The FOCA works with the administration at our seminaries to identify families who are in financial need. The FOCA connects these families with churches, organizations and individuals who volunteer to commit a set amount of monthly financial support. Depending on the need and as each family’s needs are met, the family next on the list is matched with remaining donors. This is one example of the FOCA’s commitment to our seminaries and the growth of the Orthodox Church. If you are interested in becoming a donor or learning more about the FOCA, please contact Becky Tesar at bjtesar@ gmail.com or talk to her after church. Hello, Archangel Michael family! My name is Matthew and I’m a first-year seminarian at St. Tikhon’s. My wife Christine and I have two children, a 10-year old girl, Abigail, and a five-year old boy, Aidan. My wife and I both converted to Orthodoxy 13 years ago shortly after we were married. Before coming to St. Tikhon’s, we attended St. Thomas the Apostle in Springfield, MO. While in Missouri, my wife worked as a Special Education teacher for middle school, and I worked as a specialized foster care case manager. Feeling a call to serve the Church, Christine and I decided last year that it was time to go to seminary. At St. Tikhon’s, my wife and I stay pretty involved. Christine sings in the mixed choir and takes classes with Benedict Sheehan on advanced music and conducting. I help teach the church school for teenagers. Thank you so much for your support! We are looking for both new and longtime parishioners to volunteer to be featured in our FACES OF THE PARISH section. Our main objective is not only to introduce new families to the parish, but to introduce our longtime members to our new families. Please contact the church office at [email protected] to volunteer! from the parish archives... St. Michael’s celebrated Christmas on January 7th following the old Julian calendar for many years. We began celebrating Christmas on December 25th in 1982 when the Orthodox Church in America officially changed to the revised Julian calendar. Though many Orthodox in the United States have made the switch, former Soviet Union, Middle Eastern Churches and several European countries tend towards the “old calendar”. Here in Cleveland, the Ukranian Orthodox and Serbian Orthodox still celebrate on January 7. The one feast day that is celebrated on the same day by all Orthodox Christians is Pascha, or Easter.

  • ORIGINS of the PALESTINE MANDATE by Adam Garfinkle
    NOVEMBER 2014 ORIGINS OF THE PALESTINE MANDATE By Adam Garfinkle Adam Garfinkle, Editor of The American Interest Magazine, served as the principal speechwriter to Secretary of State Colin Powell. He has also been editor of The National Interest and has taught at Johns Hopkins University’s School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS), the University of Pennsylvania, Haverford College and other institutions of higher learning. An alumnus of FPRI, he currently serves on FPRI’s Board of Advisors. This essay is based on a lecture he delivered to FPRI’s Butcher History Institute on “Teaching about Israel and Palestine,” October 25-26, 2014. A link to the the videofiles of each lecture can be found here: http://www.fpri.org/events/2014/10/teaching-about- israel-and-palestine Like everything else historical, the Palestine Mandate has a history with a chronological beginning, a middle, and, in this case, an end. From a strictly legal point of view, that beginning was September 29, 1923, and the end was midnight, May 14, 1948, putting the middle expanse at just short of 25 years. But also like everything else historical, it is no simple matter to determine either how far back in the historical tapestry to go in search of origins, or how far to lean history into its consequences up to and speculatively beyond the present time. These decisions depend ultimately on the purposes of an historical inquiry and, whatever historical investigators may say, all such inquiries do have purposes, whether recognized, admitted, and articulated or not. A.J.P. Taylor’s famous insistence that historical analysis has no purpose other than enlightened storytelling, rendering the entire enterprise much closer to literature than to social science, is interesting precisely because it is such an outlier perspective among professional historians.

  • The Ndundulu Invasion –
    The Ndundulu Invasion – Chapter 14 – When I Was Young When Gapon entered the room Bongi felt the tension. His handler was always in a rush for answers and activities and he was always meticulous in his questions, monitoring and assessment routine. This was one of the things that Bongi could not argue against. Gapon was thorough in his job and followed the Manuals to their finer detail. The problem that Bongi found in this type of approach was that the handler did not go deep enough, and this was one of the issues he felt obliged to raise with Gapon. However, he was reluctant to do that because he knew there will be a backlash, and this was the last thing he needed in his life, that was very complicated at the moment, to say the least. If he raised issues of detail, he was sure Gapon would go into a tirade bordering on the hysterical, accusatory and authority-laden attitude that had become his trademark in their conversations .This was the reason Bongi felt that he should have used more strategic and pious attitude in the feed back sessions. Tonight Gapon seemed to be bothered about something that troubled him greatly and after he pulled the bottle and stashed it in the mini-bar without opening it, he sat on his usual place in the couch. He did not pose for a minute as he seemed absorbed in looking at the painting on the wall. He turned towards Bongi, his eyes searching his employee’s inner feelings. “Why did my father call me Gapon? What name is this, Prof?” “How old are you chief?” “Why do you ask?” “It took you over 50 year to ask such a question, Nkosi.” “I was busy all these years, Prof.” “I understand, so you’re telling me that after so many years in Moscow, Dresden, Sofia, Harare, no one explained.” “No one, Prof.” “Now you are telling me, a soldier, a decorated soldier who spent time with a bunch of educated Commies does not know why his name is Gapon.

