AOB The European Cantors Association (ECA) was launched by Cantor Joseph Malovany in July 2012 in Manchester at the 7th annual European Cantors Convention. • ECA was created as a framework within which cantors themselves can work individually and together to raise their profile and standing in the community. • This has inspired and enabled cantors to become active in working with the younger generation, engaging in meaningful dialogue with rabbis and lay synagogue leadership and arranging study days and conventions to improve their skills and knowledge. • The ECA slogans are ‘the future of synagogue music’ and ‘no more blame, let’s get on with the game’. Cantors today realise that unless they take the viability of their future into their own hands, the timeless and traditional cantorial music loved by centuries of Jews may be lost forever.

    MIFTAH- Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy

    MIFTAH- Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy Protection of Women from Violence in Times of Armed Conflict: Palestinian Women as a Case Study Prepared By: Tamara Tamimi April 2020 1 Protection of Women from Violence in Times of Armed Conflict: Palestinian Women as a Case Study Abstract in English Violence against women in Palestine at the hands of Israeli occupation forces and settlers is part and parcel of the wider framework of violence against the Palestinian people. Violence by occupation forces takes many different forms, some are evident and clear such as targeted killing and injury, as well as imprisonment. Other forms of violence are less pronounced but equally important as they pertain to the forcible displacement of Palestinians; these include house demolitions, house evictions, revocation of residency, land and property confiscation and imposition of restrictions on the registration of newborns. While this violence is targeted against the entirety of the Palestinian people, including women, children and the elderly, it has a disproportionate impact on women due to reinforcement of patriarchy, traditional gender roles and stereotypes, as well as the reproduction of the cycle of violence by the stronger social group against the weaker social group, and signifying diminishing acceptance and tolerance to diversity and difference. Violence against the Palestinian people as a whole has persisted for over fifty years despite the multitude of instruments and mechanisms to protect from violence in times of armed conflict. This includes instruments within the framework of international humanitarian law, international human rights law and international criminal law, as well as the women, peace and security agenda.

    Knesset Yisrael: Beyond the Zebra Effect Rabbi Reuven Brand Rosh Kollel, Yeshiva University Torah Mitzion Kollel of Chicago

    Knesset Yisrael: Beyond the Zebra Effect Rabbi Reuven Brand Rosh Kollel, Yeshiva University Torah Mitzion Kollel of Chicago One Statement, Three Questions לא הביט און ביעקב ולא He has not seen iniquity in Jacob, nor has he seen impropriety in Israel; the ראה עמל בישראל ה' .Lord his God is with him, and the trumpet blast of a king is among them אלהיו עמו ותרועת מלך בו: Bamidbar 23:21 במדבר כג:כא This statement is one of the phrases that Hashem placed in the mouth of Bilaam, the gentile prophet, as he attempted to curse the emerging Jewish nation in the desert. His proclamation became a divinely inspired blessing, as this highly laudatory comment implies. Rashbam (R. Shmuel ben Meir, c. 1080-1160, France) explains the intent of the verse to mean that although sometimes the Jews do commit iniquity or impropriety, Hashem does not want to punish them. Ibn Ezra (R. Abraham Ibn Ezra, 1089-1164, Spain) suggests that Bilaam observed the success of the Jewish people and attributed it to their spiritual prowess, but were they to sin then Hashem would punish them. Rashi (R. Shlomo ben Yitzchak, 1040- 1105, France) cites a more radical interpretation. He explains that Hashem does not care to witness flaws or shortcomings among his people. This, however, is difficult to comprehend in light of a statement in the Talmud: אמר ר׳ חנינא: כל האומר הקב״ה ותרן R. Hanina said: If a man says that the Holy One, blessed be הוא ־ יותרו חייו, שנאמר: (דברים ל״ב) He, is forgoing, his life shall be outlawed, for it is stated, He is הצור תמים פעלו כי כל דרכיו משפט .
