  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION RECOVERING A REPRESSED PAS T On February 12, 2013, Ruth Calderon was invited to the dais of the Israeli Knesset to deliver her firs t speech as a newly-elected member of parliament.1 The speech was unlike any given in the his tory of deliberations in Israel’s legislature in that it consis ted primarily of her reading and interpreting a Talmudic s tory. The Talmudic s tory that Calderon read before the Knesset, firs t in the original Aramaic and then in Hebrew translation, was, as is typical of these s tories, very brief: Rabbi Rahumi s tudied under Rava in Mehoza. He would regularly come home to his wife on the eve of Yom Kippur. One day [on the eve of Yom Kippur] the topic [he was s tudying] drew him in. His wife anticipated him, “He is coming. He is coming.” He did not come. She began to grieve. She shed a tear from her eye. He was sitting on a roof. The roof collapsed under him, and he died. (B. Ketubot 62b)2 The s tory reflects what appears to have been a common practice among rabbinic scholars in Babylonia: to absent themselves from home for long periods of time to s tudy Torah. The author of the s tory expresses his disapproval of this cus tom by portraying empathically the emotional s tress experienced by Rabbi Rahumi’s wife when he was so engaged in Torah s tudy that he forgot to return home for the sacred holiday. The excitement captured in her cry of anticipation, “He is coming.

  • A Test of Rival Strategies: Two Ships Passing in the Night
    Chapter 4 A Test of Rival Strategies: Two Ships Passing in the Night Giora Romm The purpose of this essay is to analyze several prominent military aspects of the war in Lebanon and derive the main lessons from them. The essay does not deal in historical explanations of what caused any particular instance of military thinking or any specific achievement. Rather, the analysis points to four main conclusions: the importance of clear expression at the command level to reduce the battle fog; the phenomenon of military blindness with respect to the role played by short range rockets (Katyushas) in the overall military campaign; the alarming performance of the ground forces; and the critical importance of an exit strategy and identification of the war’s optimal end point from the very outset of the war. The War and its Goals The 2006 Lebanon war began on July 12 and continued for thirty-three days. The event began as a military operation designed to last one day or a few days. As matters dragged on and became more complicated, more vigorous terms were used to describe the fighting. Several months after the campaign, the government officially recognized it as a “war.” This was a war in which the political leadership tried to define political goals before the war and in the opening days of the fighting, something that did not occur in most of Israel’s wars. This attempt was unsuccessful, however. What appeared to be the political goals changed in the course 50 I Giora Romm of the fighting, at least judging by speeches made by the senior political leadership during the conflict.

    Samuel Neaman Eretz Israel from Inside and Out Samuel Neaman Reflections In this book, the author Samuel (Sam) Neaman illustrates a part of his life story that lasted over more that three decades during the 20th century - in Eretz Israel, France, Syria, in WWII battlefronts, in Great Britain,the U.S., Canada, Mexico and in South American states. This is a life story told by the person himself and is being read with bated breath, sometimes hard to believe but nevertheless utterly true. Neaman was born in 1913, but most of his life he spent outside the country and the state he was born in ERETZ and for which he fought and which he served faithfully for many years. Therefore, his point of view is from both outside and inside and apart from • the love he expresses towards the country, he also criticizes what is going ERETZ ISRAELFROMINSIDEANDOUT here. In Israel the author is well known for the reknowned Samuel Neaman ISRAEL Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology which is located at the Technion in Haifa. This institute was established by Neaman and he was directly and personally involved in all its management until he passed away a few years ago. Samuel Neaman did much for Israel’s security and FROM as a token of appreciation, all IDF’s chiefs of staff have signed a a megila. Among the signers of the megila there were: Ig’al Yadin, Mordechai Mak- lef, Moshe Dayan, Haim Laskov, Zvi Zur, Izhak Rabin, Haim Bar-Lev, David INSIDE El’arar, and Mordechai Gur.

The Hashomer Hatzair Antwerp (1920-1948) Janiv Stamberger Promotor: Prof. Dr. R. Van Doorslaer Acknowledgements There are lots of people without whose help and support this thesis could not possibly have been written and while each of them should be accorded a bit of space or a kind line I have had to restrict myself to a select group of people. I express my sincere apologies to the people I forgot to mention, but I rest assured that they know that no spite or harm was intended and that they know that their help and assistance was and is warmly appreciated. First and foremost I would like to thank my promoter Prof. Doc. Rudi Van Doorslaer who first introduced me to this wonderful subject and whose patient guidance and advice helped shape the contents and outline of this thesis. I also would like to thank Pascale Falek and Gertjan Desmet for their help in introducing me to the various archives in Belgium where information regarding the movement is kept. In Israel I would like to thank the staff of Yad Ya’ari in Givat Haviva for their kind help and the wonderful soup that was each time offered to me kindly. I would also like to thank Daniela of the Moreshet archive, also in Givat Haviva, for her help. In Jerusalem I would like to thank the staff of the Central Zionist Archives and the staff of the Hebrew University Oral History department.

    STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY COMPREHENDING THE HOLY LAND August 31 to September 13, 2012 a program of the stanford alumni association STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY Perhaps nowhere else in the world does the confluence of history, religion and politics hold more significance than in Israel, a country whose geographic position has placed it at the intersection of Eastern and Western civilizations and at the crux of the debate on the future of the Middle East. It is home to some of the most sacred sites of three of the world’s great religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Join Jewish studies professor Steven Weitzman on a special journey to this holy land, where we seek to understand Israel through the ages, exploring its magnificent landscape and stunning archaeological sites and getting to know its people from all walks of life. I hope you can join us. Brett S.
