    Eran Hayet, executive director of the BYU Jerusalem Center Jerusalem Program Reborn: An Interview with the Executive Director Eran Hayet, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, and Ray L. Huntington Eran Hayet ([email protected]), a native-born Israeli, is executive director of the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies. Richard Neitzel Holzapfel ([email protected]) is the Religious Studies Center publications director. Ray L. Huntington ([email protected]) is associate director and academic coordinator at the Jerusalem Center. Holzapfel: We want to focus on what the new Jerusalem Center pro- gram has to offer. In the past there were three incarnations. There was the pre–Jerusalem Center program, which was the David Galbraith–Kelly Ogden era, when we did not have a building. Then there was the Jerusa- lem Center program that began with the building of the BYU Jerusalem Center and continued until the center was closed to students in 2000. Then the program began anew in 2007. Huntington: I think one purpose of this interview is to have teachers and faculty be aware of (a) the new program and (b) the new executive director so they are acquainted with you, Eran Hayet, and know a little bit about your background. Holzapfel: First of all, the original director was a BYU full-time faculty member who came from Provo. When did you come to the center? Hayet: I first came here in January 1994. Kent Brown was the director. Holzapfel: Could you tell us a bit about your background, where you were born and where you lived? Hayet: I was born in a kibbutz in upper Galilee called Kibbutz Ga’aton.

    104 Eran Neuman / The Israel Pavilion for the 1967 International and Universal Exposition in Montreal Eran Neuman The Israel Pavilion for the 1967 International and Universal Exposition in Montreal Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes, vol. 26, 2018 105 The launch of the Israel Pavilion at Expo ‘67 in Montreal coincided with a period of enormous political tension in the Middle East, when Israel faced direct threat from surrounding Arab countries, especially its immediate neighbours Egypt, Syria and Jordan. After months of great anxiety, both within the country and in Jewish dias- pora communities abroad, Israel launched a surprise attack and the ensuing Six Day War resulted in a decisive victory for Israel and a major expansion of its territory. Against this backdrop, the Israel Pavilion at Montreal’s global exposition became the focus of international attention even as it did not directly address events happening in the country. Designed over the course of three years by leading Israeli architects Arieh Sharon, David Resnick and Eldar Sharon, as well as several artists and design- ers including Jean David, Shmuel Grundman, Igael Tumarkin, Shraga Weil, Naftali Bezem and Dan Reisinger, the pavilion was at the cutting-edge of contemporary architectural design. Its display concentrated on the history of the Jewish people and building a country in the Promised Land, despite the obstacles. Yet while the pavilion’s design did not deal with the tension between Israel and sur- rounding Arab countries, it did influence Israel’s approach to presenting itself on the global stage. The pavilion’s architecture and display were carefully thought through by government officials, architects, designers and artists who wished to portray the young nation at its best.

  • Campus Strolls Walking Tour of the Edmond J
    Campus Strolls Walking tour of the Edmond J. Safra Campus, Givat Ram האוניברסיטה העברית בירושלים The Hebrew University of Jerusalem The Hebrew University of Jerusalem The cornerstones for the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel’s first university, were laid in 1918. In 1925, the University was officially opened at an historic ceremony held on Mount Scopus attended by thousands. In the early 1950s – with access to Mount Scopus cut off – it was decided to build a new campus on Givat Ram, in an area intended for the capital city’s governmental, cultural and educational center. Today the Hebrew University is an internationally renowned multidisciplinary institution of higher learning and research, with ties extending to and from scientific and academic communities in Israel and abroad. About one-third of all competitive research grants in Israel are awarded to its scholars. The quest for excellence characterizes the thousands of students at the Hebrew University, where an emphasis is placed on research and postgraduate studies. Special programs and academic conferences attract students and scholars from all over the world. The Hebrew University awards more doctoral degrees than any other Israeli university and its graduates hold key positions in every area of Israeli society. The Hebrew University strives to benefit society through the dissemination of knowledge, the advancement of its young people, and active participation in fields such as law, social welfare and health. The Hebrew University’s mission includes training Israel’s public, scientific, educational and professional leadership; preserving and researching the Jewish cultural, spiritual and intellectual heritage; and expanding the boundaries of knowledge for the benefit of humanity.
