  • Archaeology and Religion in Late Bronze Age Canaan
    religions Article Archaeology and Religion in Late Bronze Age Canaan Aaron Greener W.F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, Salah e-Din St 26, 91190 Jerusalem, Israel; [email protected] Received: 28 February 2019; Accepted: 2 April 2019; Published: 9 April 2019 Abstract: Dozens of temples were excavated in the Canaanite city-states of the Late Bronze Age. These temples were the focal points for the Canaanites’ cultic activities, mainly sacrifices and ceremonial feasting. Numerous poetic and ritual texts from the contemporary city of Ugarit reveal the rich pantheon of Canaanite gods and goddesses which were worshiped by the Canaanites. Archaeological remains of these rites include burnt animal bones and many other cultic items, such as figurines and votive vessels, which were discovered within the temples and sanctuaries. These demonstrate the diverse and receptive character of the Canaanite religion and ritual practices. It seems that the increased Egyptian presence in Canaan towards the end of the period had an influence on the local belief system and rituals in some areas, a fact which is demonstrated by the syncretic architectural plans of several of the temples, as well as by glyptic and votive items. Late Bronze Age religious and cultic practices have attracted much attention from Biblical scholars and researchers of the religion of Ancient Israel who are searching for the similarities and influences between the Late Bronze Age and the following Iron Age. Keywords: Late Bronze Age; Canaan; religion; cult; temples; Egypt 1. Introduction Numerous excavations and a fairly large number of contemporary written documents give us a good picture of the religious system and cult practices in Canaan1 during the Late Bronze Age (ca.

  • Iranian Oil Award Survives Israeli Challenge
    Iranian oil award survives Israeli challenge Sebastian Perry • Wednesday, 27 July 2016 (12 hours ago) An Israeli state-owned entity has lost its challenge against a US$1.12 billion award that compensates Iran’s national oil company for crude oil deliveries made just before the Iranian revolution of 1979. The Israeli port of Eilat on the Red Sea (Credit: tzahiV/istockphoto) In a judgment dated 27 June, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne rejected a challenge by Israeli-owned Trans-Asiatic Oil to an award in favour of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) and its Liechtenstein subsidiary Fimarco. An ad hoc arbitral tribunal seated in Zurich issued the award in May 2015 after a 26-year arbitration over withheld payments for oil delivered to Israel in the last days of the reign of the Shah of Iran, who was toppled in the Islamic revolution that led to the severing of diplomatic and commercial ties between the two states. Remarkably, the politically sensitive arbitration between two Middle Eastern adversaries took place largely out of the public eye, though some details had already emerged before Iranian state media announced the award last year. The Swiss court’s judgment redacts the names of the companies but not of the two governments. The dispute has also been marked by tragedy. The judgment reveals that the original chair of the tribunal died in November 2012. The timing makes it highly probable that he was Daniel Wehrli, a vice president of the Swiss Arbitration Association whose death aged 62 was reported by GAR.

  • The Coral Reefs of Eilat – Past, Present and Future: Three Decades of Coral Community Structure Studies
    The Coral Reefs of Eilat – 1 Past, Present and Future: Three Decades of Coral Community Structure Studies Yossi Loya 1.1 Introduction Here, I shall present a brief review of ca. 35 years of our studies on changes in the coral species diversity and community structure at Eilat, Red Sea, at several scales in space and time. In the following, I shall: (1) summarize the geograph- ical setting and the geological,physical and biological characteristics of the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba, then point out the uniqueness of the coral reefs of Eilat, which are situated at the most northerly boundary of coral reef distribution,yet exhibit extraordinarily high within-habitat coral species diversity; (2) present the changes that took place in coral species diversity and community structure on the reef flats in the northern Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat (during the 1969–1980), due to natural disturbances (extreme midday low tides) and man-made perturbations (chronic oil spills); (3) discuss possible mechanisms that generate and maintain the high within-habitat coral diversity typifying pristine reefs in the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba;(4)discusstheoppositemechanismsthatcausedadramaticde- crease in coral abundance and living cover at the Eilat Coral Nature Reserve (ECNR) during 1986–2000.I will also point out two major anthropogenic distur- bances: first, eutrophication caused by Eilat’s sewage discharge to the sea until 1995; and second, further eutrophication originating from intensive net pen mariculture off the northern coast of Eilat,which exponentially expanded activ- ity from 1994–1995 to present times.The grave implications for the coral reefs of Eilat caused by this chronic eutrophication will be presented.

  • July 2015 - Reflections from the CEO by Linda Kislowicz
    Chair Julia Berger Reitman President & CEO Linda Kislowicz July 2015 - Reflections from the CEO By Linda Kislowicz I have just returned from a very intense month in Israel. A week of Keren Hayesod and Jewish Agency meetings was followed by a complete tour of the Canadian partnership regions - Eilat/Eilot, Bat Yam/Kiryat Moshe, Sderot, Beer Sheva/B’nei Shimon and the five northern communities in Etzba Hagalil - where I held strategic meetings with Israeli colleagues and partners. My tour ended with some personal family time. What follows are my thoughts and impressions following this inspiring journey. Highlights of the Keren Hayesod-UIA and Jewish Agency Meetings The annual Keren Hayesod – UIA conference took place in the beautiful winery region of the Judean Hills. The itinerary included a visit to a naval base in Ashdod, a briefing by Ambassador Ron Prosor, Israel's 16th Permanent Representative to the United Nations and several award presentations including the Israel Goldstein Prize for Distinguished Leadership to Ambassador Avi Pazner, the Yakir Award presentations and the Avi-Hai Award for Exemplary Young Leadership to Jason Rubinoff from Toronto and Fabiënne Meijers from Amsterdam. Kesher – the Julia Koschitzky Seminar for Keren Hayesod Young Leadership, which included 4 Canadian participants, coincided with the annual KH conference. Key agenda items focused on engaging younger leaders, strengthening and rejuvenating campaigns around the world and exploring new funding models relevant to the younger generation of donors.
