In 2010, Kaniuk petitioned the Interior Ministry to change his status on the population register from “Jewish” to “no religion.”…“I am now over 81 and not healthy, and I would really like a decision to be made very soon about my request,” said Kaniuk in his petition. “My request is very important to me.” Kaniuk explained that while he did not want to convert to another religion, he has never identified as a religious Jew. 3 http://www.ani-israeli.org/I am Israeli/ Prof. Uzzi Ornan /09.08.08, 16:07 … Out of its 120 nationalities, the Ministry of Interior fails to recognize just one relevant one-the Israeli nationality… In order to allow Israelis who wish to be known as just that – Israelis, with no religious or ethnic denomination – the Ani Israeli ("I am Israeli") Association filed a motion with the Jerusalem District Court, asking it to order the Ministry of Interior to list the petitioners as "Israelis" in all official documents4. 5Assi Dayan, the son of Israeli general ….

  • Down with Britain, Away with Zionism: the 'Canaanites'
    DOWN WITH BRITAIN, AWAY WITH ZIONISM: THE ‘CANAANITES’ AND ‘LOHAMEY HERUT ISRAEL’ BETWEEN TWO ADVERSARIES Roman Vater* ABSTRACT: The imposition of the British Mandate over Palestine in 1922 put the Zionist leadership between a rock and a hard place, between its declared allegiance to the idea of Jewish sovereignty and the necessity of cooperation with a foreign ruler. Eventually, both Labour and Revisionist Zionism accommodated themselves to the new situation and chose a strategic partnership with the British Empire. However, dissident opinions within the Revisionist movement were voiced by a group known as the Maximalist Revisionists from the early 1930s. This article analyzes the intellectual and political development of two Maximalist Revisionists – Yonatan Ratosh and Israel Eldad – tracing their gradual shift to anti-Zionist positions. Some questions raised include: when does opposition to Zionist politics transform into opposition to Zionist ideology, and what are the implications of such a transition for the Israeli political scene after 1948? Introduction The standard narrative of Israel’s journey to independence goes generally as follows: when the British military rule in Palestine was replaced in 1922 with a Mandate of which the purpose was to implement the 1917 Balfour Declaration promising support for a Jewish ‘national home’, the Jewish Yishuv in Palestine gained a powerful protector. In consequence, Zionist politics underwent a serious shift when both the leftist Labour camp, led by David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), and the rightist Revisionist camp, led by Zeev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky (1880-1940), threw in their lot with Britain. The idea of the ‘covenant between the Empire and the Hebrew state’1 became a paradigm for both camps, which (temporarily) replaced their demand for a Jewish state with the long-term prospect of bringing the Yishuv to qualitative and quantitative supremacy over the Palestinian Arabs under the wings of the British Empire.

  • The Hebrew Language Council from 1904 to 1914*
    Bulletin of the SOAS, 73, 1 (2010), 45–64. © School of Oriental and African Studies, 2010. doi:10.1017/S0041977X09990346 Revisiting the language factor in Zionism: The Hebrew Language Council from 1904 to 1914* İlker Aytürk Bilkent University, Turkey [email protected] Abstract The role of language and linguistic-philological studies in the nationalist movements of the nineteenth century received much attention. The aim of this article is to focus on the language factor in Zionism and the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language in the Yishuv between 1904 and 1914. Founded in 1904, the Hebrew Language Council was expected to enhance the process of revival and, from the very beginning, an unmistakably nationalist attitude to its subject matter marked the Council’s agenda. However, the authority of the Council to make binding decisions on lin- guistic matters was contested by a number of other Zionist institutions, a development which ruined the prestige and effectiveness of the Council. The controversy resulted less from a turf war or quarrels over scarce resources than a deeper question of which institution represented the “true” Hebraic spirit. The World Zionist Organization’s decision to de- align from cultural matters, including the revival of Hebrew, worsened the conditions under which the Council operated. From a comparative per- spective, thus, the Hebrew case provides an unusual case of linguistic nationalism, which should be of interest to students of both nationalism and sociolinguistics. The majority of the scholars in the field of nationalism studies today agree on the modernity of nations and believe nations to be “constructs”, “artefacts” or “ima- gined communities”, invented by a host of nationalist ideologues since the late eighteenth century.

