Jewish State and Jewish Land Program Written in Jerusalem by Yonatan Glaser, UAHC Shaliach, 2003
December 2003 \ Kislev 5764 Jewish State and Jewish Land Program written in Jerusalem by Yonatan Glaser, UAHC Shaliach, 2003 Rationale We live in a time where taking an interest in Israel is not taken for granted and where supporting Israel, certainly in parts of our public life like on campus, may be done at a price. Even in the best of times, it is important to be conceptually clear why we Jews want our own country. What can and should it mean to us, how might it enrich and sustain us – those of us who live in it and those of us who do not? What might contributing to its well-being entail? If that is at the best of times, then this – one of the most difficult times in recent memory – is an excellent time to re- visit the basic ideas and issues connected to the existence of Israel as a Jewish state in the ancient Land of Israel. With this in mind, this program takes us on a ‘back to basics’ tour of Israel as a Jewish country in the Jewish Land. Objectives 1. To explore the idea of Jewish political independence. 2. To explore the meaning of Jewish historical connection to Eretz Yisrael 3. To learn about the Uganda Plan in order to recognize that issues connected to independence and living in Eretz Yisrael have been alive and relevant for at least the last 100 years. Time 1 hour and fifteen minutes Materials 1. Copies of the four options (Attachment #1) 2. White Board or poster Board. -

We generally sit alone reading documents in archives and write our articles and books without co-authors. But, this book could not have been written without material and moral assistance from colleagues, family and friends. Archival documents constitute the basis for the historical research that has led to the writing of this book. This research could not have been carried out without the devoted help and professional skill of archive workers in the United States and in Israel. My deepest thanks to those in the Central Zionist Archive in Jerusalem, in the Archive of the American Jewish Historical Society in New York, in the Yad Vashem Archive in Jerusalem and in the American Jewish Joint Distri- bution Committee (JDC) in New York and Jerusalem. -
1897 Zionist Congress: Basel, Switzerland
1897 Zionist Congress: Basel, Switzerland The first Zionist Congress was called by Theodor Herzl as a symbolic Parliament for those in sympathy with the implementation of Zionist goals. The Congress took place in the concert hall of the Basel Municipal Casino on August 29, 1897. There is some dispute as to the exact number of participants at the First Zionist Congress; however, the approximate figure is 200 from seventeen countries, 69 of whom were delegates from various Zionist societies and the remainder was individual invitees. In attendance were also ten non-Jews who were expected to abstain from voting. Following a festive opening, the Congress got down to the business at hand. The main items on the agenda were the presentation of Herzl's plans, the establishment of the World Zionist Organization and the declaration of Zionism's goals-the Basel program. In the version submitted to the Congress on the second day of its deliberations (August 30) by a committee under the chairmanship of Max Nordau, it was stated: "The aim of Zionism is to create for the Jewish people a home in Eretz-Israel secured by law.” To meet halfway the request of numerous delegates, the most prominent of whom was Leo Motzkin, who sought the inclusion of the phrase “by international law,” a compromise formula proposed by Herzl was eventually adopted: Zionism seeks to establish a home for the Jewish people in Eretz-Israel secured under public law. The Congress contemplates the following means to the attainment of this end: 1. The promotion by appropriate means of the settlement in Eretz-Israel of Jewish farmers, artisans, and manufacturers. -
Question of the Pogroms’ in a Paris Courtroom in the 1920S: the Trial of Sholem Schwartzbard
Draft - do not cite or quote without author's permission The ‘Question of the Pogroms’ in a Paris Courtroom in the 1920s: the Trial of Sholem Schwartzbard Alexandra Garbarini Writing about the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1961, Hannah Arendt recalled two murder trials from the 1920s in Europe.1 In 1921, Soghomon Tehlirian, an Armenian man allegedly living as a student in Berlin, assassinated the former Ottoman Minister of the Interior, Talaat Pasha, for his responsibility in the expropriation, deportation, rape, and extermination of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire under the cover of World War I.2 Five years later in Paris, a Ukrainian Jewish man who had recently become a naturalized French citizen, Sholem Schwartzbard, shot and killed the Ukrainian nationalist leader, Simon Petlyura. Schwartzbard sought justice for the destruction of property, rape, and murder of tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian Jews during the years of the 1 Arendt referred to the Tehlirian and Schwartzbard trials in order to sharpen her critique of the Israeli state’s kidnapping of Eichmann and conduct of that trial. In Arendt’s view, the state of Israel had misunderstood the nature of the crime that had been committed against the Jewish people by Nazi Germany. Acting on the basis of its misunderstanding, it had lost sight of the principle that the authority of the court pertained to the law, not to history or morality. “The purpose of a trial is to render justice, and nothing else,” which in her view meant “to weigh the charges brought against the accused, to render judgment, and to mete out due punishment.” Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (New York: Penguin Books, 1994 [1963]), 253. -

