  • Dominic Ballard Oxford
    Dept of Neurosurgery, Hadassah Hospital / Hebrew University Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel Whilst planning my elective, I managed to distil my aims down to three fundamental themes: immersion in neurosurgery; exposure to a different health system; and the exploration of Israel. With my feet back on English soil I have come to realise how insightful my elective was and the privilege I was granted in being able to undertake it. Excitement aside, my arrival in Ben Gurion airport was shrouded in apprehension. I was to spend four weeks in neurosurgical unit of the world-renowned Hadassah Medical Centre, equipped with little more than a guidebook and an undergraduate grasp of neuro-anatomy. Fortunately, my first few days in Jerusalem were some of acclimatization allowing me to settle in before the placement-proper began. From my hostel in Davidka Square I ventured out, only to be overwhelmed by the vivacity and variety the city had to offer. I passed from the westernised new city under Jaffa Gate, to be greeted by the rich tangle of streets and alleyways which make up the old city. The Via Dolorosa, Holy Sepulchre, Damascus Gate… The venerable renown of these timeless places seemed so at odds with the modern-day souvenir stalls and falafel stands. I arrived at the Western Wall plaza just as the city prepared to welcome Shabbat, and was in awe at the holy fervour which built as the sun set. Jerusalem, in all her antiquity and modernity, was like no place I had ever seen, and I was fascinated. My first impressions of Hadassah Ein Kerem were dominated by the site’s enormity.

  • Undecided Past – National Identities and Politics of Diversity: the Mount Eytan Commemoration Site
    Undecided Past – National Identities and Politics of Diversity: The Mount Eytan Commemoration Site udi lebel Sapir College and Ariel University Center, Israel zeev drory Kinneret College, Israel in 1982 the israeli government launched a proposal to establish a national commemoration site on Mount Eytan. Despite intensive activity, the project was shelved in 2002. The article presents official discourses regarding memory, commemoration, and setting collective boundaries. It presents the theoretical arguments as well as conflicting processes in politics of memory in Israel, which occurred along a different axis and regarding different variables. Finally we discuss the social and political significance arising from the project’s management and in terms of creating consensus in an age of privati- zation, to the extent that projections can be made from an event of this nature. The museum is a cultural agent acting within national politics to manufacture representation of (subjects of) the past and ‘graft’ them as objects (Katriel 1997b, 147). Museums are sites where links between memory and history are created, in such a way that the sub-group which initiates the memory aspires, using a unique narrative, for its past to be transformed into the individual memory of each visitor (Katriel 1994, 1). Narratives of the past thus become relevant both for understanding the present and for internalizing recommended ways of coping with it (Katriel 1993, 69). If the process unfolds in a manner approved by the establishment, this sites will become state-supported museums that the public is encouraged to visit (Barena 1989, 118). Economic considerations, among others, propel many museums into the heart of consensus.

  • Why Visiting Israel?)
    1 Ricardo Motta Pinto Coelho & Consultores em Recursos Hídricos www.rmpcecologia.com [email protected] +5531 3517 9793 2 1.- Introdução (Introduction) A maioria dos brasileiros aprende ainda na escola elementar que esse é um país das infinitas águas. Afinal, temos a maior bacia hidrográfica do mundo, ou seja, o complexo sistema fluvial do rio Amazonas. E não é só isso. Outro grande rio, em escala mundial, o rio Paraná nasce e corre uma boa extensão em território brasileiro. A esses dois sistemas fluviais, de importância global, o país ainda dispõe de vários outros grandes rios (com mais de 1.000 km de extensão), várias províncias ou distritos lacustres, o pantanal, uma das maiores wetlands de toda a biosfera. Esses superlativos lotam os livros das escolas elementares brasileiras. No entanto, essa realidade esconde uma outra, menos ufanista. O Brasil sofre com a crescente falta de água. E não é na Amazônia, nem na bacia do rio Paraná. A água está escassa nas maiores cidades do país, espalhadas pelo planalto central e pelo litoral Atlântico. Nessas regiões, onde se concentra a maior parte dos 250 milhões de brasileiros, graças às mudanças climáticas globais, ao mau uso das águas, e à falta de uma boa governança das águas está faltando água! English Most Brazilians still learn in elementary school that this is a country of infinite waters. After all, we have the largest river basin in the world, that is, the complex river system of the Amazon River. This is not all. Another great river, on a world scale, the Paraná River is born and runs a good extension in Brazilian territory.

  • Israel 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    ISRAEL 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary This section covers Israel, including Jerusalem. In December 2017, the United States recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It is the position of the United States that the specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem are subject to final status negotiations between the parties. The Palestinian Authority (PA) exercises no authority over Jerusalem. In March 2019, the United States recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. A report on the West Bank and Gaza, including areas subject to the jurisdiction of the PA, is appended at the end of this report. The country’s laws and Supreme Court rulings protect the freedoms of conscience, faith, religion, and worship, regardless of an individual’s religious affiliation, and the 1992 “Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty” protects additional individual rights. In 2018, the Knesset passed the “Basic Law: Israel – The Nation State of the Jewish People.” According to the government, that “law determines, among other things, that the Land of Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people; the State of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish People, in which it realizes its natural, cultural, religious and historical right to self-determination; and exercising the right to national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish People.” The government continued to allow controlled access to religious sites, including the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif (the site containing the foundation of the first and second Jewish temple and the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque).

    chapter 1 Placing Jerusalemites in the History of Jerusalem: The Ottoman Census (sicil-i nüfūs) as a Historical Source Michelle U. Campos Over a decade ago, the distinguished Palestinian historian Rashid Khalidi pub- lished “A Research Agenda for Writing the History of Jerusalem,” in which he identified a number of notable problems in the then-extant historiography of the city: historical unevenness, an imbalanced emphasis on some subjects and communities, and significant thematic gaps in intellectual, religious, legal, urban, and demographic history.1 Since then, there has been a wave of impor- tant works on Ottoman Jerusalem addressing some of Khalidi’s desiderata. However, there is still much work that can and should be done.2 One of the 1 Rashid I.

  • Unfinished Tunnels in Hiding Complexes: Horvat ʻammudim in the Lower Galilee As a Case Study Yinon Shivtiel and Mechael Osband
    In the Highland’s Depth Volume 9, 2019, pp. 41*–51* DOI: https://doi.org/10.26351/IHD/9/9 ISSN: 2521-9456 (print) Unfinished Tunnels in Hiding Complexes: Horvat ʻAmmudim in the Lower Galilee as a Case Study Yinon Shivtiel and Mechael Osband Abstract Excavation of a subterranean tunnel discovered in a water cistern at Horvat ‘Ammudim revealed evidence of an unfinished hiding complex dated to the Roman period. The main findings of this excavation, directed by the authors of this paper, are presented here. Important evidence supporting the identification of the tunnel as part of an unfinished complex included oil lamp niches, the location of the tunnel in a cistern, and the overall similarity of the tunnel to similar subterranean complexes in the Galilee and in Judah. The subject of unfinished tunnels has rarely been addressed in the research on hiding complexes. Over seventy hiding complexes, most of them dated to the Roman period, have been identified in the Galilee (Shivtiel 2019, 97–210). These complexes were hewn out of the local rock, and while they vary in size, quality, and number of chambers, they all contain one or more low tunnels that can only be accessed by crawling and that are connected to chambers (for a brief preliminary description, see ibid., 197–198). In addition, they are all located near or within Jewish settlements. In this paper, we present a recently discovered and excavated hiding complex at the Jewish settlement of Horvat ʻAmmudim. This is a rare example of an unfinished hiding complex, a phenomenon that has not been investigated sufficiently.
