Department, Haifa University ItItR3DUCTION 1 by Wosef BUrg The society in the seventies and eighties is faced with two JR -Oig challenges - a social one and an ecologicalone. Ecological issues often lead to a paradox.For example industry, creates ecological hazards, butat the time prod es the means by 41....e which these hazards may be overcome.: There area few features which characterize the Israeli society, damelyt a) 92% of he d belongs to the government. As a result of this, ,regional and urban plannir6 can be performedwithout too many . disruptions. The hasty development of industries sinc;-theestablishment of theState resulted in the'establishmeniof industrial plants all e ; over the country with very little consideration'ofenvironmental issues. c) Most of the woulatiori is concentrated ina few urban centres, such as theTel Aviv area. This concentration creates severe problems-of air pollution, water pollutionetc. In recent years considerable progresshas beenmade in dealing with the quality of our environment, includingthe allocation of resort areas, nature reserves, restoration ofthe Kineret etc. Efforts have been made by the government toredistribute the population and direct people to areas suchas the Gallilee.' .A Ministers Comm tee fd;;Environmental Quality andan Envirohmental Protectibn S ice have been established.Yetr.perhaps,the'major vehicle to the preserVation of ourenvironment is education. Education in schools, at home and through youthmovements should make special efforts to create a public which understandsits responsibilities toward our environment and behaves . accordingly. THe fate of our environment is ip our hands- let's not defeat ourselves! 0 4 .1 5 ea, A ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATIOil - SOURCES -MO.TFOPS BY P. Teirtir introbuctioe° ./ In the last five years there is a grdwing concern o1 the public in -) environmental problems. At the same time the demyld for environmental education is steadily growing.Studying the environment and environ- mental education shouldnot be substituted for each other. The study of the environment deals with the whole complex of problemg issues and aspects of the interrelationship betwpen man and his environment includingon the one hand "philosophical views about Man and his destiny and'whether the environment as presently established directs Man to his destiny" and on the other hand suchpradti!cal issue\as waste disposal" (Ben David, 1972). The scientific literature, as well as the pdpular literature and the newspapers arell of studies and articles dealing with environmental lity and the dander15olts abuse to mankind. Public organisations, gov nments, municipalities, research and industrial institutions have given `environmental problems a,high priority. This high interest-in-the . environment has reached Isra?1, too, as evidenced by the twoNationdl Cohferences on Environmental Quality held in Jerusalem in 1971 and19921 as well as by,theyestablishment of the Environmental Protection Sdrvice under the auspices of the Prime Minister Office. In the Second Conference a variety of stbdieswre presently on topics such as pollution standards (air, water lanO,food pollution) toxicology of dagerousgases (i.e. CO), health and medical implications of pollutiOn, ppstidldes, 4rban planning, nature reserves, recreation zones etc. At the same time dficussions and deliberationi regarding priorities in

  • Gift Exchanges During Marriage Rituals Among the Italian Jews in the Early Modern Period: a Historic-Anthropological Reading
    GIFT EXCHANGES DURING MARRIAGE RITUALS 485 Roni WEINSTEIN Pisa University, Dept. of Modern and Contemporary History Università di Pisa, Dipartimento di Storia, Sezione Moderna e Contemporanea GIFT EXCHANGES DURING MARRIAGE RITUALS AMONG THE ITALIAN JEWS IN THE EARLY MODERN PERIOD: A HISTORIC-ANTHROPOLOGICAL READING RÉSUMÉ De la fin du XVe siècle au milieu du XVIIe, les communautés juives d’Italie furent le lieu d’un débat halakhique sur les présents du fiancé à sa promise. À l’arrière-plan de ce débat figurait la règle talmudique selon laquelle le fondement du mariage ré- side dans le don que fait le fiancé d’un bien à sa future épouse. Les aspects légaux de cette question n’expliquent toutefois qu’en partie la durée et l’âpreté de ce débat. La pérennité de cette coutume, parmi les juifs italiens, en dépit des résistances non moins durables des juifs venus d’ailleurs, est liée à la fonction des présents dans les rituels locaux du mariage. L’étude des écrits consacrés à cette question — ouvrages classiques ou actuels d’inspiration anthropologique — confirment le lien étroit de cette pratique avec les divers aspects de la culture locale: conceptions relatives à la richesse et à la propriété, à l’honneur et à l’identité; contrôle communautaire sur les rituels du mariage et sur l’ensemble de la vie familiale. SUMMARY From late 15th century to mid 17th century an Halakhic debate — about gifts con- ferred from the groom to the bride — was conducted in Jewish-Italian communi- ties. The background for this debate was the Talmudic ruling that marriage was ba- sically created by conferring some property from a man to a woman, his intended wife.

  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

Up to a point. One of the most sobering passages in the Torah is the one right after the Song of the Sea that tells us what happened a mere three days after having witnessed the spectacular events at the Sea.

  • Architecture for Positive Peace: the Role of Architecture in the Process of Peacebuilding Within Conflict and Postwar Contexts
    ARCHITECTURE FOR POSITIVE PEACE: THE ROLE OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE PROCESS OF PEACEBUILDING WITHIN CONFLICT AND POSTWAR CONTEXTS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati The School of Architecture and Interior Design Of the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture By Venus Suleiman Akef March 2019 i ARCHITECTURE FOR POSITIVE PEACE: THE ROLE OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE PROCESS OF PEACEBUILDING WITHIN CONFLICT AND POSTWAR CONTEXTS Venus Suleiman Akef University of Cincinnati 2019 ABSTRACT This dissertation introduces architecture as an active platform in the process of structural conflict transformation for positive peace in post-war and conflict contexts. It is an interdisciplinary research in which architecture operationalizes the theories of peace and peacebuilding. Architecture for/of positive peace is also a response to the United Nations’ objectives in its 2030 agenda for sustainable development through a subject as distinct as architecture and relates it to the process of conflict transformation and sustainable peacebuilding. This research is initiated by questioning whether architecture can be employed as an active platform for positive peace. Further, it considers the role of architecture in the process of peacebuilding, its key devices, and operating characteristics. This dissertation analyzes both the existing discourses of ‘architecture and war’ and ‘architecture and peace’ to derive a set of themes and implications that reveal the role of architecture in the process of peacebuilding in post-war and conflict contexts. The research emphasizes theories of peace and peacebuilding, specifically the propositions of Johan Galtung and John Paul Lederach from the discipline of peace studies, in the aim of building a theoretical ii framework for peacebuilding through which it is possible to activate the role of architecture for positive peace.

Institute for National Security Studies The Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), incorporating the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, was founded in 2006. The purpose of the Institute for National Security Studies is first, to conduct basic research that meets the highest academic standards on matters related to Israel’s national security as well as Middle East regional and international security affairs. Second, the Institute aims to contribute to the public debate and governmental deliberation of issues that are – or should be – at the top of Israel’s national security agenda. INSS seeks to address Israeli decision makers and policymakers, the defense establishment, public opinion makers, the academic community in Israel and abroad, and the general public. INSS publishes research that it deems worthy of public attention, while it maintains a strict policy of non-partisanship. The opinions expressed in this publication are the authors’ alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Institute, its trustees, boards, research staff, or the organizations and individuals that support its research.
