Sefer Haner on Mesechet Bava Kamma,Benefits
Sefer HaNer on Mesechet Bava Kamma Sefer HaNer on Mesechet Bava Kamma: A Review by:Rabbi Yosaif Mordechai Dubovick Not every important work written by a Rishon is blessed with popularity.[1] While many texts were available throughout the generations and utilized to their utmost; others were relegated to obscurity, being published as recently as this century, or even this year. Nearly a month doesn't pass without a "new" Rishon being made available to the public, and often enough in a critical edition. While each work must be evaluated on its own merit, as a whole, every commentary, every volume of Halachic rulings adds to our knowledge and Torah study.[2] From the Geonic era through the Rishonim, North Africa was blessed with flourishing Torah centers, Kairouan in Tunisia (800-1057),[3] Fostat (Old Cairo) in Egypt, and many smaller cities as well. Perhaps the crown jewel of "pre-Rambam" Torah study was the sefer Hilchot Alfasi by R' Yitchock Alfasi (the Rif).[4] Many Rishonim focused their novella around the study of Rif,[5] the Rambam taught Rif in lieu of Talmud,[6] and a pseudo-Rashi and Tosefot were developed to encompass the texts used and accompany its study.[7] In Aghmat, a little known city in Morocco, circa the Rambam's lifetime, rose up a little known Chacham whose work is invaluable in studying Rif, and by correlation, the Talmud Bavli as a whole. Yet, this Chacham was unheard of, for the most part, until the past half century. R' Zechariya b. Yehuda of Aghmat, authored a compendium of Geonim, Rishonim, and personal exegesis on Rif. -

THE KIBBUTZ THAT WAS – Empirical Study WHAT IS LEFT from the ORIGINAL CONCEPT
Cross-Cultural Management Journal Volume XVI, Issue 2 / 2014 Efrat KEDEM-TAHAR Israeli Ministry of Education – Department of Special Education, Jerusalem, Israel University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel THE KIBBUTZ THAT WAS – Empirical study WHAT IS LEFT FROM THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT Keywords “Automatic” rotation Conservatism Cooperative Ideology Socialism The Kibbutz crisis Abstract The aim of this article is to analyze the meaning of the ideological, social and financial crises undergone by the Kibbutz Movement in Israel, which has existed for the past one hundred years. The paper will discuss in detail the values of cooperation, democracy and equality that were the guiding principles of the Kibbutz Movement for dozens of years. The difficult economic reality forced upon the entire State of Israel during the 1980s did not pass over the Kibbutz Movement, which consists approximately 1.7% of the population of the State of Israel and approximately 2.2% of the Jewish population in Israel. This crisis compelled the Kibbutz Movement to make internal administrative and organizational changes in order to survive it. The paper will describe the measures taken in the mechanism that was sealed and preserved for dozens of years on many levels – administrative, social and economic; a mechanism that required a drastic transition from being based on agriculture to industry and production, all while preserving the Kibbutz way of life and core values. 315 Cross-Cultural Management Journal Volume XVI, Issue 2 / 2014 Introduction Kibbutz Movement were founded and determined In Hebrew, the word “Kibbutz” means its lifestyle and organization in many ways.

Camp David's Shadow
Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination. -

Caravan Agur Southeast Caravan
Caravan Agur Southeast Caravan COMING SOON TO OUR COMMUNITY! MEET GILI I'm Gili Yannay from Neve Monosson – a small village 20 minutes from Tel-Aviv. I'm almost 17, and am in 11th grade at Yahud Comprehensive High School. My mother Yael is a literary editor and my father Roni is a business consultant, and both are my closest friends. I'm the youngest sister and very close to my 3 siblings: Tal is a computer science student, Dan is a musician, and my sister Tamar is about to finish her service in the Israeli Defense Forces. I have been in the scouts since I was 8, and it is a centerpiece in my life. In the past two years I have been a counselor of the senior group – the shichva bogeret. In this position I worked to be a role model for the younger kids in our scouts chapter. I have a great passion for music, probably because all of my family members play and sing. I play the cello and the piano and love to sing and dance. Arts also take a great part of my pastime – I paint, make pottery and lately also sew. Last year I went on a student delegation to Germany, where we were hosted by students our age. Together we toured Germany and studied issues connected with the Holocaust. This year they came to Israel to be hosted by us, are we toured Israel together. I love hiking and particularly enjoyed showing my wonderful country to our new friends. I love being in Israel but am also thrilled with the opportunities I will have to connect to my people in the US. -
