The continuous budgetary cuts almost prevented the opening of the academic year, and we end the year under the shadow of the current global economic crisis. Notwithstanding these difficulties, the Hebrew University continues to thrive: as the present report shows, we have maintained our position of excellence. However the name of our game is not maintenance, but rather constant change and improvement, and despite the need to cut back and save, we have embarked on several new, innovative initiatives. As I reflect on my first year as Rector of the Hebrew University, the difficulties fade in comparison to the feeling of opportunity. We are fortunate to have the ongoing support of our friends, both in Israel and abroad, which is a constant reminder to us of the significance of the Hebrew University beyond its walls. Prof. Menachem Magidor is stepping down after twelve years as President of the University: it has been an enormous privilege to work with him during this year, and benefit from his experience, wisdom and vision.

  • Heinrich Frauberger: on the Construction and Embellishment of Old Synagogues*
    Heinrich Frauberger: On the construction and embellishment of old synagogues* Summary and Analysis by Nisya Allovi, Turkish Jewish Museum Over the past few decades Jewish congregations have grown continuously in larger and medium-sized cities. Existing synagogues are not sufficient in size and extensions are in most cases impossible due to the lack of space. Due to the expansion of cities and the high price of larger sites in central locations, the building of a new, single, large synagogue is impractical; occasionally the different religious service of Orthodox Jews and liberal congregations, makes the building of two separate houses of God preferable. As a result, many new synagogues, in some towns several of them have recently been built, and every year competitions are held for the construction of new ones. As could be seen a little while ago with the competition for the building of a new synagogue in Düsseldorf, these benefit from the enthusiastic participation of architects. Unfortunately, these calls for tenders generally produce unsatisfactory results. On the one hand, the local councils are uncertain when defining requirements; on the other hand, the architects have no knowledge of how religious practice takes place and how it has evolved. They are completely unprepared for this task. In addition, it is difficult to find documentation with detailed preliminary studies. For a few years it has been possible to buy postcards of a series of new synagogues, showing both exterior and interior views. On this script he studied on 44 different images of the synagogues. With regard to technical aspects, the chapter provides some very usable suggestions and focuses on templates with regard to the decorative elements.

  • Formalizing Common Sense Reasoning for Scalable Inconsistency-Robust Information Integration Using Direct Logictm Reasoning and the Actor Model
    Formalizing common sense reasoning for scalable inconsistency-robust information integration using Direct LogicTM Reasoning and the Actor Model Carl Hewitt. http://carlhewitt.info This paper is dedicated to Alonzo Church, Stanisław Jaśkowski, John McCarthy and Ludwig Wittgenstein. ABSTRACT People use common sense in their interactions with large software systems. This common sense needs to be formalized so that it can be used by computer systems. Unfortunately, previous formalizations have been inadequate. For example, because contemporary large software systems are pervasively inconsistent, it is not safe to reason about them using classical logic. Our goal is to develop a standard foundation for reasoning in large-scale Internet applications (including sense making for natural language) by addressing the following issues: inconsistency robustness, classical contrapositive inference bug, and direct argumentation. Inconsistency Robust Direct Logic is a minimal fix to Classical Logic without the rule of Classical Proof by Contradiction [i.e., (Ψ├ (¬))├¬Ψ], the addition of which transforms Inconsistency Robust Direct Logic into Classical Logic. Inconsistency Robust Direct Logic makes the following contributions over previous work: Direct Inference Direct Argumentation (argumentation directly expressed) Inconsistency-robust Natural Deduction that doesn’t require artifices such as indices (labels) on propositions or restrictions on reiteration Intuitive inferences hold including the following: . Propositional equivalences (except absorption) including Double Negation and De Morgan . -Elimination (Disjunctive Syllogism), i.e., ¬Φ, (ΦΨ)├T Ψ . Reasoning by disjunctive cases, i.e., (), (├T ), (├T Ω)├T Ω . Contrapositive for implication i.e., Ψ⇒ if and only if ¬⇒¬Ψ . Soundness, i.e., ├T ((├T) ⇒ ) . Inconsistency Robust Proof by Contradiction, i.e., ├T (Ψ⇒ (¬))⇒¬Ψ 1 A fundamental goal of Inconsistency Robust Direct Logic is to effectively reason about large amounts of pervasively inconsistent information using computer information systems.

  • An Observation About Truth
    An Observation about Truth (with Implications for Meaning and Language) Thesis submitted for the degree of “Doctor of Philosophy” By David Kashtan Submitted to the Senate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem November 2017 i This work was carried out under the supervision of: Prof. Carl Posy ii Racheli Kasztan-Czerwonogórze i Avigail Kasztan-Czerwonogórze i ich matce iii Acknowledgements I am the proximal cause of this dissertation. It has many distal causes, of which I will give only a partial list. During the several years in which this work was in preparation I was lucky to be supported by several sources. For almost the whole duration of my doctoral studies I was a funded doctoral fellow at the Language, Logic and Cognition Center. The membership in the LLCC has been of tremendous significance to my scientific education and to the final shape and content of this dissertation. I thank especially Danny Fox, from whom I learnt how linguistics is done (though, due to my stubbornness, not how to do it) and all the other members of this important place, past and present, and in particular Lital Myers who makes it all come together. In the years 2011-2013 I was a funded participant in an inter-university research and study program about Kantian philosophy. The program was organized by Ido Geiger and Yakir Levin from Ben-Gurion University, and by Eli Friedlander, Ofra Rechter and Yaron Senderowicz from Tel-Aviv University. The atmosphere in the program was one of intimacy and devotion to philosophy; I predict we will soon witness blossoms, the seeds of which were planted there.
