The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically. -

Para lograr esto, se estudiarán los grupos de interés religiosos enmarcados en el sistema político israelí, analizando el sistema de coaliciones de partidos, en especial lo que respecta a la dinámica de los partidos políticos de filiación religiosa. -
1 Russian Jewry's Short Twentieth Century, 1914-1991
Russian Jewry’s Short Twentieth Century, 1914-1991 Mihaly Kalman Jewish Studies Program Central European University 2016, Winter Term 2 credits Office hours: by appointment Course description This course introduces students to the history of Soviet Jewry between World War One and the fall of the Soviet Union, with a particular emphasis on the Jewish experience of the World War One and the Russian Civil War. The Jews of Tsarist Russia – the largest Jewish community at the time – were subject to mandatory draft, deportations, violence and pogroms throughout the tumultuous years of World War One and the Russian Civil War. At the same time, Zionist political hopes were boosted by the British government’s promise to establish a “national home” in Palestine, Jewish Communists rose to some of the most prominent roles in the fledgling Soviet state, and the slogans of Jewish political and cultural autonomism carried the day. The emancipation of Jews in 1917 brought about an unprecedented flurry of Jewish political, literary, and social activity, while Soviet Jewish authorities attempted to define an idiosyncratic course of development for the Jews of the Soviet state. From the persecution of Judaism and Zionism, through the development of Yiddish culture and education, to postwar official antisemitism we get a glimpse into the flourishment and tribulations of Jewish life in the Soviet Union. Through primary sources and secondary works, this course will examine the tectonic changes Russian Jewry underwent during the years of crisis in 1914-1921, and in the following seven decades. The course will also serve to introduce students to the history nationalities question of the multiethnic Soviet state, and the vexed relationship between internationalism and Jewishness. -

He also attempted to raise the consciousness of immigrant Jews by analyzing the reasons for their failure to embrace what he defi ned as “progressive nationalism.” His application of Eastern European autonomist ideas to the American context offers a provocative critique of cosmopolitan tendencies in progressive politics, in Jewish circles and beyond. W artykule poddano analizie sposób wykorzystania przez Chaima Żytłowskiego (1865–1943) „wewnętrznej” żydowskiej przestrzeni prasy jidysz do krytykowania amerykańskiego tygla i przedstawienia jego alternatywnego modelu „internacjonalistycznego”. Żytłowski próbował podnieść świadomość Żydów-imigrantów, analizując przy- czyny, dla których nie przyjęli tego, co określił jako „postępowy nacjonalizm”. Zastosowanie przez Żytłowskiego wschodnioeuropejskich pomysłów autonomicznych w kontekście amerykańskim oferuje prowokującą krytykę kosmo- politycznych tendencji w polityce ery progresywizmu, w kręgach żydowskich i nie tylko.

The Vision and Venture of the Jewish People Introduc
IISRAEL The Vision and Venture of the Jewish People INTRODUC Introduction Dr. Shlomi Ravid The enduring understanding of the following narrative is that the State of Israel was envisioned and built by the Jewish People. Today, however, most young Jews, both in Israel and throughout the Jewish world, view Israel as the “State of the Israelis” and have difficulty grasping the notion of the “State of the Jewish People” altogether. Despite this reality, our belief is that Israel is still conceptually and essentially the State of the Jewish People ti and can regain that status in the hearts and mind of young Jews if it will return to be the vision and venture of the People. Our main purpose in offering a current reinterpretation of the O narrative of the State of Israel as “the vision and venture of the Jewish people” is to frame the conversation about the future of N Israel from a Peoplehood perspective, by providing new answers to such questions as: • What is my relationship, as a Jew, to the Jewish State and how can I enhance this relationship from a Peoplehood perspective? • What should Israel do in order to continue being the State of the Jewish People in the future? • What should the Jewish people do to keep Israel as a core concept of their Peoplehood? • Does being the Jewish State place unique expectations and obligations on Israel? • What are the core principles of Peoplehood that should be applied to Jewish sovereignty? • What are the intersections of Peoplehood and Judaism and where do they interface with Israel as the State of the Jewish People? In the following pages, we will advance and demonstrate the enduring understanding that Israel is indeed the vision and the venture of the Jewish People, showing that: 2 Koby Gidon Koby A festive Taglit-Birthright Israel event in Jerusalem, 2007 1. -

Antony Polonsky• Fragile Coexistence, Tragic Acceptance
Antony Polonsky Fragile Coexistence, Tragic Acceptance The Politics and History of the East European Jews Eastern Europe’s Jews have their own history. In the 18th and 19th centu- ries, repression and reform forced the Jews to assimilate to their surround- ings. However, attempts to integrate failed repeatedly and led to ideologi- cal divisions among the Jews. As Zionists, integrationists, and socialists, they pursued different paths to social and legal equality. Most East Euro- pean Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. After the Second World War, some of the survivors tried to shape Communist societies – un- successfully. Antisemitism and pogroms forced them to emigrate. On the eve of the Second World War, Poland’s borders embraced the largest Jewish community in Europe. With nearly 3.5 million Jews, Polish Jewry maintained its position as one of the main centres of the Jewish world. The second largest Jewish community in Europe (and third in the world) was that of the Soviet Union, where over 3 million people had declared themselves to be of “Jewish nationality” during the 1939 census. It, too, was a major source of Jewish creativity, although much of the specific Socialist cultural autonomy granted the Jews in the 1920s had been whittled away by Stalin in the 1930s. At this time, Lithuania, with over 150,000 Jews, also remained a vital centre of Jewish culture, both religious and secular. All three of these communities were derived from the Jewish community of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569–1795). In the mid-18th century, the lands of this vast state were home to a Jewish community whose population had reached more than three-quarters of a million, at least one-third of the Jews in the world at the time. -
