  • Introduction 1 Mourning Newspapers: Holocaust Commemoration And/ As
    Notes Introduction 1. All translations were made by the authors. 2. We do not expand on the discussion of the origins of the word and its rela- tionship with other words, although others have written about it extensively. For example, Tal (1979) wrote an etymological analysis of the word in order to clarify its meaning in relation to the concept of genocide; Ofer (1996b) focused on the process by which the term ‘Shoah’ was adopted in British Mandate Palestine and Israel between 1942 and 1953, and explored its mean- ing in relation to concepts such as ‘heroism’ and ‘resurrection’; and Schiffrin’s works (2001a and 2001b) compare the use of Holocaust-related terms in the cases of the annihilation of European Jewry and the imprisonment of American Japanese in internment camps during the Second World War. See also Alexander (2001), who investigated the growing widespread use of the term ‘Shoah’ among non-Hebrew-speakers. 1 Mourning Newspapers: Holocaust Commemoration and/ as Nation-Building 1. Parts of this chapter have appeared in Zandberg (2010). 2. The Kaddish is a prayer that is part of the daily prayers but it is especially identified with commemorative rituals and said by mourners after the death of close relatives. 3. The Mishnah is the collection (63 tractates) of the codification of the Jewish Oral Law, the Halacha. 4. Knesset Proceedings, First Knesset, Third Sitting, 12 April 1952, Vol. 9, p. 1656. 5. Knesset Proceedings, Second Knesset, Fifth and Ninth Sittings, 25 February 1952, Vol. 11, p. 1409. 6. The 9 of Av (Tish’a B’Av) is a day of fasting and prayers commemorating the destruction of both the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem and the subsequent exile of the Jews from the Land of Israel.

  • Siddur for Shabbat
    úáùì øåãéñ Siddur for Shabbat úáùì øåãéñ Siddur for Shabbat David Singer, Editor Berkeley Hillel 5763 2003 i ii Contents Preface iv On Usage v Shabbat Evening Service 1 Shabbat Morning Service 43 Havdalah 95 Supplementary Prayers 97 Songs 103 iii Preface This siddur was first created by the Reform minyan at UC Berkeley, California in the spring of 2003. In deciding to compile this siddur, students embarked on an ambitious process: how could they best combine over twenty distinct creative service packets into one inclusive and comprehensive siddur which would suit the needs of the Berkeley Reform Jewish community’s prayer in all circumstances for years to come? Further, the prayer service, while in need of energy and creativity, was also worthy of respect and in due need of a certain amount of structure which service packets could not provide. It is our hope that this siddur meets that need, and accordingly that it can and will be used for Erev and Shacharit Shabbat and Havdalah services as well as song sessions. Further, it is our hope that this siddur will help to meet the same need in other youth and young adult minyanim for years to come. We thank the many people who have helped to make this siddur a reality, especially to those who spent countless hours compiling and editing. To David Singer, Melissa Loeffler, Jill Cozen-Harel, Becky Gimbel, David Abraham and Athalia Markowitz special thanks are due. The original printing of this siddur would not be possible if not for the generous financial support provided by Temple Beth El of Berkeley, CA.

  • Broadcasting the Eichmann Trial: Radio and the Public Doing of Justice
    Broadcasting the Eichmann Trial: Radio and the Public Doing of Justice Much has been written about the historical, political and legal significance of the Eichmann trial. Much less has been written about the media aspect of the trial, and even less about the role of what was then the main broadcasting medium in Israel—the radio. Historians and laypeople alike attest to the centrality of radio during the days of the trial and to the impact of broadcasts from Beit Ha’am (the People’s Hall, the theatre venue chosen to hold the proceedings).1 The task taken by Kol Yisrael (Voice of Israel) radio station to mediate the trial to Israel and the world presented an exceptional technical and professional challenge. Yet the story of radio during the trial is not simply of professional accomplishment, making it of interest only to those invested in the profession. Rather, the untold story of radio in the Eichmann trial encompasses some of the most fundamental challenges and dilemmas that accompanied this unprecedented legal event. Looking into the preparations and the transmissions before, during and after the trial reveal a rich document on the process of doing justice in public. With many studies on the trial already in print, the 2 perspective taken here nevertheless leads to some new, and potentially important, revelations on the process and its perception in Israel. But perhaps more importantly, this perspective captures something of the public climate surrounding the trial, a climate which seems to have been more diverse than some historical accounts tend to portray. From the People’s Hall to the People’s Ears Preparations for the trial began shortly after Prime Minister Ben Gurion's announcement at the Knesset of Eichmann's kidnap on May 23 1960.

  • Linguistic Constraints on Intrasentential Code-Switching
    Lang. Soc. I5, 313-348. Printed in the United States of America Linguistic constraints on intrasentential code-switching: A study of Spanish/Hebrew bilingualism* SUSAN BERK-SELIGSON Department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of Pittsburgh ABSTRACT In recent years, researchhas increasinglypointed towardthe universalityof three linguistic constraintson code-switching: (i) an equivalence of struc- ture constraint,(2) a size-of-constituentconstraint, and (3) a free morpheme constraint.The evidence derived from this study challenges the universality of the first two of these constraints, and argues instead that their claim to universalityis largely a function of the coincidentalrelative similarityin the syntactic structureof Spanish and English, the two languages upon which most code-switching studies have been based. The present study breaksout of the Spanish-Englishmold and draws upon data from a language contact situation in which the two languages are syntactically very different from each other, namely, Spanish and Hebrew. The evidence presented also challenges the frequentlymade assertionthat type of code-switching, name- ly, intra-versus intersententialcode-switching, is correlatedwith degree of bilingualism of the speaker. Finally, the evidence suggests that intrasenten- tial code-switching ability cannot, as some have argued, universally be considereda measureof bilingualism nor a markof the balanced bilingual. (Code-switching, Spanish, Hebrew, bilingualism, syntactic constraints) THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Studies on code-switching have blossomed in recent years, the bulk of them concentratingon social and functionalfactors that operateto constrainit (Genishi I98I; Gumperz 1971, 1976; Gumperz & Hernandez-Chavez I975; Huerta- Marcias I981; McClure I98I; Valdes-Fallis 1976, 198I).I However, a growing numberof code-switching studies have dealt with the linguistic factors that come intoplay (Gingras 1974; Gumperz1976; Pfaff 1976, I 979; Poplack1980, 1981; Timm 1975; Wentz 1977; Zentella 198I).

APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Jon E. Mandaville I Dr. r:ia vid~ A. ' Horowitz Dr. Thomas M. P'oulsen The essay charts forty years of Zionist history to illuminate the ' remarkable evolution of Israel's unified, apolitical army and Israel's "democratic civil-military tradition," forged in the fires of opposing military styles, ideological rivalry, competing underground forces, war and civil war. During the years 1907-1919, the Yishuv acquired two different military traditions, the Pioneer-Soldier tradition and the Professional 2 tradition. During 1920-1931, the presence of the British Mandatory power and rising Arab Nationalist violence produced a third military tradition the "Underground," first developed by the early Hagana, woven into the fabric of the Socialist-Zionism.

    [Year] A Morphology of Cultural Transformation The Campaign to Save Israel’s Wildflower and its Spatial Impacts Meytal Eran-Jona and Roni Tiargan-Orr IDF BSC: Behavioral BennySciences FurstCenter, Israel Hebrew University of Jerusalem December 2015 September 2017 Research Paper 17 September 2017 The Gildenhorn Institute for Israel Studies (GIIS) is proud to publish Benny Furst’s analysis on saving Israel’s wildflowers. By making it available to English scholars of agriculture, sociological relations, and public opinion, we hope that its analysis and research will contribute to the awareness about Israeli culture. The GIIS is one of the largest and most active centers for the study of Israel in the United States today. Headed by Professor Yoram Peri, the Abraham S. and Jack Kay Chair in Israel Studies, the GIIS offers 15 courses each year to 500 students, which focuses on five different aspects of Israel: Israeli History, Society, Politics, Culture, and the Middle East Conflict. The GIIS also sponsors conferences, lectures, cultural events, and community forums. One of the important aspects of the GIIS is sponsoring, conducting, and publishing research on various aspects of Israel Studies. Our signature research project is Israel 2023, a series of three monographs that construct different possible scenarios for Israel as it approaches its 75th anniversary in three broad areas of major concern: Relations between Arab and Jewish Israelis, Israel’s Geo-strategic position, and Religion and State in Israel. The Institute also regularly publishes on its website both original research and translations of important articles that have already appeared in Hebrew.

  • 62 “Sing Us a Mawwal”: the Politics of Culture-Brokering Palestinian
    “Sing us a Mawwal”: 1 The Politics of Culture-Brokering Palestinian Israeli Musicians Galeet Dardashti Early one morning during the summer of 2003, I caught a ride to Nazareth from Tel Aviv with Moti,2 the producer of the “Culture of Peace” Festival. Moti was accompanying the Israeli pop singer Sigal3, a singer he managed at the time, for an audition with the Arab Orchestra of Nazareth, which he also managed. I had interviewed Moti on his work, producing performances of Arab music in Israel, and he invited me to come along for the day trip to Nazareth on condition that I only observe and not ask any questions until after the audition. He didn’t want to make Sigal nervous — she was nervous enough. “They know I’m not an Arab, right?” she asked as we drove along the way. “I’m sure that I might make some mistakes in the Arabic or something.” “Yes, they know,” said Moti. “I told them that you are my friend and that you are a well known singer among Israelis.” The Arab Orchestra of Nazareth4 is comprised almost exclusively of Palestinian Israeli5 male musicians from Nazareth. They work with a number of Palestinian Israeli singers, depending on the repertoire they are performing in Israel or abroad. Amidst the recent popularity of Arab and Middle Eastern-infused music in Israel, Sigal, a Jew of Iraqi and Moroccan background, had become interested in performing classical Arab music with the Orchestra, following the path of the more well known Moroccan- descended Jewish Israeli pop sensation Zehava Ben.

  • If a Person Makes a Vow to God, Or Takes on an Oath, This Person Must Not Break the Pledge
    What Pledge Have We Broken? A sermon on Parshat Mattot by Rabbi Susan Leider, Congregation Kol Shofar 7/19/14 If a person makes a vow to God, or takes on an oath, this person must not break the pledge. One must carry out all that has crossed the lips. (Numbers 30:3) The words of our parashah spur me to ask: "What is our pledge? What words have crossed our lips?" As many of you know, I returned from Israel on Tuesday after two weeks - two weeks in which we moved from tearfully hoping for the return of our three teenage boys to reluctantly being at war. We shouldn't have been able to imagine this. What pledge have we have broken? June 30: I stand in the hotel lobby in Be'er Sheva. I can't even remember how I found out the boys were murdered, but they would never come home. A text message comes in from Jessie, my 21-year old daughter in Be'er Sheva: There was a slight increase in rockets the past few days. Find out where your hotel's safe rooms are. If you're near buildings, go in, stand in a stairwell. If you are outside, lie on the ground, cover your head. Just something our program staff told us - low chance that Be'er Sheva would get hit. End of message. I go to bed. I can't sleep. 1 What Pledge Have We Broken? A sermon on Parshat Mattot by Rabbi Susan Leider, Congregation Kol Shofar 7/19/14 July 1: The three boys' funeral takes places in Modi'in.
