The main argument made in the paper is that while the formal legal structure of the cooperatives belonging to the labor movement was an outcome of the convergence in time and space of legal transplantation (the British Mandate legislation) and the implant of the culture of Jewish cooperatives in Eastern-Europe, it was the cooperative culture as developed by the Federation that prevailed in constituting the practices and understandings of the cooperatives and their members.

At the latter 1 s suggestion, I began searching for materials on Israel 1 s tech~ical assistance to Africa and became much engrossed in it. When one reads widely on this subject, several questions come to mind. Why, for example, did Israel, a small, newly inde­ pendent nation, offer assistance to tbs new nations and territories of Africa? On the other hand, why did such African nations accept this aid so readily? What were the reactions of the Arab nations? Of the West? Of the Sino-Soviet Bloc? Of underdeveloped nations in general? Of Israel? What will be Israel's future in "Black Africa"? Data will be presented and conclusions drawn in answer to each of these questions. November JO, 1964 Elton R.

    ISRAEL Population r-piHE POPULATION of the State of Israel at the end of June 1954 was 1,687,886. J. Of these, 188,936 (about 11 per cent) were non-Jews. The table below shows the growth of the population of Israel since May 1948. TABLE 1 JEWISH POPULATION OF ISRAEL, MAY 1948-JULY 1954 Tear Jews Non-Jews Total 1948 758,000 1949 1,013,000 160,000 1,173,000 1950 1,203,000 167,000 1,370,000 1951 1,404,000 173,000 1,577,000 1952 1,450,000 179,000 1,629,000 1953 1,483,505 185,892 1,669,397 1954 (July) 1,498,950 188,936 1,687,886 The total yearly population increase fell from 17 per cent in 1950 to 15 per cent in 1951, 3.3 per cent in 1952, and 2.3 per cent in 1953, due to a decrease in the number of immigrants. Since the first half of 1952 the natural increase had exceeded the net migration. During the first half of 1953 the number of emigrants exceeded the number of immigrants, but during the latter half of the year, immigration was again somewhat greater than emi- gration. During 1953 there were 11,800 immigrants and 8,650 emigrants in all. During the first six months of 1954, 4,128 new immigrants came to Israel.

  • Lexicon of Zionism
    Lexicon of Zionism By Ahuzat Bayit In 1907, Jewish residents of Jaffa formed a society by the name of Ahuzat Bayit, with a view towards establishing a neighborhood outside the congested city. With funds lent by the Jewish National Fund, land was purchased near Jaffa. The parcels were drawn by lot, and the foundations of the first building were laid in 1909. Ahuzat Bayit merged with two other new neighborhoods, Nahalat Binyamin and Geula, and they were together named "Tel Aviv," the title of Nahum Sokolow's Hebrew translation of Herzl's utopian novel, Altneuland. Aliya - see "Aliya and Absorption", Centenary of Zionism series. Aliya Bet A branch of the Haganah headed by Shaul Avigur, established to organize illegal immigration to Palestine. Established in 1939, the organization concentrated on rescuing Jews from Europe. When sea routes had to be abandoned, it switched to land-based illegal immigration from Arab countries. In the last year of the war, immigration via Romania resumed. Between 1945-48, Aliya Bet organized 65 voyages that carried about 70,000 displaced persons and refugees from European and North African ports to Palestine. The organization established a network of emissaries in Europe, America, North Africa and the Middle East, who handled purchasing and outfitting of the vessels and appointed commanders and radio operators for the immigration ships. A communications network was set up between Palestine and all Aliya Bet emissaries, as well as with the Palestine-bound vessels and the British internees' camps in Cyprus. After the establishment of the State of Israel, the Aliya Bet emissaries focused on immigrants from Arab countries.

