Senior Vice President – Development 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Friends, Shalom U’vracha! As Pesach approaches, my thoughts are directed to our nation’s historical beginnings and the significance of our journey through the millennia until the present day. The events that the Jewish People experienced and the consequences of these encounters were those that have shaped our nation into who we are today, while obliging us to ensure its continued existence for future generations. The concepts of transition and tradition are key elements of Pesach – transitions from being a nation of slaves to becoming the People of Israel and from leaving Egypt until 40 years later reaching their final destination. Yet this arrival in their homeland was not the end of their journey but a beginning, requiring of them to build a society based on Jewish values CONTENTS and traditions in order to survive.

ON CAMPUS ....................................... 22 Prof. Noah Dana-Picard GLOBAL NEWS ................................... 23 3 The three partners of redemption By Rabbi Menachem Akerman This essay seeks to examine some of from being a close ally of the Jews (during the many parallels between the events Joseph’s reign) into a tyrannous enslaver, that transpired in the time of the Exodus seemingly overnight. “A new king arose, and those of our current day. who knew not of Joseph.” Similarly, how The Gemara (Ketubot 117a) says that are we to understand Hashem’s apparent the exile of the Jewish people will only absence, as the Torah informs us that come to an end when three oaths sworn only after 210 years of slavery “He heard by Hashem expire - that the Jews may not the groans of the Children of Israel.”? And rebel against the Gentiles, that the Jews what, indeed, was Israel’s sin to deserve may not come to Israel “as a wall” – i.e., a this punishment? group – and that the Gentiles may not overly oppress the Jews. Let us focus on one aspect of salvation. Even when the time The Maharal of Prague explains that these oaths are actually for redemption has come, we find that there are still difficulties laws of history decreed by Hashem so that the exile would not along the way. Firstly, for Pharaoh and the Egyptians: The script end before the Jews achieved the goals that Hashem had set could have been written quite differently. Imagine Pharaoh and forth for them. This is similar to two lovers who are attracted the Egyptians understanding the Jews’ right to return to their to each other but who understand that they must be apart for land and even assisting them in their enterprise as Darius of a certain period of time.

  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.
