  • Retail Prices in a City*
    Retail Prices in a City Alon Eizenberg Saul Lach The Hebrew University and CEPR The Hebrew University and CEPR Merav Yiftach Israel Central Bureau of Statistics July 2017 Abstract We study grocery price differentials across neighborhoods in a large metropolitan area (the city of Jerusalem, Israel). Prices in commercial areas are persistently lower than in residential neighborhoods. We also observe substantial price variation within residential neighborhoods: retailers that operate in peripheral, non-a­ uent neighborhoods charge some of the highest prices in the city. Using CPI data on prices and neighborhood-level credit card data on expenditure patterns, we estimate a model in which households choose where to shop and how many units of a composite good to purchase. The data and the estimates are consistent with very strong spatial segmentation. Combined with a pricing equation, the demand estimates are used to simulate interventions aimed at reducing the cost of grocery shopping. We calculate the impact on the prices charged in each neighborhood and on the expected price paid by its residents - a weighted average of the prices paid at each destination, with the weights being the probabilities of shopping at each destination. Focusing on prices alone provides an incomplete picture and may even be misleading because shopping patterns change considerably. Specifically, we find that interventions that make the commercial areas more attractive and accessible yield only minor price reductions, yet expected prices decrease in a pronounced fashion. The benefits are particularly strong for residents of the peripheral, non-a­ uent neighborhoods. We thank Eyal Meharian and Irit Mishali for their invaluable help with collecting the price data and with the provision of the geographic (distance) data.

  • Art Deco : a Mode of Mobility
    Épine 0,5788 po. – 320 p. – 140 M Prix 9 PHYLLIS-LAMBERT atrimoine urbain atrimoine urbain Prize 2011 his book argues that mobility is the central theme of the interwar mode of design known today as Art Deco. It is present on the very surfaces of Art Deco objects and architecture – in iconography and general formal qualities (whether the zigzag rectilinear forms WINDOVER MICHAEL popular in the 1920s or curvilinear streamlining of the 1930s). By focussing on mobility as a means of tying the seemingly disparate quali- ties of Art Deco together, Michael Windover shows how the surface-level expressions correspond as well with underpinning systems of mobility, including those associated with migration, transportation, commodity exchange, capital, and communication. Journeying across the globe – from a skyscraper in Vancouv er, B.C., to a department store in Los Angeles, and from super-cinemas in Bombay (Mumbai) to radio cabinets in Canadian living rooms – this richly illustrated book examines the reach of Art Deco as it affected public cultures. Windover’s innovative perspective exposes some of the socio- political consequences of this “mode of mobility” and offers some reasons as to how and why Art Deco was incorporated into everyday lifestyles around the world. MICHAEL WINDOVER, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the School for Studies in Art & Culture at Carleton University in Ottawa where he teaches in the History and Theory of Architecture Program. His research interests focus on modern visual and material culture, especially designed Michael environments in the twentieth century. Windover Foreword by A MODE OF MOBILITY .

  • ISRAEL Israel Is a Multiparty Parliamentary Democracy with A
    ISRAEL Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy with a population of approximately 7.7 million, including Israelis living in the occupied territories. Israel has no constitution, although a series of "Basic Laws" enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a "State of Emergency," which has been in effect since 1948. The 120-member, unicameral Knesset has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. The February 2009 elections for the Knesset were considered free and fair. They resulted in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli security forces reported to civilian authorities. (An annex to this report covers human rights in the occupied territories. This report deals with human rights in Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.) Principal human rights problems were institutional, legal, and societal discrimination against Arab citizens, Palestinian residents of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (see annex), non-Orthodox Jews, and other religious groups; societal discrimination against persons with disabilities; and societal discrimination and domestic violence against women, particularly in Bedouin society. While trafficking in persons for the purpose of prostitution decreased in recent years, trafficking for the purpose of labor remained a serious problem, as did abuse of foreign workers and societal discrimination and incitement against asylum seekers. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life The government or its agents did not commit politically motivated killings. The petitioners withdrew their appeal to the High Court against the closure of the inquiry by the Department for Investigations against Police Officers' (DIPO) into the 2008 beating and subsequent coma and death of Sabri al-Jarjawi, a Bedouin.

General Moshe Doyan, at microphone, delivered the principal address. A Word of introduction The relatively short period between our 69th National Convention held late last October and the present one in July was dominated by the mounting economic recession in Israel, climaxed by tense weeks of military crisis and the outbreak of the Arab-Israel war in June. Pursuit of the usual ZOA programs became subject to changes and adjust- ments. In the latter part of the season our activities took on more and more of an emergency character as our National Organization and its local Districts, in common with Zionists everywhere, rose to the mortal challenge to Israel's life and future. The ZOA undertook manifold actions in the rising crisis, both in independent initiatives and in many instances as the spearhead in joint moves with other Jewish organizations. These have been reported in some detail, in timely leader- ship bulletins and in our publications. It was unavoidable that such developments should affect our overall pro- grams, both here and in Israel, threatening cancellation of our Convention. The victory of Israel's forces has brought in its wake the restoration of travel and allowed resumption of interrupted plans for our 70th Jubilee Convention. The reports on the following pages have been prepared under the impact of the epic achievement of Israeli arms shadowed by the peace-making task ahead with all its uncertainties and menaces.

The existing literature on the movement has been dominated by a reductionist and redemptive narrative emphasising the children’s survival, minimising their less positive experiences and outcomes and erasing the parents from the story.

  • The Visual Arts Program at Klezkanada – Program Origins and Trajectory Emily Socolov – Program Coordinator March 2, 2016
    The Visual Arts Program at KlezKanada – Program Origins and Trajectory Emily Socolov – Program Coordinator March 2, 2016 As a visual artist, folklorist and frequent attendee of Jewish arts programs like KlezKamp and KlezKanada, I became concerned with the lack of innovative programming in the area of the visual arts. While there is great exploration and innovation in the areas of music and dance (to a lesser degree), the offerings in Jewish visual arts were much reduced. Course offerings were generally limited to techniques like papercutting and calligraphy. While I appreciate the “traditionality” of these genres, they also demand a great deal of precision and eye-hand coordination that is not always available to the casual student. Thirteen summers ago, I offered the leaders of KlezKanada an innovative program on Jewish/Yiddish material culture in collaboration with other summer faculty, especially Tine Kindermann, and KlezKanada fellows. The visual arts program has been popular with KlezKanada attendees. The art room is a place where the non-musical (who may be accompanying a musical participant) find refuge and a place where the musical may find diversion. As it has gained in recognition, there are some individuals even come to camp specifically for the visual arts. The program prides itself on collaborating with other faculty, especially theater and the kids program; working on decorations and costuming for the large dance party and camp-wide memorials; and contributing to fundraising for the scholarship program. What follows is a brief description of each year’s visual arts program taken from past KlezKanada program booklets since the program’s inception in 2003.
