  • My Life's Story
    My Life’s Story By Eliyahu Yekutiel Shwartz 1915-2000 Biography of Lieutenant Colonel Eliyahu Yekutiel Shwartz Z”L , the son of Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Shwartz Z”L , and Rivka Shwartz, née Klein Z”L Gilad Jacob Joseph Gevaryahu Editor and Footnote Author David H. Wiener Editor, English Edition 2005 Merion Station, Pennsylvania This book was published by the Eliyahu Yekutiel Shwartz Memorial Committee. Copyright © 2005 Yona Shwartz & Gilad J. Gevaryahu Printed in Jerusalem Alon Printing 02-5388938 Editor’s Introduction Every Shabbat morning, upon entering Lower Merion Synagogue, an Orthodox congregation on the outskirts of the city of Philadelphia, I began by exchanging greetings with the late Lt. Colonel Eliyahu Yekutiel Shwartz. He used to give me news clippings and booklets which, in his opinion, would enhance my knowledge. I, in turn, would express my personal views on current events, especially related to our shared birthplace, Jerusalem. Throughout the years we had an unwritten agreement; Eliyahu would have someone at the Israeli Consulate of Philadelphia fax the latest news in Hebrew to my office (Eliyahu had no fax machine at the time), and I would deliver the weekly accumulation of faxes to his house on Friday afternoons before Shabbat. This arrangement lasted for years. Eliyahu read the news, and distributed the material he thought was important to other Israelis and especially to our mutual friend Dr. Michael Toaff. We all had an inherent need to know exactly what was happening in Israel. Often, during my frequent visits to Israel, I found that I was more current on happenings in Israel than the local Israelis.

  • The Promise and Failure of the Zionist-Maronite Relationship, 1920-1948
    The Promise and Failure of the Zionist-Maronite Relationship, 1920-1948 Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Ilan Troen, Graduate Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree by Scott Abramson February 2012 Acknowledgements I cannot omit the expression of my deepest gratitude to my defense committee, the formidable triumvirate of Professors Troen, Makiya, and Salameh. To register my admiration for these scholars would be to court extravagance (and deplete a printer cartridge), so I shall have to limit myself to this brief tribute of heartfelt thanks. ii ABSTRACT The Promise and Failure of the Zionist-Maronite Relationship, 1920-1948 A thesis presented to the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Scott Abramson Much of the historiography on the intercourse between Palestinian Jews and Lebanese Maronites concerns only the two peoples’ relations in the seventies and eighties. This thesis, in contrast, attempts a departure from this scholarship, joining the handful of other works that chart the history of the Zionist-Maronite relationship in its earliest incarnation. From its inception to its abeyance beginning in 1948, this almost thirty-year relationship was marked by a search of a formal alliance. This thesis, by presenting a panoptical survey of early Zionist-Maronite relations, explores the many dimensions of this pursuit. It details the Zionists and Maronites’ numerous commonalities that made an alliance desirable and apparently possible; it profiles the specific elements among the Zionists and Maronites who sought an entente; it examines each of the measures the two peoples took to this end; and it analyzes why this protracted pursuit ultimately failed.

ZIONISM, RACISM AND THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE - I ZIONISM, RACISM, AND THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE: FIFTY YEARS OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN ISRAEL AND THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES ARDI lMSEISt The magnitude of Israeli human rights violations against the Palestinian people has been well documented by independent scholars, and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations such as the United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch. However, relatively little has been written regarding the role the official Israeli state ideology has played in encouraging and upholding the Jewish state's policies regarding the indigenous Palestinians. Set against the backdrop of the fiftieth anniversaries of both the establishment of the State of Israel, and the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the author partially surveys Israel's prolonged violation of Palestinian human rights and argues that the Jewish state is a racist state owing to its unwavering commitment to Zionism.

The unique circumstances of Israel’s formative years intensified the far-reaching social and economic effects of the regulation. At the same time, the judicial system that oversaw the regulation duringthisperiodwasbesetbyavarietyof administrative and organizational problems. Although the authorities realized that there was an urgent need to replace the Mandatory arrangements, it was only in 1954 that new legislation was enacted, when a number of developments such as the rise of the General Zionists Party, the new economic policy, and deep changes in public opinion led to the annulment of the Mandatory laws.

  • From Altneuland to the New Promised Land: a Study of the Evolution and Americanization of the Israeli Economy
    From Altneuland to the New Promised Land: A Study of the Evolution and Americanization of the Israeli Economy Avi Kay Israel is often seen as an economic miracle. An examination of the evolution of the Israeli economy from the prestate period until today allows a glimpse into both the initial underlying values of the Israeli economy as well as the dramatic crises, develop- ments, and events that have shaped contemporary Israeli society. From a primarily agricultural-based, semisocialistic economy, Israel has emerged as one of the fastest- growing economies in the world and a leader both in high-tech and in income in- equality. This work surveys the history of the Israeli economy and suggests possible future directions it may take. The summer of 2011 will likely be remembered as a period of unprecedented in- terest, agitation, and protest with regard to the economic realities of contempo- rary Israeli society. Indeed, the Israeli economy has undergone profound changes since the process of “liberalization” began in the mid-1980s. These changes were the result of a fundamental paradigm shift regarding the dominant economic ideology of Israeli policymakers toward a belief in the correctness—if not the necessity—of transforming the Israel economy into one in which market forces dominate. The changes in economic ideology and policy, and their subsequent impact both on the structure and performance of the economy and on Israeli society on the whole, are often referred to as representing the “Americanization” of the Is- raeli economy producing market dynamics and a society ever more similar to the American Jewish experience.
