  • Jewish Philanthropy and Youth Activism in Post-Katrina New Orleans
    The Chosen Universalists: Jewish Philanthropy and Youth Activism in Post-Katrina New Orleans by Moshe Harris Gedalyah Kornfeld A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Stuart Kirsch, Chair Professor Ruth Behar Emerita Professor Gillian Feeley-Harnik Professor Deborah Dash Moore Professor Elisha Renne © Moshe Kornfeld 2015 DEDICATION To Rachel ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS While the analyses that constitute this dissertation are grounded in the dusty archives of Jewish institutional history and in the vibrant streets of New Orleans, this project first took shape in Ann Arbor as a result of the outstanding and ongoing support of my doctoral committee. I am grateful to my advisor, Stuart Kirsch, whose holistic approach to mentorship has helped me immeasurably at every stage of the process. I am continually inspired by Stuart’s thoughtful and efficacious integration of activist and anthropological commitments, and feel honored to have written this dissertation in conversation with him. I would like to express my boundless thanks to Deborah Dash Moore, whose keen and cutting insights helped me use my anthropological training to enter the Jewish studies debates close to my heart and to the heart of this project. Ruth Behar taught me to explore my own ethnographic subjectivities and to pursue the complex narratives woven together in my ethnography; if I have infused those aspects of the project concerned with potentially dry institutional histories with the vibrancy and urgency of debates about the very nature of Jewish life, then it is thanks to her.

  • Can the US Be “Othered” Usefully? on an International Anthropology of the United States
    Introduction Can the US Be “Othered” Usefully? On an International Anthropology of the United States Virginia R. Dominguez and Jasmin Habib his book raises a question and addresses a mystery. The primary ques- Ttion is whether the United States can be usefully “Othered,” and the mystery is why few social or cultural anthropologists outside the US seem to do long-term fieldwork in the US or consider the US their primary area of specialization. Since anthropologists as a whole study human group- ings and cultures throughout the planet, and this is true in many different locations around the world, the question is why not study the US? And since scholars in a number of other disciplines in many different parts of the world do indeed specialize in the study of the people and things of the US—literature, foreign policy, and history, for example—the question in part becomes one about anthropology itself. To put it directly, if not quite bluntly, here, we ask whether there is something about contemporary anthropology that this absence reveals.1 We consider this to be an issue of some importance and not just for anthropology. As we have explored this phenomenon over the past several years, it has become clear that a country of over 300 million people ought to command the curiosity and attention of more than a small number of colleagues, and that the colleagues who have indeed done extensive ethno- graphic fieldwork in the US deserve much more attention both inside and outside the US as specialists on the US than they seem to get, especially inside the US.

    From Sofia to Jaffa Guy H. Haskell, Raphael Patai Published by Wayne State University Press Haskell, H. & Patai, Raphael. From Sofia to Jaffa: The Jews of Bulgaria and Israel. Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2018. Project MUSE., https://muse.jhu.edu/.

CHAPTER 2 Cflze gmergence of Gufture One of the most important areas of settlement for the new im­ migrants was the moshavim (cooperative small holders agricultural settlements). Whether the immigrants were placed in homogeneous communities or not, these new settlements provided an ideal setting for the application of anthropological techniques; they were small, closed communities often consisting of one or more groups of the same lineage or place of origin. One of the earliest of these applica­ tions to appear in English was " Reciprocal Change: !\ Case Study of a Moroccan Immigrant Village in Israel" in 1962, by Alex Weingrod, an anthropologist at the Hebrew University in .Jerusalem. Trained in the United States, Professor Weingrod presently teaches at Ben­ Gurion University of the Negev. 1 This work would serve as a starting point for later studies, and provides a good example of the "moshav study" genre. The moshav is a unique type of planned village based on individ­ ual ownership of land, combined with communal services, marketing and purchasing, democratic village institutions, and a high degree of cooperation. Unlike the kibbutz, the basic social unit of the moshav is the nuclea• family.

  • Reflecting the Other – the Israeli-Palestinian
    „Secondary Conversions” – Transforming Religious and Ethnic Emblematics of Judaism and Jewishness International Conference of the Simon Dubnow Institute February 22 – 24, 2003 Outline for the Conference The international conference „‘Secondary Conversions’ – Transforming Religious and Ethnic Emblematics of Judaism and Jewishness” at the Simon Dubnow Institute for Jewish History and Culture at the University of Leipzig seeks to open new perspectives on questions of internal Jewish transformations from within the methodological dialogue between the Jewish historical sciences and approaches in cultural anthropology, ethnography and psychoanalysis. One focus is a renewed in-depth examination of the epistemic value and reach of fundamental concepts of Jewish transformation in modernity. Foregrounded here are concepts such as ‘emancipation,’ ‘assimilation’ and ‘acculturation’—notions which either describe political or cultural transformations of Jewish self-identity at the time or those which were subsequently (super)imposed on the historical phenomena at a later date. Another focus is the attempt to accentuate and bolster fresh conceptual fields in the realm of Jewish history, moored more on the cultural sciences, proceeding from a historicization of those basic concepts in terms of theory and the history of ideas. A central epistemic construct for internal Jewish processes of transformation is the conception of ‘secondary conversion.’ Utilizing the characteristic paradoxical connotation of such a ‘secondary’ conception of conversion and its dynamics, the more circumscribed interpretive field of the traditional episteme-guiding concepts of emancipation and assimilation, usually limited to phenomena of external transformation such as legal status or habitus, is amplified, extending to encompass transformational phenomena of eminently central components of Jewish self-identity: namely the elements of religion and the validity and impact at deeper levels of emblems and symbols of the sacred, liturgical and ritual, and as well as other significant codings of religiosity.

  • Special Articles Ethnic Differences Among Israeli Jews: a New Look
    Special Articles Ethnic Differences Among Israeli Jews: A New Look by U.O. SCHMELZ, SERGIO DELLAPERGOLA, and URI AVNER LISRAEL'S JEWISH POPULATION is made up of immigrants and cheir descendants from all over the world, most of whom came to the country only in the last few decades. Within this societal mosaic the meeting of the two major origin groups of Jews—Asian-African and European- American—is of particular significance and has attracted widespread atten- tion by researchers.1 During the early statehood period, the two groups exhibited strong dif- Note: The research reported in this study was carried out under the auspices of the Division of Jewish Demography and Statistics, the Institute of Contemporary Jewry, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. All statistics were derived from published or unpublished data compiled by Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics or from computer files deposited by the bureau with the Hebrew University's Data Bank. Numerous special tabulations were made from these files. The responsibility for the findings rests exclusively with the authors. U.O. Schmelz wrote the introduction and the sections on immigration, population size and struc- ture, residential distribution, interethnic marriage, and fertility; Uri Avner wrote the section on education; Sergio DellaPergola wrote the section on voting behavior and the conclusion. Benjamin Anderman, Zvi Richter, Nitza Genuth, Judith Even, and Ann Poller ably assisted in preparing this study. 'In the vast literature dealing with the problems discussed in the present study, see the following general works: Carl Frankenstein, ed., Between Past and Future (Jerusalem, 1953); S.N.
