I am sorry you did not receive any of our communications. However, this is understandable since your schedule takes you to all four corners of the world. For your information, there is a private dais reception from 6:30 to 7:30 PM in the Brentwood Room of the Century Plaza Hotel. Invitations have been issued only to those individuals who will be seated on the dais. Both you and Mrs. Rubinstein, of course, will be among our distinguished dais guests. I am enclosing the agenda for the evening. The actual programs will not be ready until Wednesday. This should provide the timing and sequence of our program. The eve­ ning is one in which you will be honored with the Scopus Award, the most coveted and prestigious award of the American Friends of the Hebrew University. I am also pleased to tell you that we were fortunate in securing for our musical program one of your protegees, Janina Fialkowska, whom we were fortunate to hear during our recent visit to Jerusalem this past summer. Her concert on November 2nd in Pasadena made it possible for her to be with us.

  • Special Article Demographic Trends in Israel and Palestine: Prospects and Policy Implications
    Special Article Demographic Trends in Israel and Palestine: Prospects and Policy Implications BY SERGIO DELLAPERGOLA WHILE PUBLIC DEBATE tends to focus on issues of secu- rity and politics, the past, present, and future of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict are intimately and crucially related to the way demographic variables affect population size and composition. Therefore, a demographic perspective is essential in the search for a resolution.1 The conflict stems from ideological, historical, religious, and political differences that are rooted in ancient cultural traditions. It was during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries that the two sides provided new symbolic meanings, added new contentious frameworks, and reinforced old disagreements, rendering solutions more difficult. At the core of the contemporary confrontation, two peoples—Jews and Arabs—claim rights of settlement and po- litical sovereignty over the same territory they both view as home- land. The very name of that land—in Arab: Falastin, in Hebrew: Eretz Yisrael—is itself the subject of controversy. Around this principal bone of contention, two additional tiers further complicate the conflict. The first reflects the general hos- tility of Arab societies toward the State of Israel. This regional di- mension has been demonstrated by repeated, direct interventions by Middle Eastern countries and political movements in support of the Palestinian side of the conflict. The second tier relates to 'Early versions of this paper were presented at the XXIV General Population Confer- ence of the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population, Salvador de Bahia, Session 64, Population Change and Political Transitions (Chair: Massimo Livi Bacci; Dis- cussant: Alan Hill), August 2001; and at the David Patterson Seminar, Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Yarnton, October 2002.

  • Rememberance & Research, No. 1, (2016) English
    Introductory Note [3] We are pleased to present the first issue of Remembrance and Research – The Journal of the Israel Oral History Association (ILOHA) – a bi-lingual journal whose objective is to serve as an academic forum for articles dealing with oral history, and to publish reviews and information on the field. Remembrance and Research substitutes the bulletin of ILOHA that started to appear in 2003 as a booklet of eight pages in Hebrew, which gradually grew to 32 pages. The two last issues (8 & 9) were bilingual, and gained audiences and participants from abroad. In view of the higher quality of articles we received, and of the growing interest in the field of oral history, it was decided to publish this journal as a forum of debate and clarification on theoretical and practical aspects of oral history. This journal is designed to serve scholars, laypersons and professionals in the field. The first issue presents to the reader different problems related to oral history in the fields of the Holocaust, politics, military history, ethnic identity and old age. Abstracts: The Hebrew Section The Historian Versus the Testimony: Debates and Reflections Dalia Ofer Prof. Dalia Ofer analyzes the significance of the testimony for the historian, stressing the centrality of oral history in the study of the Shoa, and points out important landmarks in the development of the field. She describes the doubts that accompanied her research on the validity of personal testimonies with respect to other historical sources. She reaches the conclusion that testimonies have to be treated with Remembrance and Research, ILOHA, no.1, December 2015 The editors [4] respect and criticism, exactly as any other document.

    This chapter from Israel – A History by Martin Gilbert - published on www.sixdaywar.co.uk with the author’s permission. - To obtain this book please visit www.martingilbert.com CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE Nasser's challenge The first three months of 1967 were marked by repeated Syrian artillery bombardments and cross-border raids on the Israeli settlements in the north. Israeli air raids against Syrian positions on the Golan Heights would result in a few weeks' quiet, but then the attacks would begin again. On 7 April 1967 Syrian mortars on the Golan Heights began a barrage of fire on kibbutz Gadot, on the Israeli side of the B'not Yaakov bridge. More than 200 shells were fired before Israeli tanks moved into positions from which they could reach the Syrian mortars. As the Israeli tanks opened fire, the Syrian artillery did likewise. Firing quickly spread along the border to the north and south of Gadot. Then Israeli warplanes - Mirage fighter-bombers purchased from France - flew over the Syrian border and over the Golan Heights, strafing several Syrian strongholds and artillery batteries. Fifteen minutes later Syrian warplanes - Soviet MiG21s - took on the Israeli planes in aerial combat. Within a few minutes, six MiGs had been shot down and the rest chased eastwards to Damascus. The citizens of Damascus could see the Israeli planes between the capital and the snow-capped peak of Mount Hermon, Syria's highest mountain. One Israeli plane was shot down. Syria protested that Israel was preparing for war. In public, the Soviet Union supported this claim. In private, the Soviet Ambassador in Damascus warned the Syrians to restrain the Fatah raids into Israel.

  • A Record of Events and Trends in Merican and World Jewish Life
    Jewish 'ear Book A Record of Events and Trends in merican and World Jewish Life THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE THE 2000 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, the 100th in the series, continues to offer a unique chronicle of developments in areas of concern to Jews around the world. This year's volume marks the centennial of the YEAR BOOK and the close of the century with Jonathan D. Sarna and Jonathan J. Golden's illuminating analysis of "The Twentieth Century Through American Jewish Eyes: A History of the American Jewish Year Book, 1899-1999." Supplementing it is a 32-page photo insert, pre- pared by Ruth R. Seldin, which depicts the main themes of Jewish life during this tumultuous century from an American Jewish perspective. The volume also looks ahead to the new cen- tury. In "Prospecting the Jewish Future: Population Projections, 2000-2080," Sergio DellaPergola, Uzi Rebhun, and Mark Tolts survey the likely demographic scenarios for world Jewry and for individual Jewish communities. (Continued on back flap) $38.50 American Jewish Year Book The American Jewish Committee acknowledges with appreciation the foresight and wisdom of the founders of the Jewish Publication Soci- ety (of America) in the creation of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK in 1899, a work committed to providing a continuous record of de- velopments in the U.S. and world Jewish communities. For over a cen- tury JPS has occupied a special place in American Jewish life, pub- lishing and disseminating important, enduring works of scholarship and general interest on Jewish subjects. The American Jewish Committee assumed responsibility for the compilation and editing of the YEAR BOOK in 1908.
