    1 Oppenheim , Moshe (Moshe Op) Born 25 December 1926 in Niederohle, Germany Made Aliya in 1939 Joined the Palmach in 1943 Joined the Palyam in 1945 This is the Way it Was The episode of the weapons of “J” Company, HaPortzim Battalion, Harel Brigade The story starts with a prelude… I made Aliya from Germany when I was 13 years old. This was just three months after the start of World War II. I arrived in Haifa on December 20, 1939. My brother, who was three years older than I, made Aliya three months earlier within the framework of Youth Aliya. My parents and two sisters were killed by the Germans, but this only became known to me some time later. In 1940 I was accepted as a student in the Max Fein Technical High School in Tel Aviv and started to learn metalworking. In 1941-42 there seemed to be a danger that the Germans might invade Palestine from the direction of Egypt and the sea, under the command of Field Marshal Rommel. I was a bit young but enlisted with almost the whole class, in the Hagana. I swore my loyalty to a fellow called Al Dema in the Borochov quarter of Givataim. Al Dema was the director of the Herzliya Gymnasium in Tel Aviv. We began training, with light weapons during the day and had field practice on Saturdays. We often stood watch at strategic locations to make certain that the Germans didn't try to land paratroopers there. The peak of our service was during the vacation period of the summer of 1942 when we were taken to an English camp at Tel Litvinsky and swore our loyalty to the English monarch.

  • Appendix 1(V) SEIZED DOCUMENTS: TARGETING POPULATION CENTERS in ISRAEL USING UPGRADED 122 MM GRAD ROCKET POSITIONS
    Appendix 1(v) SEIZED DOCUMENTS: TARGETING POPULATION CENTERS IN ISRAEL USING UPGRADED 122 MM GRAD ROCKET POSITIONS 1. On August 11, 2006, during the second Lebanon war, three files were found in the village of Aita al-Shaab in the central sector of south Lebanon. They contained range cards for three 120 mm mortar and 122 mm upgraded Grad rocket fired from positions in the region of Shihin. The range cards were dated December 2005 and were for 122 mm upgraded Grad rockets (with a range of 20 km – 12.5 miles). The range cards belonged to the artillery department of the Nasr Unit, the unit responsible for the area south of the Litani River, and operating under the command of the Jihad Council.1 2. It should be noted that most of the rockets fired at Israel during the war were various types of 122 mm rockets (HE-frag rockets, cluster bombs, and upgraded rockets with extended range). The following data are for an upgraded Grad rocket: 1 The Jihad Council is a department within the Hezbollah headquarters, responsible for building up the organization’s military power and preparing it for emergencies. Hajj Imad Mughniyah, Hassan Nasrallah’s military deputy, heads it. He is wanted by the United States for the many terrorist attacks he has carried out against American targets. In addition, Argentina has issued an international warrant for his arrest because of his involvement in the 1994 bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires. 2 Upgraded 122 mm Grad rocket Diameter: 122 mm. Range: 20 km (12.5 miles)* Warhead weight: 66 kg (145 lbs) Manufacturer: China, Iran, Russia, Bulgaria * There are also upgraded Grad rockets with ranges of 30-40 kilometers (18- 25 miles), however, the seized range cards referred to rockets with a range of 20 kilometers Firing Position No.

  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

  • Aelia Capitolina’ Through a Review of the Archaeological Data
    Roman changes to the hill of Gareb in ‘Aelia Capitolina’ through a review of the archaeological data Roberto Sabelli Dipartimento di Architettura Università degli Studi di Firenze Abstract opposite page Following Jewish revolts, in 114-117 and 132-136 AD, the colony of Iulia Aelia Cap- Fig.1 itolina was founded by Publio Elio Traiano Adriano on the site of Jerusalem – View of the east side Aelia in his honour and Capitolina because it was intended to contain a Capi- of the old walled city from Kidron Valley tol for the Romans – so as to erase Jewish and Christian memories. On the ba- (R. Sabelli 2007) sis of the most recent research it is possible to reconstruct the main phases of transformation by the Romans of a part of the hill of Gareb: from a stone quar- ry (tenth century BC - first century AD) into a place of worship, first pagan with the Hadrianian Temple (second century AD) then Christian with the Costantin- ian Basilica (fourth century AD). Thanks to the material evidence, historical tes- timonies, and information on the architecture of temples in the Hadrianic pe- riod, we attempt to provide a reconstruction of the area where the pagan tem- ple was built, inside the expansion of the Roman town in the second century AD, aimed at the conservation and enhancement of these important traces of the history of Jerusalem. 1 The Gehenna Valley (Wadi er-Rababi to- The hill of Gareb in Jerusalem to the north of Mount Zion, bounded on the day) was for centuries used as city ity 1 dump and for disposing of the unburied south and west by the Valley of Gehenna (Hinnom Valley) , rises to 770 me- corpses of delinquents, which were then ters above sea level; its lowest point is at its junction with the Kidron Valley, burned.
