  • Response of the Jewish Daily Press in Palestine to the Accession of Hitler, 1933 Benny Morris
    Response of the Jewish Daily Press in Palestine to the Accession of Hitler, 1933 Benny Morris Eretz Israel is being built from the rubble of the Diaspora. The losses inflicted on world Jewry have greatly abetted the rapid growth of the National Home at this time . and Eretz Israel will absorb the few who escaped the process of destruction and devastation.1 This article surveys the attitudes of the Palestinian Jewish press toward Hitler’s accession to power and the Nazi upheaval in Germany in 1933. The study hopes to shed light on the nature of this press, the consolidation of the Yishuv’s attitude toward the Nazis, and the patterns of thinking and action adopted by the Zionist movement in the 1930s. The press at a specific time, with respect to a certain subject, is of dual value to the historian. First, it reflects how certain topics and events were viewed and construed during the period studied, and each individual newspaper reflects the specific perspective of a given political party or social circle toward the processes and events. Second, the press influences public opinion and helps shape certain groups’ perceptions and understandings of the events they witness. Sometimes, too, the press provides facts about events and communicates the views of the personalities about events by means of interviews and features. This article focuses on several themes: the response of the Palestinian Jewish press to the elections in Germany in July and November 1932; its responses to Hitler’s accession to power on January 30, 1933; and the effect of Yishuv politics on these responses.

  • 2013 / 2014 Performance Report
    2013 / 2014 Performance Report How is a program born? Much like any dream, it starts with the vision of a passionate individual, and comes into being through months and years of hard work. Strategic work to identify unfulfilled needs in relevant markets is followed by gauging feasibility. Next comes building strong programmatic content to answer those needs, as well as to advance the greater organizational mission. At the same time, there are partnerships to forge and resources to obtain. There are pilots to plan down to the last logistic, to evaluate, and to adjust accordingly. There are participants to keep in touch with; there are alliances to maintain. Often times, one or two individuals do several jobs for many years. They do it with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and skill, because they believe in their “Why,” and because they are excellent at fulfilling the “What.” That is the magic of our people at The Jewish Agency for Israel, a microcosm of Jewish and Israeli Initiative and Inspiration. This is the story of our everyday visionaries, our employees, and the more than one million lives they touch through our programming every year. We dedicate this Annual Report to the best and the brightest: the dreamers and doers who sketch in their mind’s eye the many paths to the Jewish future, and ensure through relentless stewardship that these come alive, in living color. Our Vision: To ensure the future of a connected, committed, global Jewish People with a strong Israel at its center Our Mission: Inspire Jews throughout the world to
