  • Florida Historical Quarterly
    COVER Two eastbound trains and passengers appear to be waiting at the Archer depot for a westbound train from Gainesville, ca. 1910. The wood-burning freight on the right has arrived from Cedar Key, while the coal-burning train on the left has come from the south. The line on the right is the original “Florida Railroad” built by Senator David Levy Yulee’s company. Originating in Fernandina, the line had reached Archer by 1859, and was completed to its terminus at Cedar Key in 1861. The line on the left was built to haul phosphate from the mines in the area and other freight. It eventually went all the way to Tampa. From the collection of Herbert J. Doherty, Jr. Gainesville.

We have analyzed Hamas’s statements and actions since its inception and have concluded that Hamas has indeed Hamas undergone significant political changes as well as certain slow, limited, and carefully calculated ideological shifts. It is now at the point where it is ready to explore arrangements that will allow it and Israel to coexist without episodic violence. Its ideological Rigidity and readiness is based on the framework of Islamic law (shari‘a) in which Hamas is embedded. Shari‘a both provides the basis for political Flexibility the political actions that Hamas can take and defines which actions are forbidden to it.

  • Florida Jewish History Month January
    Florida Jewish History Month January Background Information In October of 2003, Governor Jeb Bush signed a historic bill into law designating January of each year as Florida Jewish History Month. The legislation for Florida Jewish History Month was initiated at the Jewish Museum of Florida by, the Museum's Founding Executive Director and Chief Curator, Marcia Zerivitz. Ms. Zerivitz and State Senator Gwen Margolis worked closely with legislators to translate the Museum's mission into a statewide observance. It seemed appropriate to honor Jewish contributions to the State, as sixteen percent, over 850,000 people of the American Jewish community lives in Florida. Since 1763, when the first Jews settled in Pensacola immediately after the Treaty of Paris ceded Florida to Great Britain from Spain, Jews had come to Florida to escape persecution, for economic opportunity, to join family members already here, for the climate and lifestyle, for their health and to retire. It is a common belief that Florida Jewish history began after World War II, but in actuality, the history of Floridian Jews begins much earlier. The largest number of Jews settled in Florida after World War II, but the Jewish community in Florida reaches much further into the history of this State than simply the last half-century. Jews have actively participated in shaping the destiny of Florida since its inception, but until research of the 1980s, most of the facts were little known. One such fact is that David Levy Yulee, a Jewish pioneer, brought Florida into statehood in 1845, served as its first U.S.

  • Pizzagate / Pedogate, a No-Nonsense Fact-Filled Reader
    Pizzagate / Pedogate A No-nonsense Fact-filled reader Preface I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. —Trump Executive Order 13818, Dec. 20, 2017 Pizzagate means many things to many people, the angle of the lens may be different, but the focus zeros in on a common body of incontestable facts. The fruit of top researchers collected in this reader allows you to compare, correlate and derive a flexible synthesis to suit your needs. An era of wild contradiction is upon us in the press. The psychopathic rumblings that pass for political discourse bring the artform of infotainment to a golden blossoming. A bookstore display table featuring The Fixers; The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President versus Witch Hunt; The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History are both talking about the same man, someone who paid for his campaign out of his own pocket. There were no big donors from China and the traditional bank of puppeteers. This created a HUGE problem, one whose solution threatened the money holders and influence peddlers. New leadership and a presidential order that threw down the gauntlet, a state of emergency, seeded the storm clouds. The starting gun was fired, all systems were go, the race had begun. FISAs and covert operations sprang into action. The envelopes are being delivered, the career decisions are being made, should I move on or stay the course.

  • Abroad: Parshat Bamidbar) No 1627: 5 Sivan 5776 (11 June 2016
    Shabbat-B'Shabbato – Parshat Nasso (Abroad: Parshat Bamidbar) No 1627: 5 Sivan 5776 (11 June 2016) AS SHABBAT APPROACHES "His G-d's Crown is on his Head" – Princes and Receiving the Torah - by Esti Rosenberg, Head of the Midrasha for Women, Migdal Oz One experience stands out in my head from my formative years – as a young girl I was coming home from the synagogue, my nostrils filled with the heavenly odor of "cholent," while I had one request: "Let's make Kiddush!" This of course was the blessing over the wine which opened the way for us to have a piece of cake, with a glass of cold cola. And Abba at his own pace, with his shiny face and faith filled with meaning would reply, "That is the basic dilemma of our lives. Who is in control? Do you control your stomach, or does your stomach control you?" This reply continues to accompany me in my life wherever I go. Eventually I found my father's advice in the Midrash – that the lives of the righteous people remain in their own hands, as opposed to the evil ones, who are under the influence of their own hearts. I can see an extension of the same idea with respect to a "nazir," who takes a vow to refrain from wine or any grape products. It is written, "One who makes a wondrous vow" [Bamidbar 6:2]. Avraham Ibn Ezra comments, "It is a remarkable act, since most people follow their lusts... And the nazir moves away from his lust in order to serve G-d, since wine corrupts the soul." Ibn Ezra summarizes the process through which the nazir passes as follows: "Know that all human beings are slaves of their own lusts, and the King really sets a royal crown on the head of anybody who frees himself from lust." We all live in tension between the physical and the spiritual.