  • Meiton-Electrical Palestine.Indd
    Introduction the unalterable order of electrical palestine Of course, most of us don’t know anybody who knows how any of it works. It’s background stuff —infr a means “below,” and a good bit of this “below-structure” actually runs below ground, out of sight, or above our heads in skinny little wires we don’t notice anymore; what isn’t out of sight remains out of mind— until it fails. —scott huler, On Th e Grid1 on a day in late may 1923, more than a thousand people descended on the Arab town of Tulkarm, a community of four thousand inhabitants perched at the top of the fragmented limestone promontory that connects Palestine’s hilly interior to its eastern Mediterranean coastal plain. For centu- ries, Tulkarm had served as a staging post for armies of conquest and, in more peaceful times, for regional trade. But the agitated multitudes fl ocking to the town on this late-spring day in 1923 were not looking to truck, barter, and exchange. Nor was the gathering in Tulkarm the only one taking place in the spring and summer of 1923: in Jaff a, Haifa, Jerusalem, Nablus—all over Arab Palestine—people were turning out in unprecedented numbers to discuss the same emergent threat. Th ey came to discuss the electrifi cation of Palestine.2 Four years earlier, in 1919, the renowned Jewish engineer Pinhas Rutenberg had turned up in Palestine with designs for a countrywide power system and promises of capital infl ux and industrial modernity. He arrived in a land of wretched poverty.

  • From the Balfour Declaration to the Palestine Mandate
    “AN OVERWHELMINGLY JEWISH STATE” - FROM THE BALFOUR DECLARATION TO THE PALESTINE MANDATE Martin Gilbert On 22 July 1922, when the League of Nations announced the terms of Britain’s Mandate for Palestine, it gave prominence to the Balfour Declaration. ‘The Mandatory should be responsible,’ the preamble stated, ‘for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 2nd, 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty…in favor of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people…’1 The preamble of the Mandate included the precise wording of the Balfour Declaration. Nothing in the Balfour Declaration dealt with Jewish statehood, immigration, land purchase or the boundaries of Palestine. This essay examines how British policy with regard to the ‘national home for the Jewish people’ evolved between November 1917 and July 1922, and the stages by which the Mandate commitments were reached. In the discussions on the eve of the Balfour Declaration, the British War Cabinet, desperate to persuade the Jews of Russia to urge their government to renew Russia’s war effort, saw Palestine as a Jewish rallying cry. To this end, those advising the War Cabinet, and the Foreign Secretary himself, A.J. Balfour, encouraged at least the possibility of an eventual Jewish majority, even if it might – with the settled population of Palestine then being some 600,000 Arabs and 60,000 Jews – be many years before such a majority emerged. On 31 October 1917, Balfour had told the War Cabinet that while the words ‘national home…did

  • The Zion Mule Corps
    2 The Zion Mule Corps The origin of the Zion Mule Corps and its association with the founding of the Jewish Legion is an important and vital part of the history of Russian Jewish service in the British Army. In Chapter 1 mention was made of Pinhas Rutenberg and Vladimir Jabotinsky, who shared the idea of raising a Jewish force under the aegis of the western Allies. They were not alone. Russian Jewish exiles living in Palestine and Turkey were also considering Zionist participation in the war, but on the Ottoman side. Two of the leading activists, David Ben-Gurion and Isaac Ben-Zvi (the pair were known as the ‘Benim’), both of whom were to play a crucial part in the formation of an independent Israel, then saw the future interests of Zion as being best served by assisting the Turks. They feared that the neu- trality officially espoused by the Zionist movement could discredit and endanger the Jews who had settled in Palestine under a benign Ottoman regime.1 The ‘Benim’ were socialist writers, journalists and publishers who had practised what they preached. By working on the land in Palestine following the rise of the ‘Young Turks’ in 1908, they demonstrated their belief that some sort of Jewish self-government in Palestine was more likely to be acquired by living there rather than by pursuing the cause at a distance through slow and complex diplomatic means. This was in marked contrast to the appreciation formed by Ahad Ha’am fol- lowing his visits to Palestine. He understood that local Arabs benefited from Jewish agricultural settlement, and that the Ottoman authorities were perfectly aware of the bribery and corruption of local Turkish officials that enabled the settlers to bypass some of the legal restrictions imposed upon them.

