"Interesele Israelului corespund cu cele ale na ţiunilor arabe moderate, pentru c ă ambele p ărţi se confrunt ă cu amenin ţarea Iranului, cu cea a Jihadului (r ăzboiul sfânt islamic), cu cea a re ţelei Al-Qaida şi cu efectele pe care le pot avea conflictele din Siria şi din Irak.

  • The Knesset Building in Giv'at Ram: Planning and Construction
    The Knesset Building in Giv’at Ram: Planning and Construction Originally published in Cathedra Magazine, 96th Edition, July 2000 Written by Dr. Susan Hattis Rolef Introduction Already in the early days of modern Zionism, it was clear to those who envisioned the establishment of a Jewish State, and those who acted to realize the vision, that once it was established, it would be a democracy, in which a parliament would be built. In his book Altneuland (written in 1902), Theodor Herzl, described the parliament of the Jewish state in Jerusalem in the following words: “[A] great crowd was massed before (the Congress House). The election was to take place in the lofty council chamber built of solid marble and lighted from above through matte glass. The auditorium seats were still empty, because the delegates were still in the lobbies and committee rooms, engaged in exceedingly hot discussion…" 1 In his book Yerushalayim Habnuya (written in 1918), Boris Schatz, who had established the Bezalel school of arts and crafts, placed the parliament of the Jewish State on Mount Olives: "Mount Olives ceased to be a mountain of the dead… it is now the mountain of life…the round building close to [the Hall of Peace] is our parliament, in which the Sanhedrin sits".2 When in the 1920s the German born architect, Richard Kaufmann, presented to the British authorities his plan for the Talpiot neighborhood, that was designed to be a Jerusalem garden neighborhood, it included an unidentified building of large dimensions. When he was asked about the meaning of the building he relied in German: "this is our parliament building".

  • The Nitra Synagogue
    THE NITRA SYNAGOGUE EURÓPSKA ÚNIA Project was co-fi nanced by ERDF – EU funds „Investícia do Vašej budúcnosti“ „Investment into your future“ discover the place, live the story For centuries Nitra was one of the most signifi cant centres of Jewish life in Slovakia. Th e fi rst written record of Jewish presence in this territory, known as Mons Judeorum (Jewish Hill), can be already found in the second Zobor Deed, dating back to 1113; however, the archaeological discoveries of Jewish cemetery remains prove the existence of a Jewish community in the area at least one century earlier. Th e Jews mainly had the statute of Kalisz, royal tax collectors, although they were tradesmen and, to a lesser extent, craft smen. Experts believe that part of Nitra known today as Párovce was where the Jews lived then – it is also proved by its name Castrum Judeorum (i.e. Jewish fortifi ed settlement), which this area carries from 1248. In the 18th century the Jewish community from Párovce became more and more involved in public administration and had its own reeve. A Jewish religious community was established in the mid 18th century and comprised 21 Jewish families with a rabbi and apparently a synagogue, which the fi rst record is about from 1766, when it was restored. In 1818 the community was granted the land adjacent to the old synagogue, to be expanded in 1820. A Jewish elementary school formed a part of it. Th ere were some oratories, a ritual bath from 1885, a hospice and a hospital. A secondary religious school Talmud Torah and especially a rabbinical school – Yeshiva (for which Jozef Engel, a maecenas from Nitra, had especially erected a building in 1903) were well- known all throughout the Habsburg-ruled Austro-Hungarian Empire.
