Breslov (also Bratslav, also spelled Breslev) is a branch of Hasidic Judaism founded by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov (1772–1810) a great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, founder of Hasidism. Its adherents strive to develop an intense, joyous relationship with God and receive guidance toward this goal from the teachings of Rebbe Nachman. The movement has had no central, living leader for the past 200 years, as Rebbe Nachman did not designate a successor. As such, they are sometimes referred to as the טויטע חסידיו (the "Dead Hasidim"), since they have never had another formal Rebbe since Nachman's death. However, certain groups and communities under the Breslov banner refer to their leaders as "Rebbe". The movement weathered strong opposition from virtually all other Hasidic movements in Ukraine throughout the nineteenth century, yet at the same time experienced tremendous growth in numbers of followers from Ukraine, White Russia, Lithuania and Poland.

Rabbi By now, most of you are aware that we will face a most unusual Betsy Torop 541-3751 convergence of holidays this month. For virtually the first time, the Administrative Director first day of Chanukah will coincide with Thanksgiving. (The first candle is lit Wednesday night, making Thursday the actual first day of Mags Oldman 681-6547 Chanukah.)

Over 79,000 years will pass until the night before Thanksgiving again coincides with the first candle. The Jewish calendar is a complicated balance between the lunar Executive Board of Directors: and solar calendars, mainly lunar. There are adjustments made (such as adding in certain years of a second month of Adar) so that the holidays remain seasonally appropriate. But, at a President rate of four days per 1000 years, the Jewish calendar is gradually getting out of sync with the Hank Mart 486-3709 solar calendar, thus causing the Jewish calendar to slowly drift forward.

Previous research has shown that Jewish Orthodox Israelis are exposed to liberal Western ideals about romantic love and gender egalitarianism while continuing to uphold conservative family values. To gain insight into how leaders of Orthodox Jewish groups deal with these conflicting meaning systems, a representative sample of thirty guidebooks written for Re- ligious Zionist and Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel was analyzed by using a qualitative grounded theory analysis.

    Haredi Textbooks in Israel REINFORCING THE BARRICADES Eldad J. Pardo Tehila Gamliel May 2017 Suite 15, Belgium House, Givat Ram Campus, Hebrew University Jerusalem Office/Fax: +972-2-5332497 Website: www.impact-se.org Contents 1 Executive Summary 5 Acknowledgements 6 Preface 9 Introduction 16 Research Corpus 18 Background of Haredi Education in Israel 20 Haredi Schools 28 Attitudes toward the “Other” in Haredi Education 30 Nations of the World 38 Attitude toward Arabs 47 Secularism and Modern Culture 53 Zionism and the State of Israel 61 Racism and Mizrahi Jews 70 Gender and the Status of Women 81 Conclusion and Recommendations 85 Methodology 87 List of Textbooks Executive Summary Textbooks used in the Haredi education system promote a unique and separate cultural identity while generally keeping recognition and contact with mainstream Israeli culture to a minimum. The curricula oppose modernity. Acceptance of Others is limited and unequal, depending on perceived threats to the Haredi community’s identity and its goals. Most study, particularly for boys, is conducted outside the curricula where they learn religious (mostly Torah) studies, the result of a compromise with the State of Israel; that study is generally archaic in style, using expressions and ideas common in the 1950s and 60s; and often features exaggerated, inappropriate language typically absent in newer high-quality textbooks. Anti-Semitism, Peace and Haredi Identity Hatred of the Jewish people by the “nations of the world” is understood to be a permanent historical reality. Paradoxically, this understanding, though seemingly pessimistic, is also expressed as hopeful, focusing on the victory of the spiritual over the material and advocating a mission and meaning for each person’s life.
