  • Religious Education and Political Activism in Mandate Palestine
    Religious Education and Political Activism in Mandate Palestine Suzanne Schneider Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Suzanne Schneider All rights reserved ABSTRACT Religious Education and Political Activism in Mandate Palestine Suzanne Schneider This dissertation offers a conceptual analysis of Jewish and Islamic religious education in Palestine during the years of British military, civil and Mandatory control (1917-1948). It examines the policies toward religious education pursued by the Government of Palestine, as well as practices developed by Jewish and Muslim educators for use within Zionist and private Arab schools. Based on a combination of archival sources, school curricula, textbooks, memoirs and newspapers, this dissertation elucidates the tensions that characterized attempts on the part of colonial and “native” reformers to transform the structure, content and purpose of religious education in pursuit of their respective political goals. In order to situate the Department of Education’s policies within Palestine’s sectarian context, I chart how an understanding of religion as an apolitical source of individual ethics found reflection in a legal structure that tied educational freedom to the religious community. I further argue that the Department of Education promoted a novel version of religious education within both Jewish and Muslim communities as, somewhat paradoxically, a means of preserving the “traditional” order in which religious knowledge was separated from national politics. Therefore while secular studies were encouraged on an instrumental basis, administrators vigorously opposed the development of secularism as an ideological framework associated with moral discord and political upheaval.

  • Words to the Wives: the Jewish Press, Immigrant Women, and Identity Construction, 1895-1925
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: WORDS TO THE WIVES: THE JEWISH PRESS, IMMIGRANT WOMEN, AND IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION, 1895-1925 Shelby Alan Shapiro, Ph.D., 2009 Directed By: Professor R. Gordon Kelly, Department of American Studies This dissertation examines how six publications sought to construct Jewish-American identities for Eastern European Jewish immigrant women between 1895 and 1925, beginning in 1895 with the world’s first Jewish women’s magazine, American Jewess (1895 - 1899), followed by a women’s magazine in Yiddish, Di froyen-velt (1913 -1914), and ending with an another Yiddish women’s magazine, Der idisher froyen zhurnal (1922-1923). Between 1914 and 1916, three mass circulation Yiddish daily newspapers, Dos yidishes tageblatt , Forverts , and Der tog , started printing women’s pages. This study ends in 1925, after Congress passed legislation restricting immigration in 1924. These publications present a variety of viewpoints and identities, that were political, religious and class-based. The three magazines, all in the same genre, held different attitudes on everything from religion to suffrage. The three daily newspapers represented fundamentally different ideologies. Forverts was socialist. Der tog was nationalist-Zionist, and Dos yidishes tageblatt , the oldest publication examined, represented a conservative, traditionally religious viewpoint and supported Zionism. This study examines religious and political ideologies, celebrating religious and civic holidays, attitudes towards women working and learning, Jewish education, women’s suffrage and exercising citizenship, as well as women in the public and private spheres of both the Jewish and American worlds. The central question asked is how those involved with these publications endeavored to create particular Jewish-American identities.

  • Jews and Leftist Politics
    Jews and Leftist Politics The relationships, past and present, between Jews and the political left remain of abiding interest to both the academic community and the public. Jews and Leftist Politics contains new and insightful chapters from world-renowned scholars and considers such matters as the political implications of Judaism; the relationships of leftists and Jews; the histories of Jews on the left in Europe, the United States, and Israel; contemporary anti-Zionism; the associations between specific Jews and Communist Parties; and the importance of gendered perspectives. It also contains fresh studies of canonical figures, including Gershom Scholem, Gustav Landauer, and Martin Buber, and examines the affiliations of Jews to prominent institutions, calling into question previously widely held assumptions. The volume is characterized by judicious appraisals made by respected authorities and sheds considerable light on conten- tious themes. jack jacobs is Professor of Political Science at John Jay College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York.

  • Waarom Werd Jacob Israël De Haan Vermoord?
    TIJDSCHRIFT VOOR GESCHIEDENIS 63 www.tijdschriftvoorgeschiedenis.nl Uitgave: Amsterdam University Press Waarom werd Jacob Israël de Haan vermoord? Ludy Giebels TVGESCH 127 (1): 63–84 DOI: 10.5117/TVGESCH2014.1.GIEB Abstract In 1924 the Dutch journalist and poet Jacob Israel de Haan was assassinated in Jerusalem by members of the Zionist Haganah. His death has been described as the price he paid for his struggle on behalf of the Palestine Arabs. He was labeled therefore as the Jew- ish (or even Dutch) Lawrence of Arabia. Indeed, in his writings De Haan pointed out the incompatibility of Zionist demands with Arab expectations. Yet he was in the first place a champion of Jewish orthodoxy as represented by Rabbi Chaim Sonnenfeld, the leader of the Ashkenazi community in Jerusalem. His quarrel with the Zionist Organization crystal- lized around their claim also to represent Jewish orthodoxy. Because of De Haan’s efforts the British Colonial Office in London did not combine the Sonnenfeldgroup into the Zionist Chief rabbinate as had been planned by High Commissioner Herbert Samuel. The Zionist Organization became nervous about De Haan’s propaganda. Extracting from King-Caliph Husayn of the Hedjaz in February 1924 a statement that His Highness considered the ‘god- less’ Zionism a danger for Islam was De Haan’s last diplomatic act. This was denounced at the instigation of Frederick Kisch, the political Zionists’ chief in Jerusalem, and probably sealed De Haan’s fate, following a number of other threats in the previous years. Keywords: Jacob Israel de Haan, political murder, Jewish orthodoxy, Zionism, Palestine mandate De moord op Jacob Israël de Haan in 1924 alleenvertegenwoordiger was van het jo­ is de geschiedenis ingegaan als de prijs dendom.

    Girls of Liberty BRANDEIS SERIES ON GENDER, CULTURE, RELIGION, AND LAW Series editors: Lisa Fishbayn Joffe and Sylvia Neil This series focuses on the conflict between women’s claims to gender equality and legal norms justified in terms of religious and cultural traditions. It seeks work that develops new theoretical tools for conceptualizing feminist projects for transform- ing the interpretation and justification of religious law, examines the interaction or application of civil law or remedies to gender issues in a religious context, and engages in analysis of conflicts over gender and culture/religion in a particular reli- gious legal tradition, cultural community, or nation. Created under the auspices of the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute in conjunction with its Project on Gender, Culture, Religion, and the Law, this series emphasizes cross-cultural and interdisciplinary scholarship concerning Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and other religious traditions.
