  • India - Israel Relations
    India - Israel Relations India formally recognised Israel on September 17, 1950. Soon thereafter, the Jewish Agency established an immigration office in Bombay. This was later converted into a Trade Office and subsequently into a Consulate. Embassies were opened in 1992 when full diplomatic relations were established. Since the upgradation of relations in 1992, defence and agriculture have been the main pillars of bilateral engagement. In recent years, ties have expanded to areas such as S&T, education and homeland security. The future vision of the cooperation is of a strong hi-tech partnership as befits two leading knowledge economies. Political ties between the two countries are friendly. The last visit at the level of President/Prime Minister was by the then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who visited India on a state visit in September 2003. There have been frequent Ministerial level exchanges. While Home Minister, Shri. Rajnath Singh visited Israel in November, 2014, the Israeli Agriculture and defence ministers visited India in January and February, 2015 respectively. Economic and Commercial Relations From US$ 200 million in 1992 (comprising primarily trade in diamonds), bilateral merchandise trade has diversified and reached US$ 5.19 billion in 2011. However, the past few years have seen a decline in total trade due to the global economic recession. In 2014, the bilateral trade stood at US$ 4.52 billion. Trade in diamonds constitutes over half of bilateral trade. India is Israel's tenth largest trade partner overall, and Israel's third largest trade partner in Asia after China and Hong Kong. In recent years, the bilateral trade has diversified into several sectors such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture, IT and telecom, and homeland security.

  • Indians in Israel India Is One of the Rare Countries in the World Where Jews Have Never Experienced Anti-Semitism
    CoverStory Jews of Two Worlds: Indians in Israel India is one of the rare countries in the world where Jews have never experienced anti-Semitism. Indian Jews now living in their “fatherland” of Israel share nostalgic memories of their rich history and culture in India. By ROBERT HIRSCHFIELD “I am happy to have had the recog- nition in my life of my two countries, India and Israel, my motherland and my fatherland,” said eighty-two year old Eliyahu Bezalel, winner of India’s Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award (2006) for overseas Indians. Remembering a day in Cochin when he was a boy of 10, he said, “I got up in class and shouted anti-British slogans. The teacher beat me and threw me out of the class.” The old man laughed, and in laugh- ing became a young man. The Indian- radio-technician-turned-Israeli-farmer, famous for his achievements in green- house flower gardening, marveled that his greenhouse in Israel was visited both by former Indian Prime Minis- ter H.D. Deve Gowda and Israeli Prime Minister and legendary first leader David Ben-Gurion. Eliyahu left Cochin in 1954, at age 25, excited by the thought of becoming a new man in the new Jewish state.

  • On Diversity and Identity Among Indian Jews by Prof. Shalva Weil
    A course under MHRD scheme on Global Initiative on Academic Network (GIAN) On Diversity and Identity among Indian Jews by Prof. Shalva Weil Course Venue: Date: 23-31 January 2017 Time: 4:00-7:00 PM Overview The Jews of India represent a miniscule minority residing in harmony among Hindus, Muslims and Christians for generations. India is the only place in the world where Jews never suffered antisemitism, except during the Portuguese colonial period, as will be demonstrated in the course. The three major Jewish communities – the Bene Israel, the Cochin Jews, and the ‘Baghdadi’ Jews – retained their faith in monotheism in a polytheistic environment, whilst at the same time, being influenced by caste and religion in their daily practices. In the final analysis, Indian nationalism and global politics decided their fate. Today, most Indian Jews live in the state of Israel. However, their impact on Indian society was great, whether in the field of the arts, the military, commerce or in the free professions. The course throws new light on the diversity of India’s Jewish communities, spinning the unique narratives of each community. It includes in the discussion the temporary sojourn of 1 European Jews, who fled the Holocaust to India. In addition, it touches upon an increasing global phenomenon of weaving “Israelite” myths whereby the Shinlung of north-east India, today designated the “Bnei Menashe”, are migrating to Israel, and new Judaizing groups are emerging in India, such as the “Bene Ephraim” of Andhra Pradesh. The course provides a critical analysis of the position of the Jews in India both synchronically and diachronically.

