  • In the Footsteps of Jesus from His Galilean Springtime to His
    In the footsteps of Jesus From His Galilean Springtime To His Jerusalem passion and resurrection Thursday 15th February – Wednesday 28th February 2018 The 2018 Holy Land in a Week pilgrimage was a long time in the planning. I endeavoured to make it affordable for the maximum number of people. Travelling to Israel, accommodation, guiding and food in the Holy Land has become very expensive. Israel doesn’t have many friends in the region. Security and importing food and materials must be a heavy drain on the economy. In order to reduce the price we moved the trip from March to February to avail of preferential hotel and air prices and built in a number of unguided days with no buses. February resulted in lovely walking conditions, though I was surprised at how many pilgrims were in the holy places so early in the season. There was also a higher risk of rain. I planned to travel six days earlier with a smaller group of walkers. The original plan was to spend a morning in Joppa before hopping on an Egged (public) bus to Nazareth and self-guiding using the Jesus trail book. As it happened 21 people signed up for this and I took cold feet on self-guiding. This was one of a number of Divine interventions. We were delighted when Michael Even-Esh agreed to guide us. We asked for a price on transfers from the airport to the Hotel, from Tel Aviv to Nazareth, back from Kfar Cana and to Cana the following morning, from Capernaum to Tiberias and luggage transfers.

  • Where Community Happens. the Kibbutz and the Philosophy Of
    WHERE COMMUNITY HAPPENS WHERE COMMUNITY HAPPENS In reaction to the spread of globalization, recent years have seen considerable growth in the number of intentional communities established across the world. In this collection of articles and lectures, many of them previously unpublished in English, the author analyzes various aspects of the philosophy of the kibbutz W THE KIBBUTZ AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF COMMUNALISM and draws parallels with other societies and philosophical trends, in the hope that a close look at the ways of thought of the kibbutz – arguably the best- HERE established communalist society – may help other communalists crystallize their own social philosophies. Utopian thought and communal experience are brought to life through the extensive use of the voices of some of the most influential thinkers and kibbutz members of the past hundred years, including CO Martin Buber and David Ben Gurion. “Henry Near has spent a lifetime studying utopianism and intentional MMUNIT communities, with a special focus on the kibbutzim of Israel, of which he is the leading historian. This book brings together his thoughtful reflections on the kibbutzim and related topics. It will long be a benchmark in its field.” Tim Miller, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Kansas “As a distinguished scholar and long-time kibbutznik, communal historian and Y H philosopher Henry Near offers that all too rare combination of passion and balance, vision and realism. This timely book is an invaluable case study of the kibbutz in a broader, comparative perspective including Christian monasteries, APPENS Hutterite colonies, and New Age communes. It offers a goldmine of new evidence and mature wisdom, of value to historians, social scientists, humanists, and partisans of gender equality, youth empowerment, and cooperative alternatives for the twenty-first century.

  • Judaism and Collective Life: Self and Community in the Religious Kibbutz
    Judaism and Collective Life Through his examination of the relationship between Judaism as a religious culture and kibbutz life, Aryei Fishman presents a groundbreaking work in the research of Judaism. The book takes as its point of departure the historical fact that it was Orthodox pioneers of German origin, in contrast to their Eastern European counterparts, who successfully developed religious kibbutz life. Employing sociological concepts and methods, the author examines the correlations between two evolutionary phases in kibbutz development and two modes of Judaism: the rational Halakhic and the emotive Hasidic modes. In doing this he explores the relationship between these two modes’ diverse disposi- tions towards the divinity – the transcendent and the immanent – and two diverse manners of the self and their related communities, as well as the functional value of these diverse selves and communities for the larger social system. A unifying theoretical framework for this study is provided by Joseph B. Soloveitchik’s typology of the two Adams of Creation. But the work also draws on the sociological theories of Max Weber, Durkheim, Simmel, Parsons and Peter Berger. This innovative and insightful work will be of essential interest to schol- ars of the sociology of religion, Jewish studies and modern Jewish history, and will also interest those more broadly engaged with theology and reli- gious studies. Professor Aryei Fishman was a member of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, until his retirement. His special interests in the sociologies of religion and communal societies converged in his in-depth study of the religious kibbutz.
