UK, and Professor Leslie Wagner CBE, Michael Goldstein and Tony Danker from UJIA. All of these people gave up considerable amounts of time to help select and invite the speakers, build the programme, and construct the event. Their contri­ bution was priceless and their commitment infectious. In addition to the lay team, a group of committed professionals worked with me in the office on a day-to-day basis, offering me support and, in truth, doing the bulk of the work. Shalom Orzach, Jonathan Ariel's successor at UJIA and my teacher, guide and mentor, was always inspiring and helpful, and lent his considerable experi­ ence and expertise to the entire endeavour. Andrea Mail of the Friends of the Hebrew University and Syma Weinberg from the Office of the Chief Rabbi were also heavily involved, and were an ever-present source of help and advice. The staff team at UJIA Renewal deserves a special mention. Lira Winston, Lisa Capelouto and Dr Raphael Zarum offered more un­ conditional support and advice than I could ever have wished for. Zoe Matthews and Ruth Etzioni deserve particular thanks for all their administrative support; Gila Sacks offered me several sharp and valuable insights, all of which influenced the final programme; and Ruth Silver was a truly exceptional professional throughout, and pulled together the event with great expertise. In the aftermath of the conference, as we began work on this pub­ lication, two people contributed their time and expertise. Gitta Zarum transcribed the entire event, and Anne Joseph both began the editing process and helped me to design the final product. We elected to publish summaries rather than the full proceedings because we wanted people to gain easy access to the wealth of ideas that were presented during the three days of the conference. Conference pro­ ceedings often remain in the realm of academia; our intention was to do everything possible to bring academic thought into the day-to-day world of Jewish community education. In our search for a publisher, Professor Barry Kosmin at the Insti­ tute for Jewish Policy Research was an incredibly helpful source of X THE SOVEREIGN AND THE SITUATED SELF advice, and pointed us in the right direction. We eventually encoun­ tered Paul Forty and Andrew Franklin of Profile Books, who, together with my colleague Zoe Matthews, worked with exceptional profes­ sionalism, dedication and patience to produce this book. My last thank you is reserved for the conference presenters - all of the remarkable individuals who travelled to London in spring 2002 and gave the British Jewish community the benefit of their wisdom and insight. Particular thanks are due to those who came from Israel at that time - the conference took place during an extremely tense period there, and it is never easy to be away from family and friends at such times. Somehow, they all managed to lift themselves out of the extraordinary realities of day-to-day Israel, and to engage fully in the questions that punctuated our deliberations. To them, and to the families who had to be without them for a few days, a genuine and heartfelt todah. Jonathan Boyd Conference Director I t INTRODUCTION THE SOVEREIGN AND THE SITUATED SELF: JEWISH IDENTITY AND COMMUNITY IN THE 21sT CENTURY Jonathan Boyd wo concepts sit at the heart of the Jewish community's delibera­ Ttions about its future today, and both took centre stage at the UJIA-Hebrew University Conference that took place in London in 2002. The first, 'the sovereign self', describes the state of identity in much of the western world, certainly in the decade leading up to 11 September 2001. Sociologists and thinkers such as Robert Putnam, Robert Bellah, Zygmunt Bauman and, in the Jewish world, Steven M. Cohen, have written extensively about the notion of radical individualism. They maintain that people have become increasingly individualised, increasingly caught up in their own individual needs, concerns and quests for meaning, and as a result, increasingly iso­ lated and alone.

  • Jewish Subcultures Online: Outreach, Dating, and Marginalized Communities ______
    JEWISH SUBCULTURES ONLINE: OUTREACH, DATING, AND MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in American Studies ____________________________________ By Rachel Sara Schiff Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Leila Zenderland, Chair Professor Terri Snyder, Department of American Studies Professor Carrie Lane, Department of American Studies Spring, 2016 ABSTRACT This thesis explores how Jewish individuals use and create communities online to enrich their Jewish identity. The Internet provides Jews who do not fit within their brick and mortar communities an outlet that gives them voice, power, and sometimes anonymity. They use these websites to balance their Jewish identities and other personal identities that may or may not fit within their local Jewish community. This research was conducted through analyzing a broad range of websites. The first chapter, the introduction, describes the Jewish American population as a whole as well as the history of the Internet. The second chapter, entitled “The Black Hats of the Internet,” discusses how the Orthodox community has used the Internet to create a modern approach to outreach. It focuses in particular on the extensive web materials created by Chabad and Aish Hatorah, which offer surprisingly modern twists on traditional texts. The third chapter is about Jewish online dating. It uses JDate and other secular websites to analyze how Jewish singles are using the Internet. This chapter also suggests that the use of the Internet may have an impact on reducing interfaith marriage. The fourth chapter examines marginalized communities, focusing on the following: Jewrotica; the Jewish LGBT community including those who are “OLGBT” (Orthodox LGBT); Punk Jews; and feminist Jews.

  • The Transformation of Tallitot Rebecca Shulman
    9 The Transformation of Tallitot: How Jewish Prayer Shawls Have Changed Since Women Began Wearing Them By Rebecca Shulman "For some time, Frieda Birnbaum came to morning prayer at the Orthodox Lincoln Square Synagogue with a tallit* in her briefcase. She had been scared to take it out and put it on. She had been scared to buy it. ("For my nephew," she mumbled to the salesman.) Davening** alone at home, she wore the tallit. But she couldn't summon up the courage to wear it in shul and would end up “shlepping” it on the subway to her job as a computer programmer. One morning, Frieda Birnbaum said to herself: "Dammit! If I can daven in my tallit at home, I can sure as hell daven in my tallit in shul!" And she did. A friend of hers arrived, and she did too. These were the first women known to wear tallesim*** in shul in the New York area. Revolutionary heroines."1 In the early 1970s, as the women's movement was gaining strength in the United States, Jewish women were simultaneously struggling for equal rights within the Jewish community. The tallit helped to define this struggle: by putting on tallitot women loudly and visibly proclaimed themselves equal members of the Jewish community. By changing the appearance of prayer shawls -- by wearing tallitot of colorful silks, for example -- women claimed these ritual objects as their own. There has been an ongoing debate in the Jewish community about whether appropriation of male-associated rituals and objects is a fitting or useful way to demonstrate equality.

  • Case Studies of Democracy
    Freedom #2 – Case studies of Democracy Introduction While a People may choose to be free from religion in its governance, so too a People may choose to be allow religion to play a free role within the nation’s governance. And if this governance is freely elected by the People, then this too is a form of freedom. When the State was founded in 1948, the Declaration of Independence became the mission statement of Israel. One of the intentions was to preserve the “Jewish character” of the State while also preserving the freedoms of the variety of people living here, Jews and non-Jews alike: “The State of Israel will be open for immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles…it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex…it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture and will safeguard the Holy places of all religions.” (Declaration of Independence, 1948) How does Israel maintain the Jewish character of the State, while also maintaining freedoms? When there are different opinions about what “Jewish character” should look like, it can be challenging to create a unified governing body to preserve that character with many Jewish perspectives equally represented. Culturally, however, Jewish traditions and sacred text play a central role in public life. There is one weekly day off in Israel – the Jewish Sabbath on Saturday. There is no public holiday at Christmas, New Year’s, or Easter: rather, Chanukah, Pesach, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Sukkot are the Israelis’ holidays.
