Dept of Neurosurgery, Hadassah Hospital / Hebrew University Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel Whilst planning my elective, I managed to distil my aims down to three fundamental themes: immersion in neurosurgery; exposure to a different health system; and the exploration of Israel. With my feet back on English soil I have come to realise how insightful my elective was and the privilege I was granted in being able to undertake it. Excitement aside, my arrival in Ben Gurion airport was shrouded in apprehension. I was to spend four weeks in neurosurgical unit of the world-renowned Hadassah Medical Centre, equipped with little more than a guidebook and an undergraduate grasp of neuro-anatomy. Fortunately, my first few days in Jerusalem were some of acclimatization allowing me to settle in before the placement-proper began. From my hostel in Davidka Square I ventured out, only to be overwhelmed by the vivacity and variety the city had to offer. I passed from the westernised new city under Jaffa Gate, to be greeted by the rich tangle of streets and alleyways which make up the old city. The Via Dolorosa, Holy Sepulchre, Damascus Gate… The venerable renown of these timeless places seemed so at odds with the modern-day souvenir stalls and falafel stands. I arrived at the Western Wall plaza just as the city prepared to welcome Shabbat, and was in awe at the holy fervour which built as the sun set. Jerusalem, in all her antiquity and modernity, was like no place I had ever seen, and I was fascinated. My first impressions of Hadassah Ein Kerem were dominated by the site’s enormity.

Dr. Thomas R. Paradise Thesis Director Dr. Noah Billig Dr. Joel Gordon Committee Member Committee Member Abstract Multidisciplinary research and philosophical discourse have long explored the complex relationship between the objective environment and subjective human perception. No two humans perceive, experience, and form attitudes about the same phenomenon in exactly the same way. Individual demographics (sex, age) and group identity (culture, religion, ethnicity, political ideology) have been shown to have a profound effect on perception of phenomena; research has also focused on the effect of the physical environment itself.

Jerusalem: City of Dreams, City of Sorrows
1 JERUSALEM: CITY OF DREAMS, CITY OF SORROWS More than ever before, urban historians tell us that global cities tend to look very much alike. For U.S. students. the“ look alike” perspective makes it more difficult to empathize with and to understand cultures and societies other than their own. The admittedly superficial similarities of global cities with U.S. ones leads to misunderstandings and confusion. The multiplicity of cybercafés, high-rise buildings, bars and discothèques, international hotels, restaurants, and boutique retailers in shopping malls and multiplex cinemas gives these global cities the appearances of familiarity. The ubiquity of schools, university campuses, signs, streetlights, and urban transportation systems can only add to an outsider’s “cultural and social blindness.” Prevailing U.S. learning goals that underscore American values of individualism, self-confidence, and material comfort are, more often than not, obstacles for any quick study or understanding of world cultures and societies by visiting U.S. student and faculty.1 Therefore, international educators need to look for and find ways in which their students are able to look beyond the veneer of the modern global city through careful program planning and learning strategies that seek to affect the students in their “reading and learning” about these fertile centers of liberal learning. As the students become acquainted with the streets, neighborhoods, and urban centers of their global city, their understanding of its ways and habits is embellished and enriched by the walls, neighborhoods, institutions, and archaeological sites that might otherwise cause them their “cultural and social blindness.” Jerusalem is more than an intriguing global historical city.

