    THE TEMPLE A Monthly Newsletter of The Temple -Tifereth Israel Beachwood, Ohio November 2017 THE TEMPLE Cheshvan /Kislev 5778 times TIFERETHISRAEL JOIN US FOR FEATURED FRIDAY WITH PROFESSOR JOHN GRABOWSKI, CWRU Friday, November 10 at The Temple 6 PM - Kabbalat Shabbat Service • 7 PM - Shabbat Dinner • 8 PM - Program Who Should Enter the Golden Door? An Immigration Policy in Historical Perspective The current political arguments about American immigration policy are the most recent manifestation of a debate about who should be admitted to the United States. It is a discussion, arguably based on the questions: what are America’s values and what is an “American”? For more than two centuries that discussion has been juxtaposed between idealism and an economic pragmatism often tinged by xenophobia. This presentation traces that debate from the eighteenth cen- tury to the present within the context of changing immigration patterns during that time. Professor Grabowski’s interests and research span the fields of public and academic history. He specializes in the areas of immigration and ethnicity; local (Cleveland) urban history; and public history, particularly the fields of archives and museums. He is the Krieger-Mueller Associate Professor of Applied History at Case Western Reserve University and the Krieger-Mueller Historian and Senior Vice President for Research and Publications at the Western Reserve Historical Society. Sponsored by the Diann G & Thomas A Mann Lecture Fund A 7:00 PM Shabbat Dinner will precede the program.

How much defense is enough in the post–Cold War era?”1 Finding a satisfactory answer to these deceptively simple questions not only motivated the Bottom-Up Review but has arguably animated defense strategy for the past quarter century.

  • Trump's Generals
    STRATEGIC STUDIES QUARTERLY - PERSPECTIVE Trump’s Generals: A Natural Experiment in Civil-Military Relations JAMES JOYNER Abstract President Donald Trump’s filling of numerous top policy positions with active and retired officers he called “my generals” generated fears of mili- tarization of foreign policy, loss of civilian control of the military, and politicization of the military—yet also hope that they might restrain his worst impulses. Because the generals were all gone by the halfway mark of his administration, we have a natural experiment that allows us to com- pare a Trump presidency with and without retired generals serving as “adults in the room.” None of the dire predictions turned out to be quite true. While Trump repeatedly flirted with civil- military crises, they were not significantly amplified or deterred by the presence of retired generals in key roles. Further, the pattern continued in the second half of the ad- ministration when “true” civilians filled these billets. Whether longer-term damage was done, however, remains unresolved. ***** he presidency of Donald Trump served as a natural experiment, testing many of the long- debated precepts of the civil-military relations (CMR) literature. His postelection interviewing of Tmore than a half dozen recently retired four- star officers for senior posts in his administration unleashed a torrent of columns pointing to the dangers of further militarization of US foreign policy and damage to the military as a nonpartisan institution. At the same time, many argued that these men were uniquely qualified to rein in Trump’s worst pro- clivities. With Trump’s tenure over, we can begin to evaluate these claims.
