The symposium’s title was, "Jewish Educational Tourism: Multiple Origins, Paths and Destinations." This special Issue of Hagira brings together a variety of research papers – some of which were originally presented at the Oranim Symposium – written by academics involved in the study of the broad range of Jewish heritage-educational tourism in various locations, but primarily in Israel. These locations enable the encounter ('mifgash') between young Jews from various origins and cultures in the context of heritage educational tourism, which may impact their Jewish identity and help construct their Jewish peoplehood. Global tourism has yielded a large variety of tourism forms. One of them, heritage tourism, has often been simply regarded as the visit of tourists to places of historical or cultural importance. Heritage tourism is defined by the background and motives of the tourists and does not inhere in the sites alone. It is not the place of the visit

  • Jewish Behavior During the Holocaust
    VICTIMS’ POLITICS: JEWISH BEHAVIOR DURING THE HOLOCAUST by Evgeny Finkel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–MADISON 2012 Date of final oral examination: 07/12/12 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Yoshiko M. Herrera, Associate Professor, Political Science Scott G. Gehlbach, Professor, Political Science Andrew Kydd, Associate Professor, Political Science Nadav G. Shelef, Assistant Professor, Political Science Scott Straus, Professor, International Studies © Copyright by Evgeny Finkel 2012 All Rights Reserved i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation could not have been written without the encouragement, support and help of many people to whom I am grateful and feel intellectually, personally, and emotionally indebted. Throughout the whole period of my graduate studies Yoshiko Herrera has been the advisor most comparativists can only dream of. Her endless enthusiasm for this project, razor- sharp comments, constant encouragement to think broadly, theoretically, and not to fear uncharted grounds were exactly what I needed. Nadav Shelef has been extremely generous with his time, support, advice, and encouragement since my first day in graduate school. I always knew that a couple of hours after I sent him a chapter, there would be a detailed, careful, thoughtful, constructive, and critical (when needed) reaction to it waiting in my inbox. This awareness has made the process of writing a dissertation much less frustrating then it could have been. In the future, if I am able to do for my students even a half of what Nadav has done for me, I will consider myself an excellent teacher and mentor.

  • Tisha Beav EN 3
    MARCO 1: TISHA B ’AV Batnua DEFINITION AND CONTEXT Tisha B’Av (the ninth of Av) is the day of the Hebrew calendar that observes the worst tragedies that our people 10€ have experienced throughout our history. Among the events that are commemorated on this date are God’s sentence upon the generation of Israelites who left Egypt to wander in the desert for forty years before being given access to the Land of Israel, the destruction of the First Temple (586 BCE), the destruction of the Second Temple (70 CE), the Fall of the Fortress of Betar in the times of Bar Kochva (135 CE), and the edict of expulsion of the Jews from Spain (1492 CE), among others. It is worth mentioning that these events led to the perishing of millions of Jews who lost their lives for the mere fact of being Jewish; we also remember them this day. DID YOU KNOW? • In the kenim of Hanoar Hatzioni, three anthems are usually sung: “Anu Olim”, “Kadima Hanoar” and Hatikvah. In all three cases we can find the close connection between the exile that our people have suffered (as a result of the destruction of the Temples), its cruel consequences for the Jews throughout the world and our profound vision as a movement to educate our chaverim to return to our Land, Israel, to live a Jewish life as a norm. התקווה קדימה הנוער אנו עולים כל עוד בלבב פנימה קדימה הנוער, קדימה הנוער אנו עולים ושרים נפש יהודי הומייה לעליה להתישבות על חרבות ופגרים ולפאתי מזרח קדימה תכלת לבן הוא דגלנו אנו פוסעים ועוברים עין לציון צופיה.

