  • Arabs in Israel
    Arabs in Israel Israel, an Apartheid state – IS IT SO ?!? The text was written and the images were selected by Aron Albahari Introduction As of early 2013, the total population of Israel has been about eight million people. About six million among them are Jews (75 percent), around 1,300,000 Muslim Arabs, 150,000 Christian Arabs, 140,000 Druze, 60,000 Bedouins, whereas 350,000 people belong to the ‘others’ category (non-Arab Christians, Circassians, Armenians, etc.). Both formally and legally, as Israeli citizens, they have equal rights and obligations, and this, naturally, also applies to Arabs. The only obligation that does not apply to Arabs is military service, except if they wish to opt for it. Although they are Muslims, Druze, Bedouins and Circassians do serve the military service. Since May 14, 1948, and the formation (reinstatement) of Israel as a state, despite political and other connotations regarding the relationship between the Arabs and Israeli Jews typical of this period, the Arab population in Israel has grown in number by ten times, or by more than 1000 percent: from 190,000 to about two million. One of the major reasons for this has been the overall standard and quality of life within the Israeli society and state, regardless of personal affinities, political or other views and attitudes and an individual’s experience of the life in the predominantly Jewish society. Compared to other Arabs living in 22 Arab Muslim countries, the Israeli Arabs, as the largest non-Jewish population in Israel, have on average the longest life expectancy (both men and women), the lowest mortality rate among the newborns, the lowest illiteracy rate and the highest rate of university-educated people (both among men and women).

  • Rabbisconnect 5777 Rosh Hashanah
    1 Israel and the Power of Our Storiesi A Sermon for Second Day Rosh Hashanah By Rabbi Susan Grossman Beth Shalom Congregation www.beth-shalom.net Shanah Tovah I remember when I was very little, my father of blessed memory brought home a few oranges. They were the biggest oranges I had ever seen. But that is not what made them special. What made them special was they were Jaffa Oranges. They had come all the way from Israel. I lifted the orange to my nose and smelled it. To my young self, I was smelling the Holy Land. As I ate a slice, I was miraculously, if only momentarily, transported to the land of miracles. This was in the early 1960s. Israel had only recently been born on the heels of the destruction of six million Jews in the Holocaust. My parents viscerally understood, deep in their gut, why a Jewish State was necessary. They knew that if Israel had existed in the 1930s or 40s, the Holocaust never would have happened. Israel would have accepted the refugees the rest of the world rejected and would have bombed the rail lines to Auschwitz the Americans had refused to bomb. They had heard their grandparents’ stories of a Europe for centuries rife with violent anti-Semitism so they knew my brothers and I were safer, even in the U.S., because the Jewish State had been reborn. Most of us in this sanctuary never knew a time in our lives in which Israel did not exist. For most of us, rising anti-Semitism is not a daily experience.

  • Alterity As a Perspective for Peace
    Sociology Study, January 2015, Vol. 5, No. 1, 53‐59 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2015.01.006 DAVID PUBLISHING Ubuntu: Alterity as a Perspective for Peace Flora Strozenberga, Willis Santiago Guerra Filhoa, Luiz Otávio Ferreira Barreto Leitea, Edna Raquel Santos Hogemanna, Milanna Nagiba, Hellen Cristina Silva de Oliveiraa, Matheus Novais da Silvaa, Ana Carolina Antãoa Abstract This paper looks for deepening the connections among peace, intercultural dialogue, and communalism in the light of Ubuntu, an ethical concept that emphasizes the alliances constructed between people and the relations established by them, and is seen as fundamental to the African thought of the groups that adopt Bantu languages. It develops an original exercise in diatopical hermeneutics—a methodology proposed by Raimon Panikkar, taking as the main goal to approach the Western ethical and political thought to the epistemic and ontological category of Ubuntu, recognized in the Zulu maxim umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu (a person is a person through other persons). It chooses as the basis of such study some contemporary thinkers as Lévinas, Bauman, Ramose, Chuwa, Kunene, and Nussbaum, who show a common concern with reverting a context of war and disregard of the integrity of human beings, connected to an ethics of alterity, zealous of the values of conviviality and respect for the cultural differences. It reveals the political dimension of Ubuntu and the impacts of this conception on the process of facing the problems of human rights in post Apartheid South Africa. Grounded on such transdisciplinary reflexion, it tries to point through a path to the implementation of policies for peace based on interculturality and communalism within different cultures.

  • Jews of Former Cossack Fort Irkutsk Mark 200 Years of Prosperity And
    NCSEJ WEEKLY TOP 10 Washington, D.C. November 21, 2018 Jews of Former Cossack Fort Irkutsk Mark 200 Years of Prosperity and Persecution By Rossella Tercatin Times of Israel, November 17, 2018 https://www.timesofisrael.com/jews-of-former-cossack-fort-irkutsk-mark-200-years-of-prosperity-and- persecution/ Today, this frigid city of just over half a million in eastern Siberia is best known for being a convenient starting point from which to visit Lake Baikal — a popular destination for hiking and winter sports a short 70 kilometers (43 miles) away that contains one-fifth of the world’s unfrozen fresh water. But Irkutsk also holds the key to an unexpected piece of Jewish history spanning back over two centuries. Irkutsk’s first Jew on record, a merchant named Israel Fershter, arrived in the city located off the silk road in 1818. Founded in 1661 as a Cossack garrison, at the beginning of the 19th century Irkutsk was a cultural and intellectual hub for elites sent into exile for their part in the Decembrist revolt against Tsar Nicholas I. The city was also well on its way to becoming a prominent commercial center. Officially, no Jews were allowed to reside in Siberia — or anywhere in the Russian Empire outside of the Pale of Settlement, an area established in 1791 which included parts of today’s Poland, Ukraine and Latvia, as well as Belarus, Lithuania and Moldova. Practically though, there were exceptions. Not only did Fershster move to Irkutsk, but he also set out to put together a minyan — a quorum of 10 adult men necessary for public prayer according to traditional Judaism.

It lies at an intersection of political, ethnic and religious borders. At stake in this conflict is Russian, Turkish and Iranian regional influence, an ethnic battle with memories of genocide and a religious component of Christian Armenia, Shia Azerbaijan and Sunni Turkey. Samuel Huntington’s theory of “Clash of Civilizations?” has come into focus. Religiously, Azerbaijan is more closely related to Iran as both are Shia-majority countries, unlike the Sunni-majority Turkey.
