3 YAD IZHAK BEN-ZVI Institute for Research on Eretz Israel

Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi was established in 1969 by law as a state insituion for the commemoraion of Izhak Ben-Zvi (1883-1963), a prominent of the Yishuv and Israel’s second president (1952-1963). Ben-Zvi’s heritage embodied in Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi had been deined in the Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi Law as the study of the Jewish presence in the , the study of Jerusalem, where Ben-Zvi lived most of his life, and of the Jewish communiies in the East. The iniial context of these deiniions were the territorial and historical claims of the Zionist movement and the efort to establish a naional collecive idenity with a territorial base. Hence the insituion’s mission was primarily educaional, directed both internally and externally in establishing Zionism as the embodiment of the naional-historical claims of the Jewish people (e.g. in Ben-Zvi’s statement to the Anglo-American Commitee of Inquiry on Palesine in 1946, on behalf of Ha’Va’ad Haleumi). Accordingly the Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi Law sipulated that the ‘Yad’ will endeavor to deepen Jewish awareness of the coninuity of Jewish presence in the Land of Israel. This was to be realized through scholarly research in the Western tradiion of naional histories using a variety of academic disciplines such as archaeology, history based on primary sources, the study of folklore, oral history etc. Addiionally the ‘Yad’ will both publish and teach the fruits of this research in an academic and accessible form. Over the years the poliical context of Israeli studies in Israel has changed. Today the study of the Land of Israel and its people from pre-historic imes has largely shed its poliical bias. The legiimacy of subjects for research is based today on academic quality and their relevance to the study of the Land of Israel in all historical periods and from all aspects. Indeed the jusiicaion for the ‘Yad’s’ support from public funds is its educaional work for the beneit of the academic community as well as the general public, including students of all ages and at all levels, professionals and amateurs alike. In the words of I. L. Peretz “Those who do not know how to preserve the treasures of their past cannot be considered a naion”. In Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi, we research the history of Jewish communiies in the East, the history of Eretz Israel throughout the ages, and the history of the Yishuv and the State of Israel. Hence, there is a clear idenity between Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi’s goals and those of the AIS, including the research of the heritage of the Jews in the East and in the Land of Israel and passing it on to future generaions. It is thus iing that Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi and, within it, the Insitute for the Study of Eretz Israel co-host the 2016 annual AIS conference represening the vast variety of disciplines and the impressive diversity of academic insitutes dedicated to the study of Israel.

Welcome to Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi!

4 The Menachem Begin Heritage Center is delighted to be hosing this impressive conference. The Center commemorates the life and legacy of Israel’s sixth Prime Minister – a statesman, commander of the pre-state underground resistance and Nobel peace Laureate. In keeping with the itle of this conference, Menachem Begin was a man who stood with one foot in the East, with his unshakeable connecion to the Land of Israel and its history; and one foot in the West, as a lifelong advocate of liberalism and democracy. We hope you will enjoy your ime at the Begin Center and invite you to visit our museum, library and archive, which provide invaluable resources for researchers throughout the year. I wish you an enlightening and successful conference.

Prof. Michael Feige, a long-ime AIS member and a former AIS Board member, was one of the vicims of the terror atack in central Tel-Aviv on Wednesday night, June 8. Michael was a gentle man and a sensiive teacher. His scholarship earned him the annual Shapira Prize in 2010 of the Associaion for Israel Studies for the best book published in Israel Studies: “Setling in the Hearts; Jewish Fundamentalism in the Occupied Territories.” A graduate of the Hebrew University in sociology and anthropology, much of his work was focused on memory and idenity in Israeli poliics and culture. He engaged in original research on the setlement movement and Gush Emunim as well as on Peace Now, the use of archaeology in contemporary Israel, the assassinaion of Rabin and religious fundamentalism, and the place of Ben-Gurion in naional memory. Ater his degree he spent a year as a Fellow of the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and then returned to Israel where he joined the Ben-Gurion Research Center for the Study of Israel and Zionism at the Ben-Gurion University campus in Sde Boker. He was also a Visiing Professor at Brandeis (Schusterman Center for Israel Studies, NEJS and Anthropology). In recent years he was serving as the head of the BGU program in Israel Studies . Michael was a member of this conference’s program commitee and was supposed to present this week his recent work enitled: “A wall in her heart: Rebranding Jerusalem through popular music” Michael Feige leaves a wife, Nurit, and three daughters, many friends and admirers. He will be sorely missed.
