Two important events have taken place since the last Annual General Meeting. The Hon. Ewen E. S. Montagu, C.B.E., D.L., Q.C., who was elected to the Presidency in 1950, resigned from this office shortly after his election as President of the United Synagogue. Mr. Montagu formally tendered his resigna- tion to the Council on 8th July, 1954. He explained that his commitment to serve the United Synagogue ante-dated his taking office in the Association and it was impossible for one man to discharge the duties of both Presidencies. He explained that he still hoped to further the work of the Association as an ordinary member as he still held a firm belief in the great impor- tance of its activities. Mr. Montagu then moved the election of Mr. Carvalho as the new President of the Association and in doing so paid tribute to the inestimable value of the work Mr. Carvalho had so modestly and self-effacingly, but also so effi- ciently, done for the Association for many years. This proposal was seconded by Mr. Hyman Stone and the Chief Rabbi asked to be associated with the resolution. Mr. Carvalho was unanimously elected by the Council and immediately moved the election of Mr. Montagu as an additional Vice-President. Mr. Leonard Stein, O.B.E., in seconding the motion, paid a tribute to Mr. Montagu for his work for the A.J.A. and for the Anglo-Jewish Community as a whole. On taking office, the new President said that since learning that the honour of being elected President might be conferred on 6 XI Eighty-third Annual Report him, he had given a great deal of thought to what it would mean to himself and to the Association. The A.J.A. had a great past and it must be seen that its present and future were no less great. The A.J.A. was a voluntary association of men and women who were conscious of their dual heritage as Jews and Englishmen and determined to maintain that heritage and to pass it on to generations to come. Because of that dual heritage, the Anglo- Jewish Community had made a real contribution both to this country and to Kelal Israel.

I have asked our colleagues at the War Office to prepare a report.” Actor 2: “Thank you Sir. The war is taking much longer than anticipated.

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research
    Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research Gisela Eberhardt Fabian Link (eds.) BERLIN STUDIES OF THE ANCIENT WORLD has become increasingly diverse in recent years due to developments in the historiography of the sciences and the human- ities. A move away from hagiography and presentations of scientifi c processes as an inevitable progression has been requested in this context. Historians of archae- olo gy have begun to utilize approved and new histo- rio graphical concepts to trace how archaeological knowledge has been acquired as well as to refl ect on the historical conditions and contexts in which knowledge has been generated. This volume seeks to contribute to this trend. By linking theories and models with case studies from the nineteenth and twentieth century, the authors illuminate implications of communication on archaeological knowledge and scrutinize routines of early archaeological practices. The usefulness of di erent approaches such as narratological concepts or the concepts of habitus is thus considered. berlin studies of 32 the ancient world berlin studies of the ancient world · 32 edited by topoi excellence cluster Historiographical Approaches to Past Archaeological Research edited by Gisela Eberhardt Fabian Link Bibliographic information published by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Nationalbibliographie; detailed bibliographic data are available in the Internet at http://dnb.d-nb.de. © 2015 Edition Topoi / Exzellenzcluster Topoi der Freien Universität Berlin und der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Typographic concept and cover design: Stephan Fiedler Printed and distributed by PRO BUSINESS digital printing Deutschland GmbH, Berlin ISBN 978-3-9816384-1-7 URN urn:nbn:de:kobv:11-100233492 First published 2015 The text of this publication is licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC 3.0 DE.

  • Balfour Basics
    BALFOUR DECLARATION THE BASICS For WWI-era British policymakers, the Balfour Declaration was a matter of national interest, balanced by a desire to foster a Jewish national home while ensuring Arab civil and religious rights. For the Jewish people, it represented the beginning of the end of 2,000 years of statelessness. For its enemies, the Balfour Declaration remains the West's never-expiated 'original sin’. 1 Balfour Declaration: The Basics HERE IS where the world stood on Friday morning, November 2, 1917: A World War which had begun in the summer of 1914 was still pitting the Central Powers—including Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (Turkey)— against the Allies led by France, Britain and Russia. Only seven months earlier, on April 6, the United States had abandoned neutrality and entered the fray on the side of the Allies. The first American soldiers were now in France, at the front. The world had been torn asunder. That morning the newspapers reported—incorrectly it transpired— that Austro-German forces had captured 60,000 Italian Allied prisoners. Also reported was heavy artillery fire on the western front at Flanders, near German- occupied Belgium. In Russia, where Tsar Nicholas II had been overthrown in March, the government of the liberal Alexander Kerensky had just done well in local elections.1 But the country's resolve to stay in the war was shattered; within one week, on November 7, the Bolsheviks (or communists), led by Vladimir Lenin, would overthrow Kerensky and Russia would pull out of the war. The war had devastated Britain.