Non- Territorial National Autonomy in Interwar European Minority
13 Non- Territorial National Autonomy in Interwar European Minority Protection and Its Habsburg Legacies Börries Kuzmany* What is the relationship between ethnic diversity and sovereign territoriality? Central Europe was a bustling laboratory for this question both before and after the dissolution of the Habsburg Empire. The notion of minority rights overseen by an international organization like the League of Nations was one of the most striking innovations of the interwar international order. From the perspective of Central European activists, scholars, and politicians, however, this system emerged as just one possible response to an older problem concerning the form of rights and jur- isdiction best suited to a region in which different ethnicities, languages, and reli- gions were densely intermingled. In fact, various thinkers had developed a number of bold proposals that sought to redefine the relationship between rights and terri- tory by forming national jurisdictions and communities on a corporate—and thus non- territorial— basis. This chapter traces the emergence of ‘non- territorial au- tonomy’, as this idea is referred to by scholars today, in the multinational Habsburg state and its translation into the area of interwar minority protection. At the very heart of this idea was the aim of disentangling the state from the na- tion, thereby making non- territorial autonomy the exact opposite of what was con- sidered the state of the art in 1918. Yet the true winner of the First World War was the idea of the nation state, which was realized even in those parts of Europe that had previously been ruled by the multinational Habsburg, Ottoman, and Romanov empires. -

THE LETTERS AND PAPERS OF CHAIM WEIZMANN November 1902 - August 1903 Volume II, Series A Introduction: Gedalia Yogev General Editor Meyer W. Weisgal, Editorial Direction Gedalia Yogev, Editor: English Edition Barnet Litvinoff, London, Oxford University Press, 1971 [Reprinted with express permission from the Weizmann Archives, Rehovot, Israel, by the Center for Israel Education www.israeled.org.] The second volume of the Weizmann Letters contains 423 letters written over a period of ten months, between November 1902 and August 1903. This compares with 320 letters in the first volume, which covers seventeen years, although the majority of them were written within a span of about two years. Most of the letters that Chaim Weizmann wrote during the 1902-3 period, when he was 28, came about mainly from the expansion of his public activity. These intensified efforts comprised the setting-up of a 'Jewish University Bureau' at Geneva, a more extensive exchange of correspondence with many people in all parts of the world, and the inception of an orderly office routine that embraced the copying of all outgoing letters and a meticulous filing system. After moving to Manchester in 1904, Weizmann transferred the archives of the Jewish University Bureau to that city, together with correspondence dealing with the affairs of the 'Democratic Fraction'. Consequently, these documents were preserved and, together with the rest of his archives, were ultimately deposited in the Weizmann Archives in Rehovoth. The character of the letters varies considerably during this period. Most were office communications, although these often struck a distinctly personal note. Towards the end of November 1902 the Bureau acquired a typewriter and thereafter most of the letters, including those sent to Russia, were written in German. -