  • Affect and Cultural Change: the Rise of Popular Zionism in the British Jewish Community After the Six Day War (1967)
    AFFECT AND CULTURAL CHANGE: THE RISE OF POPULAR ZIONISM IN THE BRITISH JEWISH COMMUNITY AFTER THE SIX DAY WAR (1967) JAMIE HAKIM A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2012 Abstract In current Jewish Studies scholarship there is a broad consensus that the Arab-Israeli war of June 1967 caused both an intense emotional response in Britain’s Jewish community and a change in the relationship this community had with the State of Israel. What this scholarship has yet to provide is either a detailed account of the ways that the June 1967 war impacted on this community or a sustained theorisation of how the intensity generated by a world-historical event might bring about change. This thesis attempts to address these gaps by interviewing twelve British Jews who lived through their community’s response to the war and supplement this data with original archival research, adding detail that is currently missing from the historical record. It then interprets this data using a cultural studies approach grounded, primarily, in the thought of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. In using this approach this thesis reveals that it was the intense affectivity generated by the Zionist representation of the war as the ‘Six Day War’ that caused the community to change in the post-1967 conjuncture. It then identifies these changes as cultural – occurring on the planes of identity, representation, everyday life, cultural practice and, most crucially, affectivity. In revealing the centrality of affect in the impact of the war on the British Jewish community, this thesis argues that the hegemonic form of Zionism that emerges within that community after 1967 is ‘Popular Zionism’, defined as an intensely charged affective disposition towards the State of Israel that is lived out in the cultural identities, everyday lives and cultural practices of British Jews.

    http://collections.ushmm.org Contact [email protected] for further information about this collection RG-50.120*090 Lichtenberg, Uziel Tape 1 of 5 1.01 Born in February 1916. Grandfather was a teacher in the village of Zoromin ???, north-central Poland on the border of Eastern Prussia. There were 6,000 inhabitants, half of them Jewish. Main occupation: smuggling, tobacco mainly, through the border. Also, in jobs for the farmers who visited the town. Some Jews were very well-off by exporting wood to England. Grandfather was born in Bendin and brought to the village by the Bloomenzweig famly to marry their daughter. The Bloomenzweigs were Hassidim and the condition of marriage was that the grandfather would never work, but study. His wife had a store and she sustained the family. They were Gur Hassidim and grandfather traveled to the rabbi in Gur several times a year. Grandmother died young and the sons took over the business. 4.54 Grandfather looked for a match for his eldest daughter, a highly intelligent Jew as himself and found him in Lublin – 1,000 km away. 5.23 Uziel’s father did not fulfill his obligation to devote himself to studying Torah only, and soon enough began his commercial undertaking with great success. In addition to his job exporting wood, he rented out houses in Danzig and Warsaw. He was also an active community activist and at age 28 he became the head of his community. He was also active in the Mizrahi religious movement. At the end of the First World War, he was chosen for the municipality of his town.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles History in the Public Courtroom: Commissions of Inquiry and Struggles over the History and Memory of Israeli Traumas A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History by Nadav Gadi Molchadsky 2015 © Copyright by Nadav Gadi Molchadsky 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION History in the Public Courtroom: Commissions of Inquiry and Struggles over the History and Memory of Israeli Traumas by Nadav Gadi Molchadsky Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor David N. Myers, Co-Chair Professor Arieh B. Saposnik, Co-Chair This study seeks to shed new light on the complex web of relations among history, historiography and contemporary life. It does so by focusing on Israeli commissions of inquiry that have taken rise in the wake of major national traumas such as failed battles in the 1948 War, the Yom Kippur War, and the assassination of the Zionist leader Chaim Arlosoroff. Each one of these landmark events in the history of Israel was investigated by a state or a military commission of inquiry, whose members and audience operate as authors of history and agents of memory. The study suggests that commissions of inquiry, which have been studied to date primarily as legal, administrative, and political bodies, in fact also operate as a public historian of a unique kind. In this capacity, and unlike a professional historian, commissions are by definition expected not to refrain from making ethical and legal judgments. On the contrary, judgment is, in the final analysis, ii the underpinning motivation for their historical inquiry.
