  • 1948 Arab‒Israeli
    1948 Arab–Israeli War 1 1948 Arab–Israeli War מלחמת or מלחמת העצמאות :The 1948 Arab–Israeli War, known to Israelis as the War of Independence (Hebrew ,מלחמת השחרור :, Milkhemet Ha'atzma'ut or Milkhemet HA'sikhror) or War of Liberation (Hebrewהשחרור Milkhemet Hashikhrur) – was the first in a series of wars fought between the State of Israel and its Arab neighbours in the continuing Arab-Israeli conflict. The war commenced upon the termination of the British Mandate of Palestine and the Israeli declaration of independence on 15 May 1948, following a period of civil war in 1947–1948. The fighting took place mostly on the former territory of the British Mandate and for a short time also in the Sinai Peninsula and southern Lebanon.[1] ., al-Nakba) occurred amidst this warﺍﻟﻨﻜﺒﺔ :Much of what Arabs refer to as The Catastrophe (Arabic The war concluded with the 1949 Armistice Agreements. Background Following World War II, on May 14, 1948, the British Mandate of Palestine came to an end. The surrounding Arab nations were also emerging from colonial rule. Transjordan, under the Hashemite ruler Abdullah I, gained independence from Britain in 1946 and was called Jordan, but it remained under heavy British influence. Egypt, while nominally independent, signed the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 that included provisions by which Britain would maintain a garrison of troops on the Suez Canal. From 1945 on, Egypt attempted to renegotiate the terms of this treaty, which was viewed as a humiliating vestige of colonialism. Lebanon became an independent state in 1943, but French troops would not withdraw until 1946, the same year that Syria won its independence from France.

Image of the Religious Jewish Woman in Savyon Liebrecht’s Story “Apples from the Desert”: Form and Content. Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal, 4(6) 60-72 Image of the Religious Jewish Woman in Savyon Liebrecht’s Story “Apples from the Desert”: Form and Content Dr. Thaier Kizel Head of the Department of Hebrew Language and Hebrew Literature Arab Academic College of Education, Haif INTRODUCTION Divine missions have always been associated with men. Men were entrusted by God to worship Him and women were men’s helpers in the dissemination of the message, although usually their role was restricted to hearth and home. In modern times women began to share men’s roles in every aspect of life, in religion, in politics and in society. In fact, women in some cases have pushed men out of some of the latter’s former roles in life. The afore-mentioned facts are also applicable to Judaism, whose founding prophet Moses was a man. Jewish women obeyed the ritual law because of the men. However, as just noted, their role was purely domestic. However, they began to rebel in every domain, including that of religion, even after they immigrated to Israel. The Jewish religion played an important role in defining the place of women in every aspect of Jewish life, whether in politics, society, religion or any other. Their role at first was marginal, in fact practically non-existent, at the birth of modern Hebrew literature and the emergence of the Zionist movement.

    1 Nafcha, Biba Born 10 October 1922 Joined the Palmach in 1944 Joined the Gideonim (radio operators) Course in Shefayim in 1945 This is the Way it Was My father came to Palestine in 1909 and studied at the Teachers’ Seminary in Jerusalem. He fought the battle of the languages in Haifa and transferred the pupils of the “Ezra” school to the synagogue which, after several convolutions became the “Geulah” school in Haifa. My brother David graduated from the “Reali” school in Haifa with honors and from then on devoted himself to the sea. He became an instructor, translated material from English, and was active in Aliya Bet until he disappeared with the “23 who were lost at sea”, near Lebanon. I strongly identified with him and had the urge to follow in his footsteps. There was a war going on and Haifa was bombed by the Italians. We studied in the mornings and in the afternoon had a course in signaling. As we sat at our transmitters we heard the explosion that rocked the port of Haifa and sent the “Patria” and many Ma’apilim to the bottom of the sea. The Hagana intended that we should man radio stations, but we were active in the scout movement and intended to establish a kibbutz. Some of our members were already in training in Beit Hashita and Ginnegar, and after that at Degania A (Alef). When I completed my high school studies I did not do as my parents wished and continue to study at the Technion. Instead, I went for training to Degania B.

  • The Hebrew Language Council from 1904 to 1914*
    Bulletin of the SOAS, 73, 1 (2010), 45–64. © School of Oriental and African Studies, 2010. doi:10.1017/S0041977X09990346 Revisiting the language factor in Zionism: The Hebrew Language Council from 1904 to 1914* İlker Aytürk Bilkent University, Turkey [email protected] Abstract The role of language and linguistic-philological studies in the nationalist movements of the nineteenth century received much attention. The aim of this article is to focus on the language factor in Zionism and the revival of Hebrew as a spoken language in the Yishuv between 1904 and 1914. Founded in 1904, the Hebrew Language Council was expected to enhance the process of revival and, from the very beginning, an unmistakably nationalist attitude to its subject matter marked the Council’s agenda. However, the authority of the Council to make binding decisions on lin- guistic matters was contested by a number of other Zionist institutions, a development which ruined the prestige and effectiveness of the Council. The controversy resulted less from a turf war or quarrels over scarce resources than a deeper question of which institution represented the “true” Hebraic spirit. The World Zionist Organization’s decision to de- align from cultural matters, including the revival of Hebrew, worsened the conditions under which the Council operated. From a comparative per- spective, thus, the Hebrew case provides an unusual case of linguistic nationalism, which should be of interest to students of both nationalism and sociolinguistics. The majority of the scholars in the field of nationalism studies today agree on the modernity of nations and believe nations to be “constructs”, “artefacts” or “ima- gined communities”, invented by a host of nationalist ideologues since the late eighteenth century.
