  • When Scholarship Disturbs Narrative: Ian Lustick on Israel's Migration
    FORUM When Scholarship Disturbs Narrative Ian Lustick on Israel’s Migration Balance Comment by Sergio DellaPergola ABSTRACT: In response to Ian Lustick’s article on Israel’s migration bal- ance in the previous issue of Israel Studies Review, I question the author’s (lack of) theoretical frame, data handling, and conclusions, all set up against a robust narrative. I show that, until 2010, Israel displayed a posi- tive, if weakened, migration balance and that immigration trends contin- ued to reflect conditions among Diaspora Jewish populations more than Israel’s absorption context. Emigration rates from Israel, while admittedly difficult to measure, were objectively moderate and proportionally lower, for example, than those of Switzerland, a more developed country of similar size, or those of ethnic Germans returning to and then again leav- ing Germany. The main determinants of emigration from Israel—namely, ‘brain drain’—consistently related to socio-economic changes and not to security. I also reject Lustick’s assumptions about the ideological bias of Israel’s research community when dealing with international migration. Scholarship about Israel should not ignore global contextualization and international comparisons. KEYwords: aliyah, economy, emigration, immigration, Israel, Lustick, security, yeridah, Zionism The question whether objective truth can be attributed to human thinking is not a question of theory but is a practical question. Man must prove the truth—i.e., the reality and power, the this-sidedness of his thinking, in practice. The dispute over the reality or non-reality of thinking that is isolated from practice is a purely scholastic question. — Marx, Theses on Feuerbach Don’t confuse us with your data: we know the situation.

  • Architect Joseph Klarwein Was the Winner of the 1957 Contest for Planning the Knesset Building on Givat Ram
    Handout 1 Knesset Architect Joseph Klarwein was the winner of the 1957 contest for planning the Knesset building on Givat Ram. His initial proposal presented at the contest was ultimately very different than the building that was inaugurated on August 30th 1966. In fact, it was influenced by different architects that were involved in different parts of the planning and construction throughout its nine years, and among them were architect Dov Carmi and his son Ram. In textbooks written on the Knesset building, it is claimed that the planners intended to build a construction similar to the Greek Acropolis. Those who worked on the building programs before the contest had very little idea on how they wanted the building to look, and the result – an architectural mixture – surprisingly resembled the building of the United States’ embassy in Athens. The embassy was designed by the renowned Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius, which was later considered as a specimen of the “International Style.” Klarwein’s original model was comprised of a rectangular construction with 20 columns on its front and back, 15 columns on each side, and two internal yards on the eastern and western sides of the plenum hall found at the center of the building. The entrance to the building was to be on its northern front. The constructed building was square, with 10 columns on all sides, and with no internal yards; the plenum is not at its center, but on its eastern part; and west to the plenum hall there is a reception hall. This hall is named “Chagall State Hall,” as it is decorated with art created by the Russian-born Jewish artist, Marc Chagall.

  • Education, Design and Practice ​– Understanding Skills in a Complex
    Education, Design and Practice – Understanding ​ skills in a Complex World • Paper / Proposal Title: How to Escape an Illustrated Palace? Escape Room as a Teaching Tool at the Herzog Collage for Teachers • Author(s) Name: Tzachi Cohen • University or Company Affiliation: Herzog Academic Collage for Teachers and Ono Academic Collage • Abstract (300 words): The world of Teaching and Education has been preoccupied for the last several years with the task of reshaping it's methods of action. In the face of rapidly developing world of media and the shrinking to micro-bytes of the spans of attention, Education finally departed from the age-long model of a talking teacher standing in front of a listening class. Different, and better, alternatives were articulated and suggested. The activity suggested and described here is a shrewd and original answer to the question how to teach without teaching, how can a group of students enjoy acting as a group and expressing their strengths as individuals, face challenge and still obtain new "knowledge", accumulate "learning material"- i.e. be exposed to new facts. The writer has thought up and preformed an escape room concerning the life and works of Nobel Prize winning Hebrew author S.Y. Agnon. This activity, this game, an educational charade was built on pillers of academic knowledge, but this knowledge was well concealed in the game. The players-students experience the activity as a game but are knowinglessly lured into a world of contance. The solution here by suggested innovations from the Study of Learning. Memory and learning are a world of ties, thick or thin.