  • The Central Synagogue of Nazareth Illit and Its Architectural Dialogue with Nazareth’S Basilica of the Annunciation ✉ Naomi Simhony 1
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00660-2 OPEN The Central Synagogue of Nazareth Illit and its architectural dialogue with Nazareth’s Basilica of the Annunciation ✉ Naomi Simhony 1 The hometown of Jesus, Nazareth, is an international center of Christian pilgrimage that has capitalized on showcasing its sacred sites. Architect Antonio Barluzzi was commissioned to 1234567890():,; design Nazareth’s modern Basilica of the Annunciation in 1954, and a cornerstone for the project was laid in a well-attended ceremony. It seems that the establishment of the modern church was the catalyst for the eagerness with which the Israeli authorities approached establishing a Jewish monument in the region. In 1957, a design process for the Central Synagogue in Nazareth Illit (subsequently renamed Nof HaGalil) began, with the aim of proudly competing with the churches and mosques in the Nazareth region. Both the basilica and the synagogue were erected by Israeli construction firm Solel Boneh and were inaugurated in 1968 and 1969, respectively. This article examines the impact of the inception, estab- lishment and building of Nazareth’s Basilica of the Annunciation on the drive to strengthen Jewish presence in the Nazareth region, which in turn stood behind the construction of the Nazareth Illit synagogue. This research is based on a comparative investigation of the his- tories of both structures, including early design proposals, architecture, and the religious artworks therein. This comparative investigation reveals the influence of the basilica on the synagogue and the shared aspects of their design and execution. While existing literature dedicated to the Central Synagogue in Nazareth Illit has focused on its significance and meaning as an Israeli architectural landmark, this article presents a new perspective, examining how a modern architectural trend was used as an agent in the struggle between local Jewish and Christian monumental dominance.

    UCLA UCLA Historical Journal Title The Arch of a Sephardic-Mizrahi Ethnic Autonomy in Palestine, 1926 to 1929 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3hd11878 Journal UCLA Historical Journal, 24(1) ISSN 0276-864X Author Sharim, Yehuda Publication Date 2013 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Arch of a Sephardic-Mizrahi Ethnic Autonomy in Palestine, 1926 to 1929 Yehuda Sharim University of California, Los Angeles During the World Sephardic Meeting in August 1925, members of the Sephardic- Mizrahi leadership questioned the role of a Sephardic-Mizrahi identity in politics.1 Their dilemma revolved around one doubt articulated by multiple Sephardic-Mizrahi leaders in 1926 and 1931: “to be or not to be” (“lehiyot oh lachdol”)2—that is, to be or not to be identified as a political entity separate from the growing Zionist enterprise in Palestine. Throughout the decade, from 1926 to 1929, to even ask this question was to invite accusations by Yishuv members of being seditious and anti-Zionist, of “promoting mistrust and divi- sion,” and of receiving “foreign” donations intended to the Zionist project.3 Nevertheless, the idea of Sephardic-Mizrahi autonomy persisted in the minds of Sephardic-Mizrahi leaders. This article examines how Sephardic-Mizrahi groups envisaged and fought for an autonomous entity in Palestine from 1926 to 1929, but then devolved into being an ethnic group without a distinct political representation or a clear political agenda. Additionally, this paper explicates how the Sephardic-Mizrahi leadership’s resistance of an “abusive” Zionist organization ultimately yielded a discourse of self-inferiority.4 A dichotomy resulted from the growing associations of Sephardic-Mizrahi identity with cultural backwardness and ideological stagna- tion.

  • Remembering Palestine in 1948 Beyond National Narratives
    Remembering Palestine in 1948 Beyond National Narratives The war of 1948 in Palestine is a conflict whose history has been written primarily from the national point of view. This book asks what happens to these narratives when they arise out of the personal stories of those who were involved, stories that are still unfolding. Efrat Ben-Ze’ev, an Israeli anthropologist, examines the memories of those who participated in and were affected by the events of 1948, and how these events have been mythologized over time. This is a three-way conversation between Palestinian villagers, Jewish-Israeli veterans, and British policemen who were stationed in Palestine on the eve of the war. Each has his or her story to tell. Across the years, these witnesses relived their past in private within family circles and tightly knit groups, through gatherings and pilgrimages to sites of villages and battles, or through naming and storytelling. Rarely have their stories been revealed to an outsider. As Dr. Ben-Ze’ev discovers, these small-scale truths, which were collected from people at the dusk of their lives and previously overshadowed by nationalized histories, shed new light on the Palestinian–Israel conflict, as it was then and as it has become. Dr. Efrat Ben-Ze’ev is Senior Lecturer in Social Anthropology in the Department of Behavioral Sciences at the Ruppin Academic Center in Israel, and Research Fellow at the Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her publications include, as co-editor, Shadows of War: A Social History of Silence in the Twentieth Century (Cambridge University Press, 2010).
