The close-by destinations are both varied and interesting and offer everything a holiday maker can possibly wish for. Carol and I went to Crete for a long weekend, from Thursday to Monday, and stayed at the beautiful Knossos Royal. It is really one of the most beautiful Greek islands, with magnificent scenery, history and beaches. And, of course, just plain Greece!!! Tavemas and very friendly people. The first of our two Brenda Miller Tours returned from Russia and to quote the participants, it was an "exceptional experience." We will keep you informed of future tours.

    Women's Quest for Occupational Equality: the Case of Agricultural

    Rural History (1996) 7, 1, 33-52. Copyright © 1996 Cambridge University Press 33 Women's Quest For Occupational Equality: The Case Of Jewish Female Agricultural Workers in Pre-State Israel YOSSI KATZ and SHOSHANA NEUMAN I. Introduction There is a common belief that Israeli women have achieved gender equality over and above that attained in America and European countries. Evidence cited to support this is the fact that women routinely serve in the Israeli army and the country elected a woman, Golda Meir, as prime minister. Equality between men and women is claimed to date back to the days at the beginning of the century when both sexes worked shoulder to shoulder in road construction and land reclamation (Bernstein, 1992: 2). The years 1904—14 and 1919-23, known in Zionist history as the Second and Third Aliyah (waves of immigration), were indeed formative times during which the dominant values of the society were shaped and the infrastructure of future organizations was laid (Eisenstadt, 1967; Izraeli, 1981). The immigrants who arrived during this period, known as halutzim (male pioneers) and halutzot (female pioneers) were idealistic nationalists from Eastern Europe. They were young and single, and came with the express purpose of rebuilding Zion and creating a new type of egalitarian and labor-oriented society. These years also proved crucial for the status of women. A readiness for experimen- tation and social creativity existed, and the conditions for redefining traditional roles between the sexes were most favorable. Moreover, the Zionist halutzim were deeply committed to social equality. Women had been integrated in various groups and activities prior to their immigration, and this experience created expectations for gender equality after the move as well.

Every morning we need his Spirit to fill us again, to strengthen us for what's ahead. Every day we need a fresh word that he speaks to our hearts, to keep our focus on what's most important. Trying to run this race of life without him will do nothing but drain us dry. They were oppressed, abused, mistreated people. They needed rescue, they needed a way of escape.

According to an estimate based on the results of the municipal amalgamations reform carried out in Israel in 2003 (Reingewertz, 2012), thanks to the economies of scale in providing public services, these unifications are expected to generate savings of approximately NIS 131 million per annum.

    LINGUISTIC AND SPATIAL PRACTICE IN A DIVIDED LANDSCAPE by Abigail Sone A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by Abigail Sone 2009 LINGUISTIC AND SPATIAL PRACTICE IN A DIVIDED LANDSCAPE Abigail Sone Department of Anthropology University of Toronto PhD 2009 Abstract of Thesis This dissertation demonstrates how changes in spatial boundaries map on to changes in the boundaries of national belonging through an ethnography of linguistic and spatial practice in a divided landscape. In Israel, as in many places around the globe, new forms of segregation have emerged in recent years, as violence and the fear of violence become increasingly bound up with the production of social difference and exclusion. In Wadi Ara, a valley in the north of the country where my fieldwork was based, segregation between Jewish and Palestinian citizens has dramatically increased since the fall of 2000, as the place of Palestinians in a Jewish state is being reconfigured. In this dissertation I focus on the changing movements and interactions of Jewish Israelis in Wadi Ara as they articulate with changes in the ways difference, belonging, and citizenship are organized on a national scale. I examine how increased hostility, fear, and distrust have become spatialized; how narratives of the past shape contemporary geographies; how competing ways of interpreting and navigating the landscape are mediated; and how particular forms of encounter are framed. My central argument is that through daily linguistic and spatial practice people in Wadi Ara do more than just make sense of shifting boundaries; they bring these boundaries into being and, in the process, they enact both self‐definition and exclusion, reflecting and circumscribing ii the changing place of Palestinians in Israel.
