  • Zionism: Between Secular Ideology and Religious Redemption
    1 University of Toronto Department of Political Science POL 381 H1 (S) Topics in Political Theory: Zionism: Between Secular Ideology and Religious Redemption Merom Kalie Monday 6:00-8:00 Room SS 1085 Office hours: Monday, 2-4pm, room SS 3118 E-mail address: [email protected] Teacher Assistant: Jamie Levin Email address: [email protected] Course description: The course will examine different perspectives on the relationships between Zionism - the Jewish national movement - and the Jewish religion. It will discuss a range of views, from those who perceive Zionism to be a secular movement that defied tradition and religion, to those who perceive Zionism in religious and Messianic terms. During the first half of the course, we will discuss the evolution of the subject from the origins of the Zionist movement to the establishment of the state of Israel and the Six Days War. In the second half of the course, we will discuss current views about the subject and its implications for contemporary Israeli society and the Israeli-Arab conflict. Course requirements: 1. One short paper, in which you will be asked to analyze a primary source, should be submitted online by February 28, 2011 (maximum 1250 words, 20% of the final mark). 2. One research paper, due on March 21, 2011 (maximum 3000 words, 40% of the final mark). A list of suggested topics together with detailed instructions will be posted. You are welcome to write your research paper about a topic that is not on the list, with the Instructor’s advance approval. 3. A final exam, at a date to be determined by the Faculty of Arts and Science (40% of the final mark).

  • When Mizrahi Artists Said ‘No’ to Israel’S Pioneer Culture
    Riches To Rags To Virtual Riches: When Mizrahi Artists Said ‘No’ To Israel’s Pioneer Culture Shoshana Gabay. Ills. Joseph Sassoon Semah Upon their arrival in Israel, Mizrahi Jews found themselves under a regime that demanded obedience, even in cultural matters. All were required to conform to an idealized pioneer figure who sang classical, militaristic ‘Hebrew’ songs. That is, before the ‘Kasetot’ era propelled Mizrahi artists into the spotlight, paving the way for today’s musical stars. Part two of a musical journey beginning in Israel’s Mizrahi neighborhoods of the 1950s and leading up to Palestinian singer Mohammed Assaf. Read part one here. Our early encounter with Zionist music takes place in kindergarten, then later in schools and the youth movements, usually with an accordionist in tow playing songs worn and weathered by the dry desert winds. Music teachers at school never bothered with classical music, neither Western nor Arabian, and traditional Ashkenazi liturgies – let alone Sephardic – were not even taken into account. The early pioneer music was hard to stomach, and not only because it didn’t belong to our generation and wasn’t part of our heritage. More specifically, we were gagging on something shoved obsessively down our throat by political authority. Our “founding fathers” and their children never spared us any candid detail regarding the bodily reaction they experience when hearing the music brought here by our fathers, and the music we created here. But not much was said regarding the thoughts and feelings of Mizrahi immigrants (nor about their children who were born into it) who came here and heard what passed as Israeli music, nor about their children who were born into it.

  • The Messiah Isn't Coming – Mashiach Lo Ba – אב אל חישמ
    משיח לא בא – The Messiah Isn’t Coming – Mashiach Lo Ba Compiled by David Bryfman and Jessica Fechtor for the 2007 Wexner Graduate Fellowship Summer Institute The texts that follow are organized according to the following themes: I. An introduction to the relationship between Zionism and messianism (p. 2) II. From Messianism to Zionism: Religious Zionism (pp. 3‐4) III. Human Agency and Political Zionism (p. 5) IV. From Messianism to the Socialist Utopian Dream (p. 6) V. “Messianism” in the Labor Zionist Movement (p. 7) VI. Human Agency and the Zionist Dream (p. 8) VII. “Messianism” in Music (pp. 9‐11) VIII. Closing Questions (p. 12) Because of time constraints, it will probably not be possible for you and your chevrutah to cover all of the material on messianism and Zionism. Begin with the introduction (section I), and then choose one or more of the sub-topics that interest you (sections II – VII). Please conclude with the general closing questions (section VIII), which we hope you will find relevant to each of the sub-topics. Save the rest for exploration on your own. 2 משיח לא בא – The Messiah Isn’t Coming – Mashiach Lo Ba I. Introduction What is the relationship between Zionism and messianism? Traditional beliefs about the coming of the Messiah seem incompatible with Zionist ideology. The verse, “‘I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, that ye awaken not, nor stir up love, until it please’ (Song of Songs 3:5) has been interpreted as a ban on Jews to ascend the walls, that is, to bring about the return to Zion prior to the coming of the Messiah.”1 And yet, messianism is a constant trope throughout the intellectual history of Zionism.