The National Left (First Draft) by Shmuel Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv
The National Left (First Draft) by Shmu'el Hasfari and Eldad Yaniv Open Source Center OSC Summary: A self-published book by Israeli playwright Shmu'el Hasfari and political activist Eldad Yaniv entitled "The National Left (First Draft)" bemoans the death of Israel's political left. http://www.fas.org/irp/dni/osc/israel-left.pdf Statement by the Authors The contents of this publication are the responsibility of the authors, who also personally bore the modest printing costs. Any part of the material in this book may be photocopied and recorded. It is recommended that it should be kept in a data-storage system, transmitted, or recorded in any form or by any electronic, optical, mechanical means, or otherwise. Any form of commercial use of the material in this book is permitted without the explicit written permission of the authors. 1. The Left The Left died the day the Six-Day War ended. With the dawn of the Israeli empire, the Left's sun sank and the Small [pun on Smol, the Hebrew word for Left] was born. The Small is a mark of Cain, a disparaging term for a collaborator, a lover of Arabs, a hater of Israel, a Jew who turns against his own people, not a patriot. The Small-ists eat pork on Yom Kippur, gobble shrimps during the week, drink espresso whenever possible, and are homos, kapos, artsy-fartsy snobs, and what not. Until 1967, the Left actually managed some impressive deeds -- it took control of the land, ploughed, sowed, harvested, founded the state, built the army, built its industry from scratch, fought Arabs, settled the land, built the nuclear reactor, brought millions of Jews here and absorbed them, and set up kibbutzim, moshavim, and agriculture.

Jerusalem is both Israel’s capital city and its most populous, with a total of over 815,000 residents this year – meaning that 1 in every 10 of the country’s residents lives in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is characterized as well by its distinctive cultural and political history and a religious, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity that together weave the intricate fabric of this complex city. This unique character of the City of Jerusalem is reflected in the nearly 50-year mandate of the Jerusalem Foundation.

Israel Travel Guide You Are Reading Is a Greatly Expanded Version of One I First Prepared for an American Friend Some Two Decades Ago
ISRAEL: A PERSONAL TRAVEL GUIDE By Douglas E. Duckett Cincinnati, Ohio, USA [email protected] ©2004-2016 Douglas E. Duckett All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION. The Israel travel guide you are reading is a greatly expanded version of one I first prepared for an American friend some two decades ago. In it, I have tried to share my experiences and knowledge of Israel based on a lifetime of study and fifteen visits to the country, most recently in May 2016. I enjoy independent travel, and this guide was written primarily with such travelers in mind, though I hope the information will be helpful to those on group tours as well. As an American, I have produced a guide that, no doubt, reflects that identify and experience. I hope my readers from other countries will forgive that, and still find useful information to help plan their trips. I am not in the travel industry. Rather, I am a labor lawyer who loves Israel passionately and wants to encourage others to travel there and experience this wonderful land. My first visit was in November 1988, and I caught the bug; thus I started visiting every other year or so thereafter, except for 2000-2004, the truly terrible years of the second Palestinian uprising and the terror bombings in Israel cities. Now, with partial retirement, I am going every year (God willing!). Even with the mostly peaceful conditions prevailing since then, some friends still asked, “are you sure you want to go back to Israel?” Of course, recent tensions in Jerusalem, with a wave of stabbing attacks on Israelis, have further increased those anxieties, even for me to some degree.

The City Square in the Performance of Taanit: from Rabbinic Space to Contemporary Jerusalem*
Journal of Levantine Studies Vol. 5, No. 1, Summer 2015, pp. 59-81 The City Square in the Performance of Taanit: From Rabbinic Space to Contemporary Jerusalem* Yair Lipshitz Tel Aviv University [email protected] Whether its roots are in the Athenian agora, the medieval marketplace, or the Renaissance piazza, the city square has been celebrated in Western imagination as a privileged site of civic participation, exchange, and democratic action.1 Recent protest movements, worldwide and specifically in the Middle East, have stirred renewed attention to city squares. From Tahrir Square in Cairo and Taksim Square in Istanbul, through Syntagma Square in Athens and Puerta del Sol in Madrid, to the now nonexistent Pearl Roundabout in Bahrain—all these played a vital role in the political action of cities and nations. This was part of a wider reclaiming of urban public spaces (such as Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv and Zuccotti Park in New York) as sites of political and social activism and conflict.2 The later global branding of some of the protest movements under the name “Occupy” further exemplifies this spatial concern: it alludes to an assertive (perhaps even aggressive) act of infiltration, of claiming access and use of spaces that were hitherto perceived as removed or taken away from public sociopolitical use. As a whole these modes of protest can be seen as a response to what Setha Low and Neil Smith call “a trenchant reregulation and redaction of public space,” in which a “creeping encroachment in previous years has in the last
