Please accept my thanks for the wonderful cooperation you gave us in arranging Nathan Laufer's program. It was a great success. 2 . Now I am coming over with a member of my staff, for the purpose of arranging our Summer Institute in July 1990. We will bring about 250 persons. Thank you for the appointments you have made so far.

Scopus campus and show me classroom v facilities. This would be for July 1990. I will need about 15 rooms. Perhaps you can find out from the Public Relations Department who can take me around. Another possibility is to ask Avraham Harman, the Chancellor, or Simcha Dinitz to make a suggestion. Both men are old friends of mine. Make the appointment any time you can, according to my schedule, which you are controlling. b) I need one day with a guide and car to familiarize myself with all the new things in Jerusalem.

Amira Margalit 5 Fichman Street Ramat Aviv Tel Aviv 69027 Israel Dear Amira: I am sorry to report that Mr. Wexner has - decided not to have a Summer Institute 1990 i n Israel, but instead to have it in the U. S. His decision is based on the following reasons: 1. All our students come t o Israel anyhow on UJA mi ssions or syn(lgogue tours, etc. 2 . It is a waste t o spend so much time on travel for the sake of getting 6 days of study time. 3. There is not ~ proper conference center in Israel, and all the technical arrangements are based on compromise. Nathan and I tried very hard to convince him, but we did not succeed. He said he will be in Israel for 2- 3 days at the end of January 1990, and will look at the classrooms in The Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem. If they look O.K., then he will reconsider the possibility for a Sununer Institute in July 1991. This brings us to the question of money you are holding. Please take for yourself 1000 shekels for the month of October, and that finishes your honorarium. Keep the balance (8,000 shekels) in the bank. We will use it to buy plane tickets for speakers we will bring from Israel to U.S. Whenever we decide to bring someone, we will ask you to give the necessary amount to that person. I t is a pleasure working with you, and even though we have an interruption now, I ' m sure we will be working together again - if not on a Summer Institute, then on Nathan's next period of hishtalaut.

Stable URL: http://h-diplo.org/FRUS/PDF/FRUS9.pdf Review by William B. Quandt, University of Virginia he FRUS volume on the Arab-Israeli October 1973 war weighs in at a hefty 1200 pages and contains some 425 documents. The searchable PDF version is available T at: http://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76v25 . Anyone already familiar with the extensive literature on this crisis – Henry Kissinger’s voluminous memoirs and his book entitled Crisis (Simon and Schuster, 2004), my own Peace Process: American Diplomacy and the Arab-Israeli Crisis Since 1967 (Brookings, 2005, Third edition), and Alistair Horne’s recent Kissinger (Simon and Schuster, 2009), among many others – will know the main lines of the story and the current volume will primarily add nuance and texture. There are no bombshells here, nothing truly astonishing, although some of the documents are new and genuinely fascinating for what they show, especially about the relationship between President Richard Nixon and his colorful National Security Adviser- cum-Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

  • The Status of Jaffa in the First Century of the Current Era
    The Status of Jaffa in the First Century of the Current Era S. Applebaum A group of three Greek inscriptions recently published by Dr. Ya’akov Kaplan1 raises a number of questions relating to the status and history of Jaffa in the earlier period of the Roman Empire. The three inscriptions are nominally uniform, but were written in very careless lettering, two of them certainly by a semiliterate, being mere test sketches on moulds in which inscribed weights were to be cast. No. 2, however, was sufficiently clear to enable the text to be read, and to show that all three reflected one formula.2 The main point is that each ends with the name and function of a Jewish official — Judah the agoranomos, son of Zozomus (?). Not less important are the two signs opening the common formula; each of these represents the well-known sign Ἔ’, which stands for ‘Year’ in numerous Greek inscriptions,3 and is invariably followed by a figure. On inscription No. 2 this is Θ, i.e. year 9; No. 7 is a botched version of the same date; Θ is here represented by ‘O’. The figure on No. 3, on the other hand, is Δ , i.e. year 4. As the inscriptions begin with the name of the emperor Trajan, the years concerned are the fourth and ninth of his reign, i.e. 101/2 and 106/7. Dr. Kaplan has drawn my attention to the horizontal line or bar above the Ἔ’ sign, and, in his opinion, connected with it, as it commences the first line of the second inscription, numbered by him as ‘2’ (Plate 68, No.

  • Camp David's Shadow
    Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Seth Anziska All rights reserved ABSTRACT Camp David’s Shadow: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinian Question, 1977-1993 Seth Anziska This dissertation examines the emergence of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the consequences for Israel, the Palestinians, and the wider Middle East. Utilizing archival sources and oral history interviews from across Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Camp David’s Shadow recasts the early history of the peace process. It explains how a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict with provisions for a resolution of the Palestinian question gave way to the facilitation of bilateral peace between Egypt and Israel. As recently declassified sources reveal, the completion of the Camp David Accords—via intensive American efforts— actually enabled Israeli expansion across the Green Line, undermining the possibility of Palestinian sovereignty in the occupied territories. By examining how both the concept and diplomatic practice of autonomy were utilized to address the Palestinian question, and the implications of the subsequent Israeli and U.S. military intervention in Lebanon, the dissertation explains how and why the Camp David process and its aftermath adversely shaped the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Israelis and Palestinians in the 1990s. In linking the developments of the late 1970s and 1980s with the Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords in the decade that followed, the dissertation charts the role played by American, Middle Eastern, international, and domestic actors in curtailing the possibility of Palestinian self-determination.

In the modern period, many and diverse explanations of Herod‘s actions have been put forward, but previous approaches have often been hamstrung by inadequate and disproportionate use of either form of evidence. My analysis incorporates both forms while still keeping important criticisms of both in mind. Both forms of evidence, archaeological and historical, have biases, and it is important to consider their nuances and limitations as well as the information they offer. In the first chapter, I describe the most important previous approaches to the person of Herod and evaluate both the theoretical paradigms as well as the methodologies which governed them.
