Planning memorials seemed a viable way of containing trauma. It “allowed people to begin . to feel as if the horrid event itself was over—containable, already a memory,” as Marita Sturken writes.3 The sites of violent terrorist impact in Manhattan, Washington, and Shanksville were immediately perceived as the definitive sites of mourning, and public discourse called for their later translation into locations for ritualized practices of commemoration around constructed memorials. Public discourse rendered them lieux de mémoire, sites of memory, as Pierre Nora defines them in his seven-volume study on the identity politics and memorial culture of the French nation-state.4 While Nora’s sites do not necessarily need to be locations, they provide spaces for the exchange and transfer of memories.5 The “site-specific concept of memory in modernity” renders “the land where .

  • Chapter Six: Dialogic Creation
    Chapter Six: Dialogic Creation A.Melting Pot When Rachel and Jeremiah Shapirah were chosen to found and direct Hadassim by the heads of WIZO, their first step was to span the whole of the country for the teachers that would fit in with the spirit of Schwabe’s Teacher-Scout group. More specifically, they were looking for young, inexperienced instructors free of influences that could compromise the educational fountainhead which Hadassim would become. It was for the best that Rachel and Jeremiah weren’t philosophers. There have been many new ideas in the realm of education, but philosophical originators have a bad track record when it comes to implementing such ideas. It was precisely the Shapirahs’ accomplishment to synthesize and implement Schwabe’s philosophy in the practical arena of educational design. Schwabe was there, in person, to consult them throughout the process (until his death in the fifties). The result of this division of labor was a wholly new creation: we, the students, were the end and purpose of it; we were there to “see the voices” – just as the Jewish people had once “seen the voice” of God at Mount Sinai. Ultimately, life in the village rested on a triumvirate of sorts: Schwabe, Shapirah and Spira, with Buber and Margolin adding their own voices. These interwoven dimensions reached their climactic expression in Micha’s dancing – in public, during the Shavuout holiday, and in private, in his Jerusalem apartment. The course followed by Rachel and Jeremiah during Hadassim’s first decade, from the moment they were given direction over the village until the mid-fifties, was a model of optimal policy formulation and execution.

That surfeit could equally apply to the Israeli political system, which has been called a democracy on steroids. The number of political opinions, are jokingly said to outnumber the population. Israelis span a spectrum from the far left to the rabid right, and are rarely shy about making their opinions known.
