Personally, I am reminded of a thought by Rav Yitzchak Hutner. He noted that in Hebrew, the word “modeh” has two meanings: to thank, as in “Todah rab- bah”; and also to admit, as in “modeh b’miktzat.” What is the connection between these two meanings? Rav Hutner suggested that the first step in giving thanks is to admit and recognize the tremendous gift given. Once I admit to that, and recognize that it doesn’t all come from me, then I am able to give thanks to the giver. We use both of these meanings each time we daven. “Modim anachnu Lach— we admit to You,” “she’Attah hu Hashem Elokeinu—that you are our G-d,” You are the source of all our blessing. Only then do we say, “Nodeh lecha u’nsapeir t’hi- lasecha, al chayeinu,” Thank You for giv- ing us life, for giving us our neshamah. My wife and I recognize the tremen- dous siyatta d’Shmaya that Hashem, along with His shalichim, has given us throughout our move. The services of Misrad HaKlittah, along with the con- stant support of the Nefesh B’Nefesh staff, make the landing that much softer for all olim. What other country pays for your flight and gives you several months of financial help, in order to help get you on your feet? It certainly is not the same welcome that Avraham Avinu received upon reaching Eretz Canaan. The kids are acclimating, and con- tinue to adjust. Of course, every child is in their own respective situation, with the ups and downs that are to be expected in a new country, with a new school system, a new group of friends, and a new language to learn. But on the whole, it has been a tremendous berachah, a wonderful experience for all. Each of them has a great chevrah, they are understanding more and more with the daily ulpan help they receive, and they are slowly losing the feeling of being olim chadashim. They are not even conscious of some of the magic which they are experienc- ing. When my six-year-old, Naama, takes an apple from the fridge and asks inno- cently, “Does it have kedushah?” it gives me goose bumps. When, during Tishrei, my 5th- and 7th-graders each have mid- night walks in Jerusalem’s Old City, walking on the same hallowed ground as the great Biblical and Talmudic figures, Dovid and Shlomo, followed by Shammai and Hillel, culminating with saying Selichot at the Kotel, it helps me understand what it was that made me uproot a comfortable Five Towns family and move them across the world to start a new stage in their collective lives. When, on Friday afternoon, we finish our Shabbat preparations early and then drive 15 minutes to take a quick pre- Shabbat tiyul, to grab a glimpse of where Dovid haMelech felled the giant Golyat, we realize just how special is this land in which we live. So yes, we admit and rec- ognize the gift that Hashem has given us, and thank Him for the opportunity to be part of our ongoing national history and destiny.

  • A Seigniorage Perspective on the Introduction of a Palestinian Currency
    A Seigniorage Perspective on the Introduction of a Palestinian Currency Aire Arnon and Avia Spivak Discussion Paper No. 95.04 May 1995 Any views expressed in the Discussion Paper series are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Bank of Israel. Research Department, Bank of Israel, POB 780, Jerusalem 91007, Israel A Seigniorage Perspective on the introduction ofa Palesitnian Currency ^ I Introduction In the economic agreements between the Palestinians and both Israel and Jordan, it was decided to postpone the issue of an independent Palestinian currency to later negotiations.1 While the introduction of an independent currency has political aspects, it certainly has economic implications for the development of the Palestinian economy. Prior to the interim arrangements of 1994, the two areas had no money of their own, no monetary authorities and very limited financial intermediation. The civil administration running the areas did not issue debts, neither internal nor external. Thus, monetary and fiscal policies, in the traditional meaning of these terms, did not exist, with all the implications for the economies of the West Bank and Gaza. The money used in the West Bank and Gaza since 1967 was Israeli money (New Israeli Shekels ­ NIS since 1985 and old Shekels and the Israeli Lira ­ IL, prior to this date) and Jordanian money (Jordanian Dinar ­ JD) which was legal tender only in the West Bank. The financial system was relatively undeveloped. The Jordanian Cairo­Amman Bank had received permission to open branches in the West Bank in 1986, but in 1993 only nine branches of the bank were functioning in the West Bank.

  • Forecasting the Exchange Rate of the Jordanian Dinar Versus the US Dollar Using a Box-Jenkins Seasonal ARIMA Model
    b b International Journal of Mathematics and M Computer Science, 15(2020), no. 1, 27–40 CS Forecasting the Exchange Rate of the Jordanian Dinar versus the US Dollar Using a Box-Jenkins Seasonal ARIMA Model Remal Shaher Al-Gounmeein1,2, Mohd Tahir Ismail2 1Mathematics Department Al-Hussein Bin Talal University Jordan 2 School of Mathematical Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia Malaysia email: [email protected], [email protected] (Received July 16, 2019, Accepted September 11, 2019) Abstract Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model was fitted for the time series data either to better understand the data or to predict the future points in the series (forecasting). Us- ing the forecasting for the exchange rate is very important at the na- tional, regional and international levels. It can help investors minimize financial risk as well maximize earnings in the volatility of the global economy. The aim of this study was to use the time series model to forecast the exchange rate of Jordan dinar based on the monthly data collected for Jordanian dinar vs US dollar. Exchange rate prediction is performed using two methods; Autoregressive Integrated Moving Av- erage (ARIMA) and Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Av- erage (SARIMA) time series. After comparing the forecasting method using ARIMA (1, 0, 1) and SARIMA (1, 0, 1)(1, 0, 0)12 models, we find that the second model shows a smaller mean absolute percentage er- ror (MAPE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error Key words and phrases: ARIMA, SARIMA, Jordanian Dinar, Modeling, R software, Time series, Forecasting.

  • The Empire Strikes: the Growth of Roman Infrastructural Minting Power, 60 B.C
    The Empire Strikes: The Growth of Roman Infrastructural Minting Power, 60 B.C. – A.D. 68 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Classics of the College of Arts and Sciences by David Schwei M.A., University of Cincinnati, December 2012 B.A., Emory University, May 2009 Committee Chairs: Peter van Minnen, Ph.D Barbara Burrell, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Coins permeated the Roman Empire, and they offer a unique perspective into the ability of the Roman state to implement its decisions in Italy and the provinces. This dissertation examines how this ability changed and grew over time, between 60 B.C. and A.D. 68, as seen through coin production. Earlier scholars assumed that the mint at Rome always produced coinage for the entire empire, or they have focused on a sudden change under Augustus. Recent advances in catalogs, documentation of coin hoards, and metallurgical analyses allow a fuller picture to be painted. This dissertation integrates the previously overlooked coinages of Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt with the denarius of the Latin West. In order to measure the development of the Roman state’s infrastructural power, this dissertation combines the anthropological ideal types of hegemonic and territorial empires with the numismatic method of detecting coordinated activity at multiple mints. The Roman state exercised its power over various regions to different extents, and it used its power differently over time. During the Republic, the Roman state had low infrastructural minting capacity.