Box 8435, Jerusalem 91083 Tel: 077– 4020771 Email: [email protected] www.metzilah.org.il The Metzilah Center was founded in 2005 to address the growing tendency among Israelis and Jews worldwide to question the legitimacy of Jewish nationalism and its compatibility with universal values. We believe that Zionism and a liberal worldview can and must coexist; that public discourse, research and education hold the key to the integration of Zionism, Jewish values and human rights in the Jewish state; and that the integration of these values is critical for the lasting welfare of Israel and the Jewish people worldwide. Metzilah aims at disseminating knowledge, deepening the understanding and awakening the public discourse in the areas that we deem are the core issues facing the citizens of Israel and the Jewish people worldwide. These key issues include: the Jewish people’s right to national self-determination in (part of) the Land of Israel; contemporary Jewish identities; the complex nature of Israeli society; and the preservation of human rights for all Israeli citizens and residents.

  • CORE UA 537 Spring 2014 CULTURES and CONTEXTS
    CORE UA 537 Spring 2014 CULTURES AND CONTEXTS: MODERN ISRAEL Prof. David Engel This course will explore the cultural values and expressions through which residents of the modern State of Israel, established in 1948, have tried to come to grips with the manifold challenges their country has faced since its inception. The term “culture” in the course is taken to designate the set of ideas, practices, and objects through which human beings adapt to their physical and social environment. The founders of the State of Israel envisioned that the country would initiate extensive changes in the way its citizens interacted with their environment: they anticipated major modifications in their economic and political behavior, their family life, their attitudes toward their bodies, their relations with their neighbors, their religious outlook, and their view of their place in the world. They expected further that these changes would find concrete expression in literature, art, music, architecture, and intellectual life, all of which would promote their vision of how the State's population should behave. However, for all that they looked forward to cultural change, Israel's founders did not imagine that the environment to which the new culture was supposed to help Israel's citizens adapt would itself change profoundly. In the sixty-five years of its existence Israel has had to confront many challenges, brought about, among other things, by rapid mass immigration, periodic wars, shifting geopolitical alignments, transformation of the global economy, and sweeping technological innovations. The course will analyze these farreaching changes in the context in which the new Israeli culture has functioned and investigate how that culture has responded to them.

    Samuel Neaman Eretz Israel from Inside and Out Samuel Neaman Reflections In this book, the author Samuel (Sam) Neaman illustrates a part of his life story that lasted over more that three decades during the 20th century - in Eretz Israel, France, Syria, in WWII battlefronts, in Great Britain,the U.S., Canada, Mexico and in South American states. This is a life story told by the person himself and is being read with bated breath, sometimes hard to believe but nevertheless utterly true. Neaman was born in 1913, but most of his life he spent outside the country and the state he was born in ERETZ and for which he fought and which he served faithfully for many years. Therefore, his point of view is from both outside and inside and apart from • the love he expresses towards the country, he also criticizes what is going ERETZ ISRAELFROMINSIDEANDOUT here. In Israel the author is well known for the reknowned Samuel Neaman ISRAEL Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology which is located at the Technion in Haifa. This institute was established by Neaman and he was directly and personally involved in all its management until he passed away a few years ago. Samuel Neaman did much for Israel’s security and FROM as a token of appreciation, all IDF’s chiefs of staff have signed a a megila. Among the signers of the megila there were: Ig’al Yadin, Mordechai Mak- lef, Moshe Dayan, Haim Laskov, Zvi Zur, Izhak Rabin, Haim Bar-Lev, David INSIDE El’arar, and Mordechai Gur.

  • The National Left (First Draft) by Shmuel Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv
    The National Left (First Draft) by Shmu'el Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv Open Source Center OSC Summary: A self-published book by Israeli playwright Shmu'el Hasfari and political activist Eldad Yaniv entitled "The National Left (First Draft)" bemoans the death of Israel's political left. http://www.fas.org/irp/dni/osc/israel-left.pdf Statement by the Authors The contents of this publication are the responsibility of the authors, who also personally bore the modest printing costs. Any part of the material in this book may be photocopied and recorded. It is recommended that it should be kept in a data-storage system, transmitted, or recorded in any form or by any electronic, optical, mechanical means, or otherwise. Any form of commercial use of the material in this book is permitted without the explicit written permission of the authors. 1. The Left The Left died the day the Six-Day War ended. With the dawn of the Israeli empire, the Left's sun sank and the Small [pun on Smol, the Hebrew word for Left] was born. The Small is a mark of Cain, a disparaging term for a collaborator, a lover of Arabs, a hater of Israel, a Jew who turns against his own people, not a patriot. The Small-ists eat pork on Yom Kippur, gobble shrimps during the week, drink espresso whenever possible, and are homos, kapos, artsy-fartsy snobs, and what not. Until 1967, the Left actually managed some impressive deeds -- it took control of the land, ploughed, sowed, harvested, founded the state, built the army, built its industry from scratch, fought Arabs, settled the land, built the nuclear reactor, brought millions of Jews here and absorbed them, and set up kibbutzim, moshavim, and agriculture.
