Many of the sources posed problems concerning numerical data on immi­ gration, especially for the months leading up to the end of the British Mandate, January-April 1948, and the first few months of the state, May­ August 1948. The researchers point out that 7,574 immigrant data cards are missing from the records and believe this to be due to the 'circumstances of the times'. Records are complete from September 1948 onward, and an important population census was held in November 1948. A parallel record­ ing system conducted by the Jewish Agency, which continued to operate after that of the Mandatory Government, provided us with statistical data for immigration during 1948-9 and made it possible to analyse the part taken by the Holocaust survivors.

  • Moses Mendelssohn and the Jewish Historical Clock Disruptive Forces in Judaism of the 18Th Century by Chronologies of Rabbi Families
    Moses Mendelssohn and The Jewish Historical Clock Disruptive Forces in Judaism of the 18th Century by Chronologies of Rabbi Families To be given at the Conference of Jewish Genealogy in London 2001 By Michael Honey I have drawn nine diagrams by the method I call The Jewish Historical Clock. The genealogy of the Mendelssohn family is the tenth. I drew this specifically for this conference and talk. The diagram illustrates the intertwining of relationships of Rabbi families over the last 600 years. My own family genealogy is also illustrated. It is centred around the publishing of a Hebrew book 'Megale Amukot al Hatora' which was published in Lvov in 1795. The work of editing this book was done from a library in Brody of R. Efraim Zalman Margaliot. The book has ten testimonials and most of these Rabbis are shown with a green background for ease of identification. The Megale Amukot or Rabbi Nathan Nata Shpiro with his direct descendants in the 17th century are also highlighted with green backgrounds. The numbers shown in the yellow band are the estimated years when the individuals in that generation were born. For those who have not seen the diagrams of The Jewish Historical Clock before, let me briefly explain what they are. The Jewish Historical Clock is a system for drawing family trees ow e-drmanfly 1 I will describe to you the linkage of the Mendelssohn family branch to the network of orthodox rabbis. Moses Mendelssohn 1729-1786 was in his time the greatest Jewish philosopher. He was one of the first Jews to write in a modern language, German and thus opened the doors to Jewish emancipation so desired by the Jewish masses.

  • Rabbinical Genealogy: Sources at the Center for Jewish History Introduction Many People Have an Ancestor Who Was a Rabbi, Or Who They Believe Was a Rabbi
    Courtesy of the Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute July 2007 Rabbinical Genealogy: Sources at the Center for Jewish History Introduction Many people have an ancestor who was a rabbi, or who they believe was a rabbi. Because Judaism is decentralized, with many yeshivot, rabbinical schools, denominations and leaders, there is no one repository for the personal papers of rabbis or biographical information about them. Further, a learned ancestor may have been called “rabbi” or may be remembered as such, even if he did not lead a congregation or possess a degree from a rabbinical school. The Center for Jewish History partners—American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum, and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research—hold the personal papers of many rabbis. These collections can be identified by using CJH’s online catalog at http://catalog.cjh.org. The sources below contain biographical information; for congregational records, see our Synagogue Records fact sheet. Genealogy Institute American Jewish Yearbook 5668 (1907­1908) (Jewish Publication Society of America, 1907).

  • Today Is the Day. I Keep Repeating That Phrase in My Head Like I Don't Know
    Today is the day. I keep repeating that phrase in my head like I don't know any other way to communicate my excitement. And really, I don't. I have wanted to travel to the Middle East for so long that it is completely surreal. Today is the day… (Still cannot believe it!) Now, for a little about myself... I’m Lindsay Cooper and I am a student at the University of South Carolina (Go Cocks!). I am currently a junior, and I am majoring International Studies and minoring in Arabic. My hope is that through this blog, each reader will learn not only about Israel and Palestine, but about me. I have always been fascinated with the Middle East. It’s history, culture, and beauty drew me in like a moth to flame. As I have studied the region more I have truly begun to learn how diverse and incredible it truly is. Humanity LITERALLY started there, and enough culture is engrained in it’s history that one could spend an entire lifetime studying it and still die with much left to learn. My goal over the coming weeks is to take a small ant-sized bite out of the very large apple which is the Middle East. I am currently sitting on a plane flying over The Chesapeake Bay on my way to my connection in Newark, NJ—which I learned is pronounced “Noork” not “New-ork”(oops!). Tomorrow morning, I will arrive in Tel Aviv, Israel to take a 1.5-hour bus ride to Nahalal, Israel study at the Galilee International Management Institute (GIMI) in a course on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.

  • A Small Youth Movement in a Sea of History. the Hashomer Hatzair Antwerp (1920-1948)
    Master thesis History Department University of Ghent 2012-2013 Be Strong and Brave! A small youth movement in a sea of history. 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.
