This is expressed in many ways. Wherever Jews have lived, they have built synagogues and schools, and have established social and charitable organisations. Today, the concept of community has changed. While dispersed geographically throughout Europe, we live lives that are intimately connected through social media and mass com- munications. It is right that we feel an empathy and a responsibility to this expanded and wider community as once we felt it only to our imme- diate physical neighbourhood. The European Jewish Fund takes the traditional model of Jewish philanthropy and expands it in a way that meets today’s denition of Jewish community. It aims at linking those from afar with the targeted resources to meet their specic needs and aspirations, spreading Jewish education, culture and social interac- tion, building a united Jewish community for the 21st century in all its diversity.

Porous Empire: Foreign Visitors And The Post-Stalin Soviet State Abstract “Porous Empire” is a study of the relationship between Soviet institutions, Soviet society and the millions of foreigners who visited the USSR between the mid-1950s and the mid-1980s. “Porous Empire” traces how Soviet economic, propaganda, and state security institutions, all shaped during the isolationist Stalin period, struggled to accommodate their practices to millions of visitors with material expectations and assumed legal rights radically unlike those of Soviet citizens. While much recent Soviet historiography focuses on the ways in which the post-Stalin opening to the outside world led to the erosion of official Soviet ideology, I argue that ideological attitudes inherited from the Stalin era structured institutional responses to a growing foreign presence in Soviet life. Therefore, while Soviet institutions had to accommodate their economic practices to the growing numbers of tourists and other visitors inside the Soviet borders and were forced to concede the existence of contact zones between foreigners and Soviet citizens that loosened some of the absolute sovereignty claims of the Soviet party-statem, they remained loyal to visions of Soviet economic independence, committed to fighting the cultural Cold War, and profoundly suspicious of the outside world.

  • Aliyah of Estonian Jews
    Mark Rybak 1 Aliyah of Estonian Jews. Situation of Jews in Estonia in the second half of the XIX century In 1710 – 1917 Estonia was a part of the Russian Empire. It was outside the Pale of Settlement (area where Jews were allowed to live). This partially explains why the number of Jews in Estonia was relatively small. However, in 1865 Emperor Alexander II issued a decree that allowed certain groups of Jews to settle anywhere in Russia. These groups included the so-called Nikolai soldiers with their families, first guild merchants, professionals with high education etc. Jewish population of Estonia started to grow, and by 1897 reached 3837 (0.4% of the total population). In the 1870s a part of the Jewish intelligentsia still believed that it is possible to solve “the Jewish problem” by a partial or a total assimilation. The crisis and the disappointment came at the beginning of the 1880s when antisemitism in Russia grew significantly. The persecution of Jews, the notorious Pale of Settlement that restricted the free movement, a difficult economic situation and, finally, the pogroms of 1881-1882 brought the wave of massive emigration of Jews from Russia, mainly from the areas of the Pale of Settlement. Between 1881-1908 about 1,250,000 Russian Jews emigrated to America and about 20,000 to Palestine. 1 Aliyah in Hebrew means "ascent" or "going up". Jewish tradition views traveling to the land of Israel as an ascent, both geographically and metaphysically. Anyone traveling to Eretz Israel from Egypt, Babylonia or the Mediterranean basin, where many Jews lived in early rabbinic times, climbed to a higher altitude.

  • Introduction to Volume II Jay Winter
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76653-1 - The Cambridge History of the First World War: Volume II: The State Edited by Jay Winter Excerpt More information Introduction to Volume II jay winter The First World War was a test of the legitimacy of the states which waged it. They had to provide the weapons and manpower needed to win the war, and at the same time ensure that the war effort did not reduce the population to hunger, misery and despair. With the major exception of Russia, the Allies passed the test of legitimacy, winning the war on the battlefields while maintaining adequate standards of living among the civilians whom the armies were purportedly defending. The Central Powers failed that test, and as a consequence, the major imperial powers in that alliance – Germany, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman Turkey – collapsed. This volume tells the story of the First World War as a test of state and imperial power, but it also considers ways in which the structure of the state and its relationship to civil society were transformed by the conflict. Carl Schmitt defined the sovereign as he who has the right to declare a state of exception, a time when normal legal, bureaucratic and political rules are 1 suspended. The greatest, most catastrophic, state of exception to date in world history was the First World War, and the radical concentration of power in the hands of an array of executive and military leaders in wartime had lasting effects on the history of all combatant states thereafter. One implication of Schmitt’s view, which he developed in the immediate aftermath of the war, was the collapse of parliamentarianism as a way of waging war, either external or internal.