  • Review of the Book Grammar of Mouth and Ear/ Uzzi
    REVIEWS The title of Chapter 12 is ‘The Untimeliness of Biblical Philology’. It echoes Nietzsche’s Untimely Observations, which called for ‘a new kind of philology, one that disturbs contemporary culture’ (p. 297), ‘a philological practice that is self- reflective and aware of its own contradictions’ (p. 299). Similarly, Erasmus envi- sioned a philologically literate Christianity (p. 301). Theologically, Buxtorf ‘held there were no errors in the textus receptus of the Hebrew Bible’ (p. 305), but Cappel countered — against the assumptions of the age — that ‘we are not here contending with authority, but with reason’ (304–5). Biblical philology, textual criticism, ‘is untimely. It goes against the grain of habitual and unexamined doxa; it brings to Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/jss/article-abstract/63/2/520/5076100 by guest on 07 September 2018 thought what usually goes without thinking’ (p. 311). Chapter 13, ‘From Polyglot to Hypertext’, contrasts the historical, cultural, and complex theological background of the Complutensian Polyglot with the historical and ideological background of the HBCE a half-millennium later. Both aimed at presenting the plurality of the HB. Technologically, the Polyglot was made possible by the invention of the printing press, whereas the HBCE will use digital technology to present a virtual polyglot with unlimited juxtaposition of hypertexts of all the texts, editions, and versions, supplemented by photographs of manuscripts, present- ing ‘the whole textual life of the Bible’s books’ (p. 327). The volume concludes with an ‘Appendix: Comparing Critical Editions: BHQ Proverbs and HBCE Proverbs’, a Bibliography, a Citations Index and a Modern Authors Index.

I wish to thank in particular my main supervisor Dr. Ron Levy for his invaluable comments, suggestions and guidance. I would also like to thank Prof. Kim Rubenstein for her insightful comments and continuing encouragement, Associate Prof. Afshin Akhtar-Khavari for his feedback and my partner Felicity Hammond for her support. This thesis is dedicated to my father, Shlomo Keinan, who always inspired me to read and to learn. v vi Abstract The boundaries of citizenship are increasingly contested. The trend among scholars is to try to expand the state’s responsibilities and duties to include non-citizens in the relevant polity. Legal, social and political theorists ask whether citizenship can or should exist beyond the nation state and a defined territory. This debate closely relates to the burgeoning research regarding diaspora communities and their connections with their countries of origin or homelands (‘kin-states’). Diaspora communities have always maintained some level of interest in the affairs of their kin- states, but globalisation and advanced communication technologies have made it easier for people in the diaspora to engage in activities that are directed at the political and social life of their kin-states.

Phonemic Conversion as the Ideal Romanization Scheme for Hebrew: Implications for Hebrew Cataloging Author Biography & Related Information Uzzi Ornan (born 1923) is a professor of Hebrew linguistics and natural language processing at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, and a member of the Academy of the Hebrew Language. In 1944, Ornan was detained in a British detention camp in Eritrea, where he taught Hebrew grammar to his fellow detainees from Erets Israel. In 1947, still in the camp, he published his Grammar of Mouth and Ear. After the detainees were freed in 1948 the book was reprinted in abridged edition several times in Israel. In 2016, Ornan completed a thoroughly revised edition of the book, compatible with current progress of linguistics (Jerusalem: The eH brew University Magnes Press). Associated with the Canaanite movement, Ornan established the League against Religious Coercion (1950) and has been active in the separation of church and state movement in Israel ever since.

Editor’s Note / Judaica Librarianship 19 (2016) 1–2 Editor’s Note The contributions in Volume 19 of Judaica Librarianship shed light on diverse aspects of our discipline, both in practice and theory. More than the sum of its parts, this issue conveys, in my mind, a sense of recognition of the true force behind the library institution. Librarians are those who shape collections and services, who are entrusted with increasing their home institutions’ cultural weight within the community; librarians are the keepers of cultural memory, those who let it be preserved or forgotten in libraries, as late Umberto Eco proclaimed.1 This issue revisits these professional duties and I hope that as much as it is thought-provoking you will find it in- vigorating. The opening article in this issue introduces an archival collection that encompasses a variety of formats and subject matters, all springing from the personality and life experiences of Rabbi Zal- man Schachter-Shalomi who donated his papers to the University of Colorado. Curator Steph- anie Yuhas guides us in this paper through the facets of the Schachter-Shalomi Collection and documents the process that brought together multiple materials acquired through several acces- sions—artifacts such as the Rainbow talit; print materials ranging from printouts of fax messag- es to posters to handwritten notes to books; and visual, audio, and video items in various formats, including born-digitized —to create a collection that focuses on the Jewish Renewal movement as part of the Post-Holocaust American Judaism Archive at the University of Colorado.
