    KAJ NEWSLETTER January 9, ‘20 י"ב טבת תש"פ A monthly publication of K’hal Adath Jeshurun Volume 50 Number 4 New Security Measures In light of the recent sobering events in Jersey City and Monsey, we are reminded ever more of our tenuous Golus-situation and the need for vigilance and security. The Kehilla has implemented the following new security measure: Access to the Shul now requires the use of a code. The only two doors to be used to enter the Shul are the front left door (main entrance) and the ramp door (south side). All women should use the ramp door (only) when entering the Shul. We realize that this is an inconvenience, but the Board believes that it is a necessary step to take in light of recent events. The Board of Trustees is considering additional security measures as well, which will also cover 90 Bennett Avenue. At a recent meeting with elected officials and police, the police department’s dedicated Houses of Worship squad car was mentioned; this car makes periodic check-up patrols around neighborhood Shuls.

    Racial Equity and Justice for Our Black Communities Consumer sentiment, news, and resources related to the impact of racial injustice on African Americans WEEKLY DIGEST June 3, 2020 In the past we have stopped to reflect on and respond to the COVID-19 crisis; however, in the wake of the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and many others, we must make space to address the racial inequalities and injustices that directly impact African Americans every day. We have reached a point where staying neutral is not an option. As Desmond Tutu has said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” At Arnold and Havas Media Boston, we feel strongly about improving racial justice and supporting Black communities. We have repurposed this week’s Digest to shed light on the issues taking place in our society today. We must speak up, go out to vote, and commit to taking meaningful action towards a better world for us all. We strongly believe that brands should do the same.

  • 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.
