  • MEI REMEMBERS No
    MEI REMEMBERS No. 09 Friday, 11 October 2013 Rabbi Ovadia Yosef (1920 – 2013) By Mushtaq Hussain Jawaharlal Nehru University abbi Ovadia Yosef, one of the foremost Talmud scholars of his generation, former chief Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel and the founder of the Shas Party, died in Jerusalem on R 7 October 2013 after prolonged illness. The 93-year old Rabbi Yosef was hailed as the generation’s leading religious arbiter by his supporters, and a divisive and polemic figure by his detractors. Born Abdullah Youssef in Baghdad in September 1920, he made aliya with his parents to Mandate Palestine at the age of four. He enrolled at Porat Yosef Yeshiva, the leading rabbinical Middle East Institute @ New Delhi, www.mei.org.in 1 MEI REMEMBERS- 09/HUSSAIN Sephardic seminary in Jerusalem. He was ordained as a rabbi at the young age of 20 and made a religious court judge at 25. In 1947, Rabbi Yosef was appointed the chief Rabbi of Cairo, at a time when the security of Egypt’s tiny Jewish community was threatened because of the Arab- Jewish tensions in Palestine. Yosef returned to Israel in 1950 and in 1968, he became chief rabbi of Tel Aviv. Yosef was appointed the Chief Sephardic Rabbi in 1973, a post he held till 1983. During his tenure, he issued a number of important rulings including that were to affect the Israeli society for generations to come. In one of his ruling he ended a longstanding dispute regarding the status of Ethiopian Jews by ruling that they are Jewish by Halacha (Jewish law) standards and should thus be allowed to immigrate to Israel.

    Journal Human Remains and Commemoration GARIBIAN, Sévane (Guest Ed.) Reference GARIBIAN, Sévane (Guest Ed.). Human Remains and Commemoration. Human Remains and Violence, 2015, vol. 1, no. 2 Available at: http://archive-ouverte.unige.ch/unige:76215 Disclaimer: layout of this document may differ from the published version. 1 / 1 Editors’ comment: an exceptional issue for an exceptional year HUMAN REMAINS & VIOLENCE Inherently multi-disciplinary in its conception, Human Remains and Violence aims at analysing the fate of corpses and body parts when they appear en masse in contexts marked by violence, whether in post-conflict, mass crime or genocidal situations, or in the aftermath of natural disasters. As such, the journal covers a vast range of topics and fields, from political science, the sociology of religion and diplomatic history to forensic anthropology, disaster studies and international criminal law (this list being purely illustrative and by no means exhaustive). Following the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide on 7 April 2014, the year 2015 contains a series of inescapable commemorations of genocides, to which Human Remains and Violence chose to pay special attention: the year started with the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp on 27 January and then the 40th anniversary of the atrocities perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia on 17 April, followed by the anniversaries of the Armenian and Srebrenica genocides – marking 100 years and 20 years respectively – on 24 April and 11 July. Despite its editorial policy aiming at publishing issues of varia, the Editorial Board of Human Remains and Violence decided, exceptionally, to commission a thematic issue on the topic of human remains and commemoration, with a par- ticular focus on the question of the place given to, and taken by, the various body parts and human remains in post-mass violence memorial procedures.
