Thereafter, from the first issue of I98I (volume 23, no.

The objects of the Journal remain as stated in the Editorial of the first issue in I959' 'This Journal has been brought into being in order to provide an international vehicle for serious writing on Jewish social affairs ... Academically we address ourselves not only to sociologists, but to social scientists in general, to historians, to philosophers, and to students of comparative religion .... We should like to stress both that the Journal is editorially independent and that the opinions expressed by authors are their own responsibility.' The founding Editor of the JJS was Morris Ginsberg, and the founding Managing Editor was Maurice Freedman.

Porous Empire: Foreign Visitors And The Post-Stalin Soviet State Abstract “Porous Empire” is a study of the relationship between Soviet institutions, Soviet society and the millions of foreigners who visited the USSR between the mid-1950s and the mid-1980s. “Porous Empire” traces how Soviet economic, propaganda, and state security institutions, all shaped during the isolationist Stalin period, struggled to accommodate their practices to millions of visitors with material expectations and assumed legal rights radically unlike those of Soviet citizens. While much recent Soviet historiography focuses on the ways in which the post-Stalin opening to the outside world led to the erosion of official Soviet ideology, I argue that ideological attitudes inherited from the Stalin era structured institutional responses to a growing foreign presence in Soviet life. Therefore, while Soviet institutions had to accommodate their economic practices to the growing numbers of tourists and other visitors inside the Soviet borders and were forced to concede the existence of contact zones between foreigners and Soviet citizens that loosened some of the absolute sovereignty claims of the Soviet party-statem, they remained loyal to visions of Soviet economic independence, committed to fighting the cultural Cold War, and profoundly suspicious of the outside world.

In 1967, after the Six-Day War, a spiritual awakening spread across many young Jews in Russia and the Soviet Union. Both a spike in anti-Semitism on the one hand and a spike in Jewish pride over Israel’s victory on the other hand caused a mighty Jewish awakening. The result was a spike in young Jews all across the Soviet Union getting together to learn the language of Hebrew and otherwise to discover their Jewishness. Now one of them at the time was a young man in Riga, Latvia named Yosef Mendelevitch. He had grown up in an assimilated Jewish home. Well, one fine day, he heard his friends in class announce that they would not be coming to class tomorrow because they’d be celebrating the New Year. Now, Yosef Mendelevitch had never heard of a New Year in September. So they told him that it was a new year—Rosh Hashanah for the Jews. So Yosef Mendelevitch found himself joining his friends in attending the only synagogue in Riga. They stood together outside will all the other young men and women, and it was an exciting scene. Yosef Mendelevitch especially loved the way his fellow Jews were marking the New Year, and so he asked when the next Jewish holiday would be occurring. So they told him that the next holiday, Yom Kippur, was coming up in another seven days.
