CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS The Twenty-seventh Zionist Congress was held in the National Conven- tion Centre ("Binyanei Ha'ooma") in Jerusalem on June 9—19, 1968. On the day Congress opened all participants, including the President of the World Zionist Organization and the Chairman of the Zionist General Council, made the pilgrimage to the Western Wall, where they took part in the Minha prayer. Chief Rabbi I. Y. Unterman also attended. From the Wall the delegates made their way to Mount Herzl to lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Seer of the Jewish State. The El Maleh Rahamim prayer was recited in Herzl's memory. The festive inauguration session of Congress took place on Sunday, June 9, at 8.30 in the evening. Delegates, visitors and guests who filled the hall numbered over three thousand. Among those present were the Prime Minister, the President of the World Zionist Organization, the Speaker of the Knesset, the President of the Supreme Court, the Chief Rabbi, the Chairman of the Zionist Executive, the Chairman of the Zionist General Council, the Chairman of the Zionist Executive in New York, and the Mayor of Jerusalem. Immediately prior to the commence- ment of the proceedings a fanfare of trumpets heralded the arrival of the President of the State of Israel, Mr. Zalman Shazar, and the na- tional anthem, Hatikva, was sung. The theme of the first part of the opening session was the seventieth anniversary of the First Zionist Congress and the twentieth anniversary of the State of Israel. A pageant "The Standard and the Flag" was staged and Yizkor was recited by Yehoshua Bertonov, doyen of Israel actors. Accompanied by music and song, with suitable explanatory re- marks by Moshe Hovav, standard bearers—carrying the flags of Herzl and of the First Zionist Congress, of Gedera and Hashomer, of the Jewish Legions and Hechalutz, of the Ghettos and of the Jewish Bri- gade, of Maapilim and Fighters, banners of villages which had bravely faced the attacks of their neighbours, flags of different communities, of Youth Aliya, of Nahal Oz and Zur Nathan, flags of the three wars the State of Israel has been compelled to fight, and the flag of the Old City—marched onto the stage. After the conclusion of the pageant, the President of the State and the President of the World Zionist Organization took their places on the stage. Dr. Goldmann welcomed the diplomats and other foreign 5 representatives present. The President, Mr. Zalman Shazar, then addressed Congress, and he was followed by Dr. Nahum Goldmann.

    NCSEJ WEEKLY TOP 10 Washington, D.C. June 29, 2018 Poland’s Holocaust Law Weakened After ‘Storm and Consternation’ By Marc Santora New York Times, June 27, 2018 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/27/world/europe/poland-holocaust-law.html WARSAW — Just a few months after making it illegal to accuse the Polish nation of complicity in the Holocaust, Poland backpedaled on Wednesday, moving to defang the controversial law by eliminating criminal penalties for violators. The United States and other traditional allies had excoriated the Polish government over the law, passed in February, condemning it as largely unenforceable, a threat to free speech, and an act of historical revisionism. Although both ethnic Poles and Jews living in Poland suffered unfathomable loss during World War II, the law drove a wedge between Israel and Poland, setting back years of hard work to repair bitter feelings. Both houses of Parliament voted on Wednesday to remove the criminal penalties, after an emotional session that saw one nationalist lawmaker try to block access to the podium. President Andrzej Duda later signed the measure into law, his office said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel welcomed the move, saying in a statement that he was pleased Poland rescinded provisions that “caused a storm and consternation in Israel and among the international community.” By amending the statute, Poland’s governing Law and Justice party hoped to repair some of the diplomatic damage it had caused, even as it pressed ahead with sweeping judicial overhauls that have been condemned by European Union leaders as a threat to the rule of law.

Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. 5 Abram took his wife Sarai and his brother's son Lot, and all the wealth that they had amassed, and the persons that they had acquired in Haran; and they set out for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in the land of Canaan, 6 Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, at the terebinth of Moreh. The Canaanites were then in the land. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, "I will assign this land to your heirs." And he built an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him.

    Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ayala Levin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin This dissertation explores Israeli architectural and construction aid in the 1960s – “the African decade” – when the majority of sub-Saharan African states gained independence from colonial rule. In the Cold War competition over development, Israel distinguished its aid by alleging a postcolonial status, similar geography, and a shared history of racial oppression to alleviate fears of neocolonial infiltration. I critically examine how Israel presented itself as a model for rapid development more applicable to African states than the West, and how the architects negotiated their professional practice in relation to the Israeli Foreign Ministry agendas, the African commissioners' expectations, and the international disciplinary discourse on modern architecture. I argue that while architectural modernism was promoted in the West as the International Style, Israeli architects translated it to the African context by imbuing it with nation-building qualities such as national cohesion, labor mobilization, skill acquisition and population dispersal. Based on their labor-Zionism settler-colonial experience,

THE SOUTH HEBRON HILLS SOLDIERS TESTIMONIES 2010-2016 ISRAELI SOLDIERS TALK ABOUT THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES Introduction The South Hebron Hills is the southernmost part of the West Bank and includes the Palestinian towns of Yatta, Dura, Dhahiriyah, and the surrounding rural areas. The region includes approximately 122 Palestinian communities which together house close to 70,000 people, as well as roughly 8,500 settlers who live in settlements and unauthorized outposts affiliated with the Mount Hebron Regional Council.* The Palestinian population of the South Hebron Hills is primarily composed of Bedouin, as well as fellahin (farmers or agricultural laborers) cave dwellers, who lead a rural traditional lifestyle, earning their living primarily from agricultural work and sheep herding. Some are refugees who arrived in the West Bank after being expelled from Israel in 1948 and the years that followed, while others are descendants of families who have been living in the area for hundreds of years.
