All students must take at least 1 Hebrew language course and 1 Jewish Studies or Israeli Studies course each semester Important Notes: • Courses below may not be available each term. These courses have been offered in the past. The articulations below indicate the IU-Bloomington equivalent credit. • The Hebrew University of Jerusalem also has some courses taught in English. Students are able to select from these courses as well. Students participating on the fall-only program, however, will not be able to take courses directly at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, since these courses do not finish on time for students to return to IU for the spring semester. • Undistributed 100-level (-OS 100) courses have not yet been evaluated by an IUB department. Courses with a DEPT–OS 100 equivalent will be applied towards overall credits to graduate. However, students may submit the course materials to that department to be evaluated for specific credit either before or after studying abroad. • If a course is listed as OS200/300/400, the course has been evaluated by the academic department. Be in touch with the academic department to determine how course may fulfill degree requirements. • Some courses may carry pre-requisites; be sure to check the program’s site to determine eligibility. • Ulpan: AY students are enrolled in Ulpan during the 2nd summer session at IU. This is also where the credits for Ulpan will show up on your transcript. o Note: Academic year students do NOT have to repeat Ulpan during spring term. Instead, they will be required to enroll in an additional 3-credit course to maintain a 15-credit minimum per term. • In some cases, IU may award a different number of credits than suggested by HUJ for a course taken in Jerusalem. This is to comply with university restrictions on the maximum number of credits that may be earned in a semester.

On the oppressed state of the Jewish woman (between Ashkenaz and Sefarad) by Shmuel Refael Zusammenfassung Kotzo shel yod von Y. L.

  • The Idea of Israel: a History of Power and Knowledge,By Ilan Pappé
    Recent Books The Idea of Israel: A History of Power and Knowledge,by Ilan Pappé. London and New York: Verso, 2014. 335 pages. Further Reading and Index to p. 346. $26.95 hardcover. REVIEWED BY GILBERT ACHCAR Ilan Pappé is well known to the readers of this journal as a prolific author of Palestine studies and one of the Israeli intellectuals who engaged most radically in the deconstruction and refutation of the Zionist narrative on Palestine. This book is primarily an incursion, by Pappé, into Israel studies: it is a work not directly about Palestine, but rather about Israel. More precisely, it is about the battle over “the idea of Israel” (i.e., the representation of the Zionist state that prevails in Israel and the challenge Israeli intellectuals pose to that representation). In many ways, Pappé’s new book is a continuation and expansion of his autobiographic Out of the Frame: The Struggle for Academic Freedom in Israel (2010), in which he describes his personal trajectory. In his new book, he provides the wider picture: the historical, intellectual, and political context that led to the emergence, rise to fame, and dwindling of the group of New Historians and “post- Zionist” figures of the Israeli academic and cultural scenes, of which Pappé was and remains a prominent member. The Idea of Israel starts by setting the backdrop to this development. In a short first part, Pappé sketches the main contours of the academic and fictional representation of Israel that complemented official Zionist ideology during the state’s first decades. The second part of the book, entitled “Israel’s Post-Zionist Moment,” constitutes its core.

  • Israeli Historiograhy's Treatment of The
    Yechiam Weitz Dialectical versus Unequivocal Israeli Historiography’s Treatment of the Yishuv and Zionist Movement Attitudes toward the Holocaust In November 1994, I helped organize a conference called “Vision and Revision.” Its subject was to be “One Hundred Years of Zionist Histo- riography,”1 but in fact it focused on the stormy debate between Zionists and post-Zionists or Old and New Historians, a theme that pervaded Is- rael’s public and academic discourse at the time. The discussion revolved around a number of topics and issues, such as the birth of the Arab refugee question in the War of Independence and matters concerning the war itself. Another key element of the controversy involved the attitude of the Yishuv (the Jewish community in prestate Israel) and the Zionist move- ment toward the Holocaust. There were several parts to the question: what was the goal of the Yishuv and the Zionist leadership—to save the Jews who were perishing in smoldering Europe or to save Zionism? What was more important to Zionism—to add a new cowshed at Kib- butz ‘Ein Harod and purchase another dunam of land in the Negev or Galilee or the desperate attempt to douse the European inferno with a cup of water? What, in those bleak times, motivated the head of the or- ganized Yishuv, David Ben-Gurion: “Palestinocentrism,” and perhaps even loathing for diaspora Jewry, or the agonizing considerations of a leader in a period of crisis unprecedented in human history? These questions were not confined to World War II and the destruc- tion of European Jewry (1939–45) but extended back to the 1930s and forward to the postwar years.

  • Down with Britain, Away with Zionism: the 'Canaanites'
    DOWN WITH BRITAIN, AWAY WITH ZIONISM: THE ‘CANAANITES’ AND ‘LOHAMEY HERUT ISRAEL’ BETWEEN TWO ADVERSARIES Roman Vater* ABSTRACT: The imposition of the British Mandate over Palestine in 1922 put the Zionist leadership between a rock and a hard place, between its declared allegiance to the idea of Jewish sovereignty and the necessity of cooperation with a foreign ruler. Eventually, both Labour and Revisionist Zionism accommodated themselves to the new situation and chose a strategic partnership with the British Empire. However, dissident opinions within the Revisionist movement were voiced by a group known as the Maximalist Revisionists from the early 1930s. This article analyzes the intellectual and political development of two Maximalist Revisionists – Yonatan Ratosh and Israel Eldad – tracing their gradual shift to anti-Zionist positions. Some questions raised include: when does opposition to Zionist politics transform into opposition to Zionist ideology, and what are the implications of such a transition for the Israeli political scene after 1948? Introduction The standard narrative of Israel’s journey to independence goes generally as follows: when the British military rule in Palestine was replaced in 1922 with a Mandate of which the purpose was to implement the 1917 Balfour Declaration promising support for a Jewish ‘national home’, the Jewish Yishuv in Palestine gained a powerful protector. In consequence, Zionist politics underwent a serious shift when both the leftist Labour camp, led by David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), and the rightist Revisionist camp, led by Zeev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky (1880-1940), threw in their lot with Britain. The idea of the ‘covenant between the Empire and the Hebrew state’1 became a paradigm for both camps, which (temporarily) replaced their demand for a Jewish state with the long-term prospect of bringing the Yishuv to qualitative and quantitative supremacy over the Palestinian Arabs under the wings of the British Empire.
