Thick steel walls protect the new AMIA building that we toured and our visit to the Com- munidad Amijai Conservative synagogue for Shabbat services entailed entering through steel gates with the modern synagogue set in a park-like expanse far back from the street. “What you notice first are the anti-terror- ist pylons in front of the building, some- thing we aren’t used to seeing in front of our places of worship in America,” said congregant Laura Kohn. “But once inside, the tension melted away and we were enveloped in a warm, open space, a huge contrast to the world outside. “Inside the beautiful sanctuary, we par- ticipated in a most moving, song-filled Courtyard of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Aid Associationheadquarters, service held entirely in Hebrew and which was re-built after a 1994 bombing.

  • The Presbyterian Church and Zionism Unsettled: Its Antecedents, and Its Antisemitic Legacy
    religions Article The Presbyterian Church and Zionism Unsettled: Its Antecedents, and Its Antisemitic Legacy Cary Nelson English Department, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA; [email protected] Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 20 June 2019; Published: 22 June 2019 Abstract: The new millennium has seen increased hostility to Israel among many progressive constituencies, including several mainline Protestant churches. The evangelical community in the US remains steadfastly Zionist, so overall support for financial aid to Israel remain secure. But the cultural impact of accusations that Israel is a settler colonialist or apartheid regime are nonetheless serious; they are proving sufficient to make support for the Jewish state a political issue for the first time in many decades. Despite a general movement in emphasis from theology to politics in church debate, there remain theological issues at the center of church discussion. The Protestant church with the longest running and most well-funded anti-Zionist constituency is the Presbyterian church in the US. In the last decade, its Israel/Palestine Mission Network (IPMN) has produced several increasingly anti-Zionist books designed to propel divestment resolutions in the church’s annual meeting. The most widely debated of these was 2014’s Zionism Unsettled: A Congregational Study Guide. This essay mounts a detailed analysis and critique of the book which documents the IPMN’s steady movement toward antisemitic positions. Among the theological issues underlying debate in Protestant denominations are the status of the divine covenant with the Jewish people, the role that the gift of land has as part of that covenant, and the nature of the characterization of the Jews as a “chosen people”.

  • Max Weber and Gershom Scholem on Jewish Eschatology and Academic Labor
    Modern Intellectual History (2021), 1–18 doi:10.1017/S1479244321000329 FORUM: HISTORY’S RELIGION A University in Zion: Max Weber and Gershom Scholem on Jewish Eschatology and Academic Labor Yael Almog* The School of Modern Languages and Cultures, Durham University *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 10 April 2020; revised 25 February 2021; accepted 2 March 2021) In his “Science as Vocation,” Weber equates rational academic conduct with Jewish ethics. For Weber, the Jewish tradition, which separates moral conduct from messianism, is emblematic of scientists’ strenuous distinction of empiricism from metaphysics. The emergence of a Zionist university in Jerusalem, an institute that was positioned as a part of a Jewish nation-building project, complicated this parallel. This article examines Gershom Scholem’s activist approach to Jewish studies as a fundamental revision of the Weberian model of scholarship with the significant role that this model destines to the Jewish tradition. Scholem’s vision of scholarship at the Zionist university constitutes Jewish eschatology as a pillar of a scholastic national tradition. Scholem’s portrayal of Jewish messianism as an insular tradition overturns Weber’s portrayal of Jewish ethics as a lesson for Western academia. Reading Scholem with Weber shows that the enterprise of founding a university in Jerusalem ran counter to European liberal conceptions of Judaism. Moreover, reading them together shows Scholem’s notion of academic labor to reinstitute a separatist theological ethos as a formative model for scholarship. It remains fairly unknown that Max Weber, an eminent commentator on the echoes of religious traditions in modern politics, reflected on the Zionist appropri- ation of biblical narratives.

    Israeli-Arab Negotiations: Background, Conflicts, and U.S. Policy Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs January 29, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33530 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Israeli-Arab Negotiations: Background, Conflicts, and U.S. Policy Summary After the first Gulf war, in 1991, a new peace process consisting of bilateral negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon achieved mixed results. Milestones included the Israeli-Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Declaration of Principles (DOP) of September 13, 1993, providing for Palestinian empowerment and some territorial control, the Israeli-Jordanian peace treaty of October 26, 1994, and the Interim Self-Rule in the West Bank or Oslo II accord of September 28, 1995, which led to the formation of the Palestinian Authority (PA) to govern the West Bank and Gaza Strip. However, Israeli-Syrian negotiations were intermittent and difficult, and postponed indefinitely in 2000. Israeli-Lebanese negotiations also were unsuccessful, leading Israel to withdraw unilaterally from south Lebanon on May 24, 2000. President Clinton held a summit with Israeli and Palestinian leaders at Camp David on final status issues that July, but they did not produce an accord. A Palestinian uprising or intifadah began in September. On February 6, 2001, Ariel Sharon was elected Prime Minister of Israel, and rejected steps taken at Camp David and afterwards. On April 30, 2003, the United States, the U.N., European Union, and Russia (known as the “Quartet”) presented a “Road Map” to Palestinian statehood. It has not been implemented.
