Israel at 70
Israel at 70 Israel as a Double Gift Dr. Ari Berman, President, Yeshiva University Our generation is blessed to witness the 70th birthday of the modern State of Israel. While the State of Israel is of profound importance to Jews everywhere, it holds unique resonance for us as religious Zionists, for it potentially signals the coming of a long-hoped-for redemption. Consequently, as we reflect upon the seven decades since Israel’s birth, it is useful to clarify the way in which a modern nation-state like Israel can herald redemption. Of the many foundational ideas that Biblical Israel has contributed to the history of civilization, perhaps the most ambitious is the concept of a collective redemption—the notion that not only should individuals strive for their ultimate betterment, but that society can and must move history forward together. Reflections on this theme are most concentrated in the Bible’s prophetic literature. Broadly speaking, one finds therein two contrasting models for what redemption entails, the first represented in the book of Ezekiel, the second in the book of Isaiah. Ezekiel, in chapter 37, envisions redemption as a project fundamentally benefitting the Jewish people. Although dispersed throughout the world, and oppressed throughout history, this paradigmatic minority will one day be revived. The climax of Ezekiel’s best known eschatological prophecy—his vision of the valley of the dry bones—is God’s promise to His people: “I will bring you back to the land of Israel” (37:12). For Ezekiel, the goal of the redemptive process is internally oriented. Isaiah, by contrast, consistently articulates a redemptive vision that encompasses all of humanity. -

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. -
Hardy Cyclamen. Thomas Hood Wrote a Poem Which Neatly Sums up How Most of Us Feel About This Time of the Year
Hardy Cyclamen. Thomas Hood wrote a poem which neatly sums up how most of us feel about this time of the year. It starts: ‘No sun - no moon! No morn -no noon! No dawn- no dusk! No proper time of day!’ The poem finishes: ‘No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, November!’ Of course we have fruits and flowers at the moment and leaves too, they are hanging on late this year, but the glorious fire of Autumn leaves collapses into a soggy mush this month and many of the flowers that are left are the brave and pathetic last ditch attempts of summer flowering plants. Cyclamen hederifolium though, is still looking good after making its first appearance as early as August. This plant used to be called Cyclamen neapolitanum but is no longer known by that name. It is a little gem with ivy shaped leaves, hence the name ‘hederifolium’ which means ivy-leafed. The heart-shaped leaves differ enormously in shape and size; most of them are exquisitely marbled in grey or silver. Sometimes the leaves appear before the flowers, sometimes the flowers appear first, and sometimes they come together. The flowers have five reflex petals and they come in varying shades of pink with a deep v-shaped magenta blotch at the base. There is enormous variation in the shape and size of the flowers. Some of mine are as big as the florist’s cyclamen, Cyclamen persicum which of course is not hardy. The lovely white form is equally desirable. -

Response to Deep TMS in Depressive Patients with Previous Electroconvulsive Treatment
Brain Stimulation (2010) 3, 211–7 www.brainstimjrnl.com ORIGINAL RESEARCH Response to deep TMS in depressive patients with previous electroconvulsive treatment Oded Rosenberg,a Abraham Zangen,b Rafael Stryjer,a Moshe Kotler,a Pinhas N. Dannona aThe Beer Ya’acov Mental Health Institution, Beer Ya’acov, Israel bDepartment of Neurobiology, the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100, Israel Background The efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the treatment of major depression has already been shown. Novel TMS coils allowing stimulation of deeper brain regions have recently been developed and studied. Objective Our study is aimed at exploring the possible efficacy of deep TMS in patients with resistant depression, who previously underwent electroconvalsive therapy (ECT). Methods Using Brainsway’s deep TMS H1 coil, six patients who previously underwent ECT, were treated with 120% power of the motor threshold at a frequency of 20 Hz. Patients underwent five sessions per week, up to 4 weeks. Before the study, patients were evaluated using the Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS, 24 items), the Hamilton anxiety scale, and the Beck depression inventory and were again evaluated after 5, 10, 15, and 20 daily treatments. Response to treatment was considered a reduction in the HDRS of at least 50%, and remission was considered a reduction of the HDRS-24 below 10 points. Results Two of six patients responded to the treatment with deep TMS, including one who achieved full remission. Conclusions Our results suggest the possibility of a subpopulation of depressed patients who may benefit from deep TMS treatment, including patients who did not respond to ECT previously. -
KIRYAT ANAVIM, 1921 LESSON OVERVIEW Kiryat Anavim (City of Vineyards) Is a Kibbutz in the Judean Hills Near Jerusalem
ANALYZING PRIMARY SOURCES CASE LEARNING ACTIVITY KIRYAT ANAVIM, 1921 LESSON OVERVIEW Kiryat Anavim (City of Vineyards) is a Kibbutz in the Judean Hills near Jerusalem. The land that would become the Kibbutz was bought in 1913-14 by the Palestine Land Development Company Organization from ‘Abdallah Effendi Abu Ghosh and ‘Abd al-Hamid Effendi Abu as part of the purchase of Dilb which had begun in 1910. The first settlers were a group of Jewish workers from Bialystock who, due to onset of World War I, vacated the area. The Kibbutz was founded in 1920 by a group of agricultural settlers from Eastern Europe who came as part of the Third Aliyah (see timeline 1919-1923). At first settlement and cultivation was difficult, especially as the settlers lacked sufficient financial resources, to develop modern farming on the hilly terrain. In 1920, the Jewish National Fund provided some financial assistance that helped the settlers by building terraces, planting saplings and. By the end of 1920 there were around 200 pioneers in Kiryat Anavim. In this lesson, students will analyze two photographs from Kiryat Anavim taken in 1921 and use their observations to produce a news story. ENDURING UNDERSTANDING Immigrants to Israel in 1920 faced many difficulties and worked hard to build and develop the infrastructure for the Jewish State. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS What was life like for pioneers to Israel in the 1920’s? What type of work did the pioneers need to do in order to develop the land? OBJECTIVES: Students will: Analyze two historical photographs Construct meaning from their observations Learn about how chroma key (green screen) photography and video work. -

Three Conquests of Canaan
ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case. -