    SEWING THE SEEDS OF STATEHOOD: GARMENT UNIONS, AMERICAN LABOR, AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL, 1917-1952 By ADAM M. HOWARD A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2003 Copyright 2003 by Adam M. Howard ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The research and writing of this dissertation, spanning a period of five years, required assistance and understanding from a variety of individuals and groups, all of whom I wish to thank here. My advisor, Robert McMahon, has provided tremendous encouragement to me and this project since its first conception during his graduate seminar in diplomatic history. He instilled in me the courage necessary to attempt bridging three subfields of history, and his patience, insight, and willingness to allow his students to explore varied approaches to the study of diplomatic history are an inspiration. Robert Zieger, in whose research seminar this project germinated into a more mature study, offered tireless assistance and essential constructive criticism. Additionally, his critical assessments of my evidence and prose will influence my writing in the years to come. I also will always remember fondly our numerous conversations regarding the vicissitudes of many a baseball season, which served as needed distractions from the struggles of researching and writing a dissertation. Ken Wald has consistently backed my work both intellectually and financially through his position as the Chair of the Jewish Studies Center at the University of Florida and as a member of my committee. His availability and willingness to offer input and advice on a variety of topics have been most helpful in completing this study.

    EDITORIAL The contributions to this issue of the Jerusalem Quarterly coalesce around a Materiality and number of themes central to Palestinian experiences – the relationships between Ghostliness materiality and memory and between space and power. Two articles in this issue, Fredrik Meiton’s “Nation or Industry: The Non-Electrification of Nablus” and Dima Saad’s “Materializing Palestinian Memory: Objects of Home and the Everyday Eternities of Exile,” are the final pieces that JQ will publish from the sixth annual New Directions in Palestinian Studies workshop held at Brown University in 2018, thematically organized around “The Shadow Years: Material Histories of Everyday Life.” (Other articles that emerged from this workshop were published in the Autumn 2018 issue of the Journal of Palestine Studies and in the Autumn 2019 issue of the Jerusalem Quarterly.) Each, in its own way, focuses on the materiality of Palestinian experiences and their afterlives. Meiton, author of Electrical Palestine: Capital and Technology from Empire to Nation (University of California Press, 2018), reflects here on a “non-event” – the circumstances and decisions that resulted in the city of Nablus remaining disconnected from the electrical grid throughout the Mandate period. The Palestine Electric Corporation (PEC) was established by Pinhas Rutenberg, a Russian-Jewish engineer and Zionist to whom the Mandate authorities granted an exclusive concession to provide electrical power throughout Palestine. This linkage of electricity with Zionism meant that connecting to the electrical grid was always a politically contentious decision for Palestinians, and while Nablus’s politicians sought to negotiate work- Jerusalem Quarterly 80 [ 3 ] arounds that would allow for the electrification of Nablus as a joint venture of the PEC and the municipality, the PEC had little interest in pursuing such measures.

Through a critical examination of British government papers the thesis argues that the moment of the British Mandate in Palestine signalled a new phase in the development of British imperialism constituting a rupture with the colonialist past and the advent of a new type of imperialist relationship. The encounter between this new-imperialism which developed from the end of the nineteenth century and a Palestinian society which was in the process of transformation between a predominantly pre-capitalist agricultural society into a commodity producing capitalist one engendered a conflictual environment dislocating the economic, social and political structures that existed.

Gelvin, Chair This study examines British strategies for social control during the Arab revolt in Palestine in 1936–39. It focuses specifically on the British discourse of criminality vis-à-vis the Arabs, and the ways in which this discourse related to British and Zionist representations of Arab Palestinian nationalism. Its primary finding is that British imperial discourse in the 1930s necessitated that nationalist movements such as that for Arab Palestinian independence be criminalized in a particular manner. London tended in the nineteenth century to regard the nationalist movements within its colonial domains as essentially criminal enterprises. Given the terms of the post-WWI mandates system, however, the British were poorly positioned to suggest that Palestinian nationalists in general were criminally inclined. After all, the entire justification for the British ii presence in the Middle East was the shepherding of its peoples across the threshold of national autonomy.
