Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

    Jnf Blueprint Negev: 2009 Campaign Update

    JNF BLUEPRINT NEGEV: 2009 CAMPAIGN UPDATE In the few years since its launch, great strides have been made in JNF’s Blueprint Negev campaign, an initiative to develop the Negev Desert in a sustainable manner and make it home to the next generation of Israel’s residents. In Be’er Sheva: More than $30 million has already been invested in a city that dates back to the time of Abraham. For years Be’er Sheva was an economically depressed and forgotten city. Enough of a difference has been made to date that private developers have taken notice and begun to invest their own money. New apartment buildings have risen, with terraces facing the riverbed that in the past would have looked away. A slew of single family homes have sprung up, and more are planned. Attracted by the River Walk, the biggest mall in Israel and the first “green” one in the country is Be’er Sheva River Park being built by The Lahav Group, a private enterprise, and will contribute to the city’s communal life and all segments of the population. The old Turkish city is undergoing a renaissance, with gaslights flanking the refurbished cobblestone streets and new restaurants, galleries and stores opening. This year, the municipality of Be’er Sheva is investing millions of dollars to renovate the Old City streets and support weekly cultural events and activities. And the Israeli government just announced nearly $40 million to the River Park over the next seven years. Serious headway has been made on the 1,700-acre Be’er Sheva River Park, a central park and waterfront district that is already transforming the city.
  • 35 Ahmadiyya

    35 Ahmadiyya

    Malaysian Journal of International Relations, Volume 6, 2018, 35-46 ISSN 2289-5043 (Print); ISSN 2600-8181 (Online) AHMADIYYA: GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF A PERSECUTED COMMUNITY Abdul Rashid Moten ABSTRACT Ahmadiyya, a group, founded in 19th century India, has suffered fierce persecution in various parts of the Muslim world where governments have declared them to be non-Muslims. Despite opposition from mainstream Muslims, the movement continued its proselytising efforts and currently boasts millions of followers worldwide. Based on the documentary sources and other scholarly writings, this paper judges the claims made by the movement's founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, analyses the consequences of the claims, and examines their proselytizing strategies. This paper found that the claims made by Mirza were not in accordance with the belief of mainstream Muslims, which led to their persecution. The reasons for their success in recruiting millions of members worldwide is to be found in their philanthropic activities, avoidance of violence and pursuit of peace inherent in their doctrine of jihad, exerting in the way of God, not by the sword but by the pen. Keywords: Ahmadiyya, jihad, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Pakistan, philanthropy INTRODUCTION The Qur’an categorically mentions that Muhammad is the last in the line of the Prophets and that no prophet will follow him. Yet, there arose several individuals who claimed prophethood in Islam. Among the first to claim Prophecy was Musailama al-Kazzab, followed by many others including Mirza Hussein Ali Nuri who took the name Bahaullah (glory of God) and formed a new religion, the Bahai faith. Many false prophets continued to raise their heads occasionally but failed to make much impact until the ascendance of the non-Muslim intellectual, economic and political forces particularly in the 19th century A.D.
  • Natan Rapoport's Soviet Style of the Yad Mordechai and Negba Memorials

    Natan Rapoport's Soviet Style of the Yad Mordechai and Negba Memorials

    Chapter 14 Natan Rapoport’s Soviet Style of the Yad Mordechai and Negba Memorials 14.1 Ghetto Heroism and Israeli Valor The very same year of the Herzl gravesite competition, art critic Eugen Kolb met Russian-Jewish sculptor Natan Rapoport (mentioned in chapter 8) in Tel- Aviv. The meeting resulted in an article in which he shared basic, primary ideas about the nature of future Israeli memorials: At a time that many among us begin to design memorials for our War of Independence … Kibbutz Yad Mordechai did well in taking upon itself the initiative to entrust Natan Rapoport with the mission of erect- ing the suitable memorial for the Kibbutz Fallen and to the hero of the Warsaw Ghetto, whose name was adopted by that kibbutz—Mordechai Anilewizc.1 Connecting the Warsaw Ghetto fighters with those of Israel’s Independence War was a popular contemporary Zionist concept. Idit Zartal explains it as wishing to integrate the Ghetto uprisings into the narrative of Israel’s Independence War, one link in a chain of battles for the Land of Israel. It would show that the Diaspora Jews participated in the fight for a Jewish State and that the Zionist struggle for the Jewish state meant life or death. It associated the destiny of European Jewry with the right for the establishment of a Jewish state after World War II.2 Kolb’s great admiration for Natan Rapoport is quite understandable in this context; The Russian sculptor arrived in Israel a few days after the unveiling of his memorial to the Warsaw ghetto uprising in Warsaw (April 19, 1949).

    ABOUT YOAV Established in 1952 and Located South of Jerusalem And

    ABOUT YOAV Established in 1952 and located south of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, east of Ashqelon and north of Beersheva, it is named after the late Yitzhak Dubno (nicknamed Yoav), the first commander of Kibbutz Negba in the independence war of 1948. Yoav is centrally located. The regional council is comprised of 14 communities (8 kibbutzim, 3 moshavim, a youth village, an Arab Village and a new country center) with a combined population of approximately 5,200 people. The region covers approximately 57,500 acres. Each kibbutz and moshav has its own unique history and identity. The residents of Yoav come from all over the world (In one kibbutz alone, they have counted 29 different nationalities!), resulting in a very dynamic and vibrant community that blends and harmonizes the multi ethnic backgrounds. The Region has an extensive recreational appeal, with hot springs, caves, and archaeological sites. In addition to recreation and tourism, their industry base includes agriculture and manufacturing. They are part of the Kiryat Gat industrial zone, where there is an Air Products plant that supports the needs of the Intel Factory. Militarily, the region has a border patrol army base that protects their vulnerable perimeter along the West Bank. ECONOMY Agriculture: 25% Industry: 24% Tourism: 8% Services and Education: 43% The main occupation in Yoav is agriculture: field crops, orchards, dairy, chickens, hot‐houses for growing flowers and winter vegetables. The region supports these agricultural efforts with various industries that are involved in research, processing, packing and distribution. AGRICULTURE AND RELATED INDUSTRY AND RESOURCES: Agrinir is involved in the entire olive oil production process ‐‐ from growing and pressing the olives, to bottling and marketing.

    “Made New in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-14; John 1:10-18

    A communion meditation delivered by the Rev. Timothy C. Ahrens, senior minister at the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, Columbus, Ohio, January 2, 2011, Christmas 2, dedicated to all the women, men and children of Egypt, especially the 21 murdered and the 97 injured early January 1 outside the Al-Qiddissine (The Saints) Church, to all the children of Abraham who live with God‟s grace, truth and light, and always to the glory of God! “Made New in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-14; John 1:10-18 Yesterday, the year opened in Alexandria, Egypt, with a suicide bomber attacking Christians leaving a midnight mass. Twenty-one people were blown apart and 97 sustained injuries. Those killed and those injured with mostly Christians. But Muslims, out celebrating New Year’s in this mostly Muslim neighborhood, were also killed. I saw the Church of All Saints several months ago while traveling with my friend Mohammed. We didn’t enter it. I spoke with him yesterday. He asked for prayers for all of Egypt. In an email from my friend Helbees Zahar in Cairo received early this morning, Helbees writes: Dear Tim, Thank you so much for your nice heart. My family are safe and I am well, don't worry. All this was heart breaking to everybody not only the ones who had lost family members or friends. Please keep praying for all Egyptians, not only Christians. Love, Helbees ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ May the words of my mouth and the meditations of each one of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O God, our strength and our salvation.
