    1 Letter to the Editor, Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs, from Alti Rodal, Co-Director, Ukrainian Jewish Encounter, Regarding

    Letter to the Editor, Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs, from Alti Rodal, Co-Director, Ukrainian Jewish Encounter, regarding the article by Simon Geissbühler, "The Ukrainian Crisis and the Jews: A Time for Hope or Despair" Ukraine has experienced a further six turbulent months since publication of Simon Geissbühler’s article on the Ukrainian crisis and its implications for Jews. Developments and media coverage since then have corroborated his main finding that Russia's characterizations of the Maidan protests as the work of anti-Semites and fascists were without foundation in reality. Such characterizations have been roundly dismissed by Jewish leaders in Ukraine and elsewhere, as well as in the mainstream media, as cynical Russian propaganda. While Geissbühler's analysis is by and large sound and drawn from a variety of sources, it also delivers, through its choice of emphasis and wording, misrepresentations on key issues – concern about anti-Semitism on the part of Jewish leaders in Ukraine, the impact of the Maidan experience on the self-identification of many Jews in Ukraine, and the stereotyping of ethnic Ukrainians. While endorsing the finding that anti-Semitism was not a significant factor among the Maidan protesters and in contemporary Ukraine, Geissbühler understates the extent to which Ukrainian Jewish leaders asserted this fact. For example, in addition to reporting on the statements made in this regard by Joseph Zissels, Chairman of the Vaad of Ukraine, and Abraham Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League, Geissbühler might

The 65-year-old American businessman and former US ambassador to Austria was confirmed by the 400 delegates representing Jewish communities in over 80 countries and several affiliated international Jewish organizations. In his speech to delegates, Lauder emphasized Diaspora Jewry‘s unwavering support for the State of Israel, especially in the face of threats by terrorist organizations. He criticized countries and international bodies such as the United Nations for applying ―double standards‖ when it comes to Israel and not providing enough support. Eduardo Elsztain, a Jewish leader from Argentina was elected new chairman of the WJC Governing Board, succeeding Matthew Bronfman.

    Israel: a Personal Travel Guide

    ISRAEL: A PERSONAL TRAVEL GUIDE By Douglas E. Duckett Cincinnati, Ohio, USA [email protected] ©2004-2012 Douglas E. Duckett All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION. The Israel travel guide you are reading is a greatly expanded version of one I first prepared for an American friend some seventeen years ago. In it, I have tried to share my experiences and knowledge of Israel based on a lifetime of study and eleven visits to the country, most recently in May 2012. I enjoy independent travel, and this guide was written primarily with such travelers in mind, though I hope the information will be helpful to those on group tours as well. As an American, I have produced a guide that is, no doubt, US-centric. I hope my readers from other countries will forgive that, and still find useful information. I am not in the travel industry. I am a labor lawyer who happens to love Israel passionately, and I want to encourage others to travel there and experience this wonderful land. My first visit was in November 1988, and I caught the bug; thus I started visiting every other year or so thereafter. I did not go from 1999-2005, the truly terrible years of the second Palestinian uprising and the terror bombings in Israel cities. Since, I have returned five more times, but even now, some friends still asked, “are you sure you want to go back to Israel?” So what is the reality? Each trip has been a dream, and travel to Israel is one of the great joys of my life.

Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel Focus on the struggle to "let my people go" from the Soviet Union has given way to the need to absorb Russian Jews in Israel, the United States, and other countries and the ex­ amination of the impact of the Russians (and immigrants from other republics) on the ab­ sorbing societies.

  • Jewish Flavour Principles As Culinary 'Midrash'

    Jewish Flavour Principles As Culinary 'Midrash'

    Communicating Jewish Identity Through Taste: Jewish Flavour Principles as Culinary ‘Midrash’ Jonathan Brumberg-Kraus Jewish identity and values are communicated through the cultivation of certain tastes. There are Jewish taste preferences, shaped by Jewish historical experience and literary, religious and cultural heritage. They are not absolute, not every Jew has them at all times and in all places, but there are discernibly Jewish patterns of taste preferences for some foods, disgust for others. Indeed, these Jewish taste preferences have been prescribed or encouraged by Jewish religious and cultural traditions, by advocates with a stake in Jewish group identity and the continuity of the Jewish people as a group (e.g. rabbis, teachers, parents, Jewish recipe book writers, chefs, food producers and distributors, and other Jewish political and cultural leaders) – ‘ethno-political entrepreneurs’ in Rogers Brubaker’s term.1 They use taste to communicate Jews’ historical experience and memories of their ancient Near Eastern Biblical origins and terroir, their dispersion among other peoples and nations throughout the world (‘the Diaspora’ or galut [Exile]) and a pattern of collective suffering and ‘redemption’, from the Exodus from Egypt to the Expulsion from Spain, from settlement of Eastern p3 Europe to mass immigration to the US, from the Holocaust to the foundation of the modern Jewish State of Israel. Jewish taste preferences are somewhat akin to what Elizabeth Rozin and John Prescott describe as flavour principles (really more than taste per se, i.e. the combination of certain patterns of preferred tastes, aromas, ingredients, textures, cooking methods, etc., characteristic of different regionally-based ethnic groups).2 The principles can be traced back to sacred texts like the Bible and rabbinic literature that articulate them in religio-cultural prescriptions.
