    Joseph B. Glass ISOLATION AND ALIENATION: FACTORS IN THE GROWTH OF ZIONISM IN THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES, 1917–1939 1 Diverse local influences during the interwar years set Zionism in the Prairies apart from Zionism in other regions of the North America and the rest of the world. Membership in Zionist organizations in the Prairies grew rapidly in proportion, far beyond other areas in North America. Foundations for a strong Zionist movement had been established before World War I, but with the 1920s and 1930s came an unprecedented expansion. Furthermore, the per capita rate of immigration to Palestine from the Prairies exceeded the continental rate by at least five times.2 Explanations for the expansion of this ideological movement are drawn from the special nature and role played by Zionism in this region resulting from the unique physical and social envi- ronment. In more general terms, a rural population or a sparsely distributed population was the breeding ground for the nurturing of a distinct form of Zionism. Part of this development can be attributed to the tenor of Zionism nationally. Michael Brown pointed to two distinct roles played by Zionism in Canada. The national organizations, the Federation of Canadian Zionist Societies and its heir, the Zionist Organization of Canada “acted as the representative organization of Canadian Jewry,” from 1899 until 1934 with the reconstituting of the Canadian Jewish Congress. The umbrella Zionist organi- zations dealt also with varied issues: education, antisemitism, 86 Joseph B. Glass Jewish immigration, and others. Moreover, Zionism served as a cohesive force for Canadian Jewry.3 The special nature of Zionism in the Prairies has connections to the physical environment.

  • Felix Warburg and the Impact of Non-Zionists on the Hebrew University
    FELIX WARBURG AND THE IMPACT OF NON-ZIONISTS ON THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY: 1923-1933 By Jeffrey Lawrence Levin Submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of American University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Date 2018 American University Washington, D.C. 20016 © COPYRIGHT By Jeffrey Lawrence Levin 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii FELIX WARBURG AND THE IMPACT OF NON-ZIONISTS ON THE HEBREW UNIVERSITY: 1923-1933 BY Jeffrey Lawrence Levin ABSTRACT This dissertation addresses the impact on the founding of the Hebrew University of the group of individuals known as non-Zionists. Using the personage of Felix Warburg as an entrée into the origins of this cohort, it argues that the Hebrew University, like the Yishuv itself, was based on a wide spectrum of adherence to orthodox Zionism. Rather, there were many contributors who felt less strongly inclined towards Zionism than did Chaim Weizmann, and these individuals played a substantive role in shaping the course of the Jewish settlement in Palestine Felix Warburg, a naturalized American citizen born into a wealthy Hamburg banking family, is a perfect example of how support for the Hebrew University, the Jewish Agency, and the Yishuv did not require one to advocate for the future creation of a Jewish nation-state. Prior to his significant involvement with issues in Palestine, the main focus of Warburg’s philanthropy was in alleviating the abhorrent conditions of Jews in the Soviet Union and of those Jews who had recently emigrated to the United States and badly needed assistance in acculturating to New York City society.

  • University Vs. Society in a Period of Nation Building: the Hebrew University in Pre-State Israel
    04 FINAL Cohen:Layout 1 6/29/07 2:37 PM Page 81 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation ARTICLES / ARTICLES University vs. Society in a Period of Nation Building: The Hebrew University in Pre-State Israel Uri Cohen ABSTRACT This article examines the process by which the Hebrew University of Jerusalem was established, from 1925-1948, during the period of the British Mandate in Palestine. It finds that the World Zionist Organization was deeply involved in this project, viewing a university as an important building block in the creation of a Jewish nationality in the Land of Israel. But alongside this Zionist role, Jewish communities around the world, particularly in Europe and the United States, also played an important academic and financial role in the establishment of the Hebrew Uni - versity. This study reveals that, in contrast to the common pattern of close cooperation that is characteristic of relations between academic institutions and cohering national elites, the Hebrew University consistently pursued an academic policy that generated acute tension vis-à-vis the political leadership in Jewish Palestine. The University deliberately nurtured an elitist policy while rejecting attempts to make it service the general public needs, as defined by the local polit - ical leadership. Rather, the University saw its central role as being a “university for the dispersed nation,” that is, a university for all of the Jewish people. RÉSUMÉ Cet article examine le processus au cours duquel l’Université hébraïque de Jérusalem fut établie de 1925 à 1948, alors que la Palestine était sous mandat britannique.

Glenn rom the very beginning of his literary career in the 1950s, novel- ist Philip Roth faced charges of antisemitism, Jewish “self- F hatred,” and willful “betrayal” of the Jewish people. In 1959, when The New Yorker magazine published his short story “Defender of the Faith”—about a Jewish army recruit who uses his religion to gain special privileges from his Jewish sergeant—Roth was accused of being a “self-hating Jew” whose writings caused “irreparable damage to the Jewish people,” as much “harm,” charged one irate reader, “as all the or- ganized anti-Semitic organizations.”1 Roth was not the first or the only writer in America to be labeled a self-hating Jew. A decade earlier, Isaac Rosenfeld had faced similar ac- cusations after the publication of his essay “Adam and Eve on Delancey Street” (a meditation on the relationship between Jewish sexual and culinary taboos) in the American Jewish Committee–sponsored maga- zine Commentary. Denouncing Rosenfeld’s essay as filthy and degrad- ing to Jews, Zionist activist Carl Alpert compared its effects to “the best efforts of [Nazi propagandists] Streicher and Goebbels.”2 In 1957, lit- erary critic Sol Liptzin would use virtually identical language when he pointed to “the vogue of Jewish self-hatred” in American Jewish litera- ture.