  • India – Israel Relations
    India – Israel Relations Political Relations On 17 September 1950, India announced recognition of Israel. Soon after India’s recognition of Israel, the Jewish Agency established an immigration office in Bombay. This was converted into a Trade Office and later a Consulate. Following decision to establish diplomatic relations, Israel opened its Embassy in Delhi in February 1992 and India opened its Embassy in Tel Aviv on 15 May 1992. Since then relations have seen rapid growth across a broad spectrum. Bilateral 2012 marks the 20 th anniversary of the establishment of full diplomatic relations between India and Israel. The relationship has thrived on the common bedrock of parliamentary democracy, Common Law structures, liberal system of education, knowledge of the English language and a history of British colonial rule. The relationship also benefitted from similar strengths in the knowledge industry and highly qualified scientific and technical manpower. The long and peaceful Jewish presence in India and presence of 70,000 Indian Jews in Israel further made things easier. India is a destination of choice for over 35,000 Israelis who visit India every year for tourism and business. Bilateral Visits Since the establishment of Embassies, a large number of ministerial visits have taken place. The period since 1992 has been utilized to put in place the framework of normal state-to-state relations, including agreements and MOUs in diverse areas of cooperation. Important high level recent visits include the following: From Israel: Minister of

  • The Concept of "Religion" in the Supreme Court of Israel
    The Concept of "Religion" in the Supreme Court of Israel Aaron R. Petty* [L]egal principles may have a strong relationship to a particular religious heritage-a relationship which is so deep that we do not always recognize it.t INTRODUCTION Fifteen years ago, Joseph Dan reminded us that "there is no 'neutral' linguistic expression, one which does not reflect various layers of cultural and conceptual meanings."' Legal discourse is no exception. "The cultural study of law shows that legal controversies and legal reasoning often reflect underlying cultural perceptions." 2 And how law accounts for, responds to, and is imbued with cultural phenomena is far more important than "mere abstract intellectual exercises"' that the lack of neutral expression may cause in other disciplines. In law, cultural conceptions and common understandings are "embedded in passionate social disputes on which the law of the state pronounces."' So where the language of law is imbued with common terms and concepts, and neutrality is assumed rather than demonstrated, "it is not . a harmless affair."' * B.A., Northwestern University, 2004; J.D., University of Michigan Law School, 2007; M.St., University of Cambridge, 2012; Ph.D. candidate, University of Leiden.

    Association of Jewish Libraries REVIEWS November/December 2015 Volume V, No. 4 In The Spotlight Adler, David A. Hanukkah Cookies with Sprinkles. Illus. by Jeffrey Ebbeler. Springfield, NJ: Apples & Honey Press, 2015. 32 pp. $17.95. (9781681155005). Preschool–Gr. 2. Sara lives in a big city (New York?) in an apartment she shares with her mother and grandmother. She watches from the window as her mom goes to work. One day, she sees an old man in a yellow, green, and red plaid coat. He picks up a bruised apple from the discarded pile near Sol’s Market. As Sara eats her breakfast, she wonders if the man is hungry. As she shares Shabbat dinner with her mother and grandmother, she wonders if he’s lonely. Step by step, Sara, her family, her classmates, and her synagogue community demonstrate small acts of kindness: a packed lunch one day leads to a succession of food for the man to eat. As Hanukkah approaches, Sara makes a menorah at school. Her menorah from last year, as well as candles, latkes, and Hanukkah cookies with sprinkles, are left for the man. But that’s not all. The man, whom the rabbi introduces as Morris Berger, is invited for Shabbat/Hanukkah dinner. After dinner, Morris teaches magic tricks to Sara and tells lots of stories about the time when he worked in the circus. Morris, who was a stranger and has now become a friend, will be invited for many more dinners. Oftentimes, stories about giving tzedakah (charity) are heavy-handed and pedantic. Then along comes a jewel of a story that shows how this mitzvah enriches the giver as well as the receiver.
