Tartakower (Israel) © THE WORLD JEWISH CONGRESS 1964 PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY BUTLER AND TANNFR LTD FROME AND LONDON THE JEWISH POPULATION OF POLAND IN 1931* S. Bronsztejn N THE 1930S Poland was one of the largest Jewish centres in the world: Polish Jewry came second only to the Jewish population of Jthe United States in absolute numbers, and to that of Palestine in relative numbers. This group and its problems were the subject of a number of academic studies and monographs, but the most thorough source of material about various aspects of Jewish life in Poland was provided by the two inter-war population censuses. The first of these was made in 1921, the second ten years later. The 1931 census was carried out in accordance with modern methods and the published results enable one to investigate various cross-sections of the different groups in the population, including the Jews. The final results of this census were published only in 1939, but Fogelson, Bern- stein, and Chmielewski had started on a detailed analysis of them before the actual outbreak of war.! The war interrupted this work and also made it impossible to carry out the resolution passed at the annual session of the Executive and Central Council of the Jewish Scientific Institute (YIVO) in Wilno in December 1938. This resolution had recommended that a group of ex- perts should prepare a statistical study under the title 'The Jews in Poland', to be based on the 1931 census. In the inter-war period much was written about the Jews in Poland. The literature ranged from serious academic studies by scholars of the calibre of Szulc, Schiper, Bornstein, Tartakower, and Leszczynski (Lestschinsky), to scurrilous publications whose value and objectivity is indicated by their tides: 'InJewish Bondage', 'The Restoration of Con- fidence and the De-Judaisation of Poland', 'How the Jews Dominate Us', and so on. Before 1939 there were vigorous protests from every liberal and pro- gressive quarter in Poland against the increase in antisemitic propa- ganda and incidents. These1 came from the representatives of different social strata: from peasant students in the Folk University on the one side and Professor Tadeusz Kotarbinski on the other; Adam Prochnik and Maria Dabrowska; Leon KruCzkowski and Bishop Chomyszyn. Translated from the Polish. S. BRONSZTEJN The political convictions of various groups in Polish society could be gauged by their attitude to the Jews. But little was known about the Jews themselves; Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz, an eminent Polish writer and a good friend of the Jewish people, made the apt comment: 'We lived with these people under the same roof for many centuries. Yet we knew them so little and saw them in a distorting mirror.' 1 On the twentieth anniversary of the Wilno resolution I undertook, so far as my modest means allowed, to carry out the wish of the last session of the YIVO Central Council to be held in Poland. It was my hope that the material assembled and analysed here on the demographic, occupa- aonal and social characteristics of Polish Jcwry in the inter-war period might be useful to students both of Jewish life and of the social and economic problems of pre-war Poland.' Poland between the wars was a plural state in which 'national minorities' (in the Polish usage) made up over one-third of the total population. Each national group differed considerably from the others in such features as the degree of territorial concentration, rural or urban residence, demographic processes, occupational, social and economic indices, and so on. If to these we add differences of religion and varying degrees in the operation of traditional forces, we can understand the psychological differences between the groups. The distinctive character of the Jewish population was developed over a thousand years of history. The long story of the Jews in Poland abounds in elements which link the two peoples inhabiting a common homeland: suffering and struggle, the poverty and insecurity of the immense majority of the working classes, periods of upsurge and de- cline; internal dissension and strife, mutual resentments and accusa- tions. All these elements are commonplace in every large human community in which national or ethnic groups are differentiated by class.

    Retail Prices in a City*

    Retail Prices in a City Alon Eizenberg Saul Lach The Hebrew University and CEPR The Hebrew University and CEPR Merav Yiftach Israel Central Bureau of Statistics July 2017 Abstract We study grocery price differentials across neighborhoods in a large metropolitan area (the city of Jerusalem, Israel). Prices in commercial areas are persistently lower than in residential neighborhoods. We also observe substantial price variation within residential neighborhoods: retailers that operate in peripheral, non-a­ uent neighborhoods charge some of the highest prices in the city. Using CPI data on prices and neighborhood-level credit card data on expenditure patterns, we estimate a model in which households choose where to shop and how many units of a composite good to purchase. The data and the estimates are consistent with very strong spatial segmentation. Combined with a pricing equation, the demand estimates are used to simulate interventions aimed at reducing the cost of grocery shopping. We calculate the impact on the prices charged in each neighborhood and on the expected price paid by its residents - a weighted average of the prices paid at each destination, with the weights being the probabilities of shopping at each destination. Focusing on prices alone provides an incomplete picture and may even be misleading because shopping patterns change considerably. Specifically, we find that interventions that make the commercial areas more attractive and accessible yield only minor price reductions, yet expected prices decrease in a pronounced fashion. The benefits are particularly strong for residents of the peripheral, non-a­ uent neighborhoods. We thank Eyal Meharian and Irit Mishali for their invaluable help with collecting the price data and with the provision of the geographic (distance) data.

    ISRAEL Israel Is a Multiparty Parliamentary Democracy with A

    ISRAEL Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy with a population of approximately 7.7 million, including Israelis living in the occupied territories. Israel has no constitution, although a series of "Basic Laws" enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a "State of Emergency," which has been in effect since 1948. The 120-member, unicameral Knesset has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. The February 2009 elections for the Knesset were considered free and fair. They resulted in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israeli security forces reported to civilian authorities. (An annex to this report covers human rights in the occupied territories. This report deals with human rights in Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.) Principal human rights problems were institutional, legal, and societal discrimination against Arab citizens, Palestinian residents of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (see annex), non-Orthodox Jews, and other religious groups; societal discrimination against persons with disabilities; and societal discrimination and domestic violence against women, particularly in Bedouin society. While trafficking in persons for the purpose of prostitution decreased in recent years, trafficking for the purpose of labor remained a serious problem, as did abuse of foreign workers and societal discrimination and incitement against asylum seekers. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life The government or its agents did not commit politically motivated killings. The petitioners withdrew their appeal to the High Court against the closure of the inquiry by the Department for Investigations against Police Officers' (DIPO) into the 2008 beating and subsequent coma and death of Sabri al-Jarjawi, a Bedouin.

  • Jewish History and the Ideology of the Modern Sport

    Jewish History and the Ideology of the Modern Sport

    JOURNAL OF SPORT HISTORY Jewish History and the Ideology of Modern Sport: Approaches and Interpretations by George Eisen CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY Where and how a society defines sport and the body reflects how its members define themselves. Coincidentally, sports in modern industrial and post-industrial societies have come to be parables tinctured with the issues and conflicts of race, ethnicity, and gender. Over the past century and a half, the advent and evolution of modern sport, and of course the Olympic movement, have been closely intertwined with Jewish history. Because they were rooted and molded simultaneously by predictable socio-cultural, psychological, and economic realities, these events also have greatly influenced and impacted each other. They evolved at a crucial junction in history. In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the socio-political emancipation, accelerated pace of industrialization, economic empowerment, rise of political and racial anti-Semitism, and the ascent of political Zionism coincided with the rise of modern sport and the formative years of the Olympic movement. This was also the time of a radical and irretrievable transformation of the Jewish community from a religious to an ethno-culturally based community. The question of how sport and Jewish intellectual thought, ethics, and tradition interacts with each other is an intriguingly complex one. Every religion contains a distinct ideology and value system that, according to Max Weber, exerts powerful influences upon social action. Judaism is no different. Yet, an interpretation of Jewish religious ethics and its influence on modern life is compounded by ethno-cultural dimensions that have developed as a consequence of cultural and social forces beyond the boundaries of the Jewish community.
