  • Israel in 1982: the War in Lebanon
    Israel in 1982: The War in Lebanon by RALPH MANDEL LS ISRAEL MOVED INTO its 36th year in 1982—the nation cele- brated 35 years of independence during the brief hiatus between the with- drawal from Sinai and the incursion into Lebanon—the country was deeply divided. Rocked by dissension over issues that in the past were the hallmark of unity, wracked by intensifying ethnic and religious-secular rifts, and through it all bedazzled by a bullish stock market that was at one and the same time fuel for and seeming haven from triple-digit inflation, Israelis found themselves living increasingly in a land of extremes, where the middle ground was often inhospitable when it was not totally inaccessible. Toward the end of the year, Amos Oz, one of Israel's leading novelists, set out on a journey in search of the true Israel and the genuine Israeli point of view. What he heard in his travels, as published in a series of articles in the daily Davar, seemed to confirm what many had sensed: Israel was deeply, perhaps irreconcilably, riven by two political philosophies, two attitudes toward Jewish historical destiny, two visions. "What will become of us all, I do not know," Oz wrote in concluding his article on the develop- ment town of Beit Shemesh in the Judean Hills, where the sons of the "Oriental" immigrants, now grown and prosperous, spewed out their loath- ing for the old Ashkenazi establishment. "If anyone has a solution, let him please step forward and spell it out—and the sooner the better.

  • Durchbruch Des Fundamentalismus? Ein Neues Gesicht Der Orthodoxie Im Judentum Ungarns
    Larissza Hrotkó Durchbruch des Fundamentalismus? Ein neues Gesicht der Orthodoxie im Judentum Ungarns DEUTSCH ABSTRACT Am Beispiel des gegenwärtigen ungarischen Judentums behandelt dieser Beitrag den religiösen Fundamentalismus als eine moderne gesellschaft- liche und kulturelle Erscheinung. Theologisch gesehen kann der Funda- mentalismus auch als eine patriarchale Protestbewegung betrachtet wer- den, die die religiöse Tradition im Interesse der Machterhaltung miss- braucht. Die Orthodoxie nimmt im fundamentalistischen Konzept einen besonderen Platz ein. Sie kann sich manchmal den Verhältnissen und Bedürfnissen moderner europäischer Gesellschaften anpassen und ein frauenfreund liches, ja sogar demokratisches Gesicht zeigen. Diese Form der Ortho doxie wird im Artikel als Neo-Orthodoxie bezeichnet. Die De- mokratie in einer neo-orthodoxen Gemeinschaft ist aber nur eine schein- bare, denn die wirkliche Macht konzentriert sich bei den Rabbinern, die entscheiden, wieviel Freiheit den Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft und ins- besondere den Frauen zugestanden wird. Zurzeit scheinen der Einfluss der jüdischen Neo-Orthodoxie und somit die Gefahr des Durchbruchs des Fun- damentalismus in Ungarn zu steigen. Die nicht-orthodoxen jüdischen Ge- meinschaften sind dagegen nicht aktiv genug und beschäftigen sich wenig mit der Stärkung ihrer eigenen jüdischen Identität. ENGLISH A fundamentalist revolution?

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 o ON CA lA N Abstract For six years since 1984 Israel underwent a unique p o litic al experience: i t was ruled by national coalitions supported by more than 75% of the members of parliament. Larger-than-minimal coalitions have always been problematic for traditional coalition theory. The Israeli case provides therefore an opportunity to examine the various actors' motivations and behaviour, as they reflect on coalition theory at 1arge. The assumption that actors are driven by "win maximization" is central to formal models of coalition theory. This assumption led to predictions of winning coalitions which are minimal in size, membership or ideological scope. Non-minimal coalitions were regarded as suboptimal choices, explainable on an ad hoc basis, e.g.

    In landmark ruling, El Al ordered to end policy of asking women to move seats | The Times of Israel 6/22/17, 153 PM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL | www.timesofisrael.com In landmark ruling, El Al ordered to end policy of asking women to move seats Holocaust survivor Renee Rabinowitz wins suit against Israel’s national carrier over flight attendants’ request she change places after ultra- Orthodox man refused to sit beside her BY RAOUL WOOTLIFF June 22, 2017, 6:08 am srael’s national carrier, El Al, can no longer accede to the requests of ultra-Orthodox passengers not to sit next to women, a Jerusalem court said Wednesday in a landmark I ruling. “Under absolutely no circumstances can a crew member ask a passenger to move from their designated seat because the adjacent passenger doesn’t wasn’t to sit next to them due to their gender,” Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court Judge Dana Cohen-Lekah said in her ruling. “The policy is a direct transgression of the law preventing discrimination.” El Al has been known to regularly ask passengers to move seats at the request and sometimes demand of ultra-Orthodox men who refuse to sit next to women. Wednesday’s ruling ends years of uproar over the policy led by rights groups who say it is discriminatory. Cohen-Lekah agreed with the Israel Religious Action Center, which brought the suit, in ruling the practice was illegal. The chief plaintiff in the case was 81-year old Holocaust survivor Renee Rabinowitz, who sued the airline for discrimination after a flight attendant asked her to move seats on a flight in December 2015.

THE NEW JEWISH NATION HAS FELT, FROM ITS’ EARLIEST BEGINNING, THAT HOMELAND AND CULTURE ARE TWO CONCEPTIONS WHICH CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER. ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN For Israel this fourth Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition is an event of deep and moving significance. It is bound up with many aspects of our nation's life, even beyond the Competition's world-wide artistic importance and the aesthetic delight it gives to great numbers We see it this year as a fitting memorial to the great musician, humanist, superbly charming man and dedicated Jew who shed his luster upon it ever since its initiation in 1974. We in Israel have benefitted from Arthur Rubinstein's special, generous concern for young talents in the country, and we are happy that young artists from many countries are to participate 1n the Competition. Their presence and the remarkable panel of judges underscore the international nature of music and Israel's place in that great world - a place consonant with Israel's dedication to the arts and the enhancement of human life.
