    The House on Garibaldi Street by Isser Harel, 1912-2003 Published: 1975 J J J J J I I I I I Table of Contents Introduction by Shlomo J. Shpiro, 1997 Dramatis Personae & Chapter 1 … thru … Chapter 30 Index J J J J J I I I I I Introduction by Shlomo J. Shpiro THE PUBLIC trial in Israel of Adolf Eichmann, the man who directed the Third Reich’s ‘Final Solution’, was held in 1961 under an unprecedented publicity coverage. The trial, which took place in Jerusalem, attracted hundreds of reporters and media crews from all over the world. For the first time since the end of the Second World War the horrific crimes of the Nazi regime against the Jewish people were exposed in all their brutality by one of their leading perpetrators. Eichmann stood at the top of the Gestapo pyramid dedicated to the destruction of Europe’s Jewry, and was personally responsible not only for policy decisions but for the everyday running of this unparalleled genocide. His trial and subsequent execution brought to millions of homes around the world the untold story of the Holocaust from its chief administrator. (I-1) The Eichmann trial had a profound influence in particular on the young generation of Israeli citizens, born after the end of the Second World War. This generation, born into a country which had built itself as a national home for the Jewish people in order to prevent such persecution in the future, swore as it joined the army ‘never again’ to let Jewish people be led to their death unresisting.

  • The Haredim As a Challenge for the Jewish State. the Culture War Over Israel's Identity
    SWP Research Paper Peter Lintl The Haredim as a Challenge for the Jewish State The Culture War over Israel’s Identity Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik German Institute for International and Security Affairs SWP Research Paper 14 December 2020, Berlin Abstract ∎ A culture war is being waged in Israel: over the identity of the state, its guiding principles, the relationship between religion and the state, and generally over the question of what it means to be Jewish in the “Jewish State”. ∎ The Ultra-Orthodox community or Haredim are pitted against the rest of the Israeli population. The former has tripled in size from four to 12 per- cent of the total since 1980, and is projected to grow to over 20 percent by 2040. That projection has considerable consequences for the debate. ∎ The worldview of the Haredim is often diametrically opposed to that of the majority of the population. They accept only the Torah and religious laws (halakha) as the basis of Jewish life and Jewish identity, are critical of democratic principles, rely on hierarchical social structures with rabbis at the apex, and are largely a-Zionist. ∎ The Haredim nevertheless depend on the state and its institutions for safeguarding their lifeworld. Their (growing) “community of learners” of Torah students, who are exempt from military service and refrain from paid work, has to be funded; and their education system (a central pillar of ultra-Orthodoxy) has to be protected from external interventions. These can only be achieved by participation in the democratic process. ∎ Haredi parties are therefore caught between withdrawal and influence.

    1 Empathy Passage: Toward a Presentational Genealogy of the Rhetorics of Antisemitism and Israel/Palestine Joseph Telegen A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Anis Bawarshi, Co-Chair Candice Rai, Co-Chair Gail Stygall, Reading Committee Member English 2 ©Copyright 2020 Joseph Telegen 3 University of Washington Abstract Empathy Passage: Toward a Presentational Genealogy of the Rhetorics of Antisemitism and Israel/Palestine Joseph Telegen Co-Chairs of the Supervisory Committee: Anis Bawarshi Candice Rai English This dissertation asserts that only through a slow and benevolent examination of the rhetorical energy of Antisemitism (including the immense period prior to its linguistic dissemination, which he has entitled the “Prenatal Period” of the term/concept) can the common paralysis which results from its introduction into dialogues regarding Israel/Palestine become fresh and productive. As one of the “terminal terminologies” surrounding such contentious discourses, we must, there, produce what this project refers to as a Presentational Genealogy of Rhetoric (or PGR) of the term, borrowing influence from composition and rhetorical theory (including the works of such figures as Wayne Booth, Susan Jarratt, and Jenny Edbauer), as well as genealogists such Foucault and their theoretical cousins, Deleuze and Guattari. The desired end result is Empathy Passage, through which rhetors otherwise too disparate in their understandings of Antisemitism and its relationship to Israel/Palestine might gain new perspective with the assistance of mentors, instructors, and others serving as “Complexity Bridges,” both inside the classroom and beyond. 4 Chapter One: Articulation of Specific Project/Method Why is this dissertation different than all other dissertations1? Academics are frequently accused of writing solely for other academics; let us therefore talk specifics at the onset.

  • How the Psychology of Zionism Explains Israeli Law
    Constitution or the Rule of Conscience? How the Psychology of Zionism Explains Israeli Law Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Honors Program Yeshiva College Yeshiva University May 2021 Michael J. Weiner Mentor: Professor Neil Rogachevsky, Political Science Why doesn’t the State of Israel have a written constitution? This is a notable question because every single other democracy in the world has one, with only four exceptions. Moreover, Israel and its political leaders were fully on track to develop and implement a written constitution, in accordance with UN Resolution 181 of November 29, 1947, which asserted that “the Constituent Assembly of each state (Jewish and Arab) shall draft a democratic constitution for its state.” Just six months later, on May 14, 1948, the Israeli Declaration of Independence was unveiled, and it made explicit reference to a “Constitution which shall be adopted by the Elected Constituent Assembly not later than the 1st October 1948.” Thus, from a legal standpoint, both the UN Resolution setting out the conditions for the creation of a future Jewish state and the Israeli declaration of statehood itself make clear that a written constitution was to be an essential part of the political regime of Israel. Additionally, Nir Kedar points out that the Provisional State Council (Moetzet Ha’am), Israel’s interim parliament which served before the first Knesset elections were held in 1949, passed the Transition Act (Chok Hama’avar), which formally assigned the task of drafting the written constitution to the incoming Knesset (3). Alas, it was not to be.

Great emphasis was put on improving the service and accessibility to the city’s central employment areas: Talpiot, Givat Shaul, the Technological Garden, Malcha and the Government Complex. From now on there will be more lines that will lead you more frequently and comfortably to and from work. The planning of the new lines is a result of cooperation between the Ministry of Transport, the Jerusalem Municipality and public representatives, through the Jerusalem Transport Master Plan team (JTMT). This pamphlet provides, for your convenience, all the information concerning the lines included in this phase: before you is a layout of the new and improved lines, station locations and line changes on the way to your destination.
