  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

  • Erev Rosh Hashanah Sermon Rabbi Josh Whinston Last March, on a Trip
    Erev Rosh Hashanah Sermon Rabbi Josh Whinston Last March, on a trip to Honduras, a trip on which I only expected to be discussing the situation in Central America, I found myself in a conversation about Israel. Roxana was born in Lima, Peru. She immigrated to the United States when she was a young girl. Her father had been a member of the Peruvian Congress, and they had to flee in the 1980s. We spoke about her sense of America and migration, we talked about the way she believed the world could work. She told me she didn’t believe in nation-states. Roxana then began to shift the conversation. She brought up Israel and began to talk about her take on the country. She stopped herself after a few seconds and asked me, “You know, I don’t know where you stand on Israel.” I hesitated for a moment and then said, “Well, I like to think of myself as a progressive Zionist.” Roxana looked at me with confusion, “What’s that?” were the next words out of her mouth. I am beginning my 4th year as your rabbi, and I have yet to speak about Israel. I haven’t spoken on Israel at Shabbat services, and I haven’t spoken on Israel during any of my previous High Holy Day sermons. I haven’t spoken about Israel, and I recall only one member of our congregation asking me about this. I imagine some of you have noticed, but only one person decided to say something. It is a sad statement that no matter what I say about Israel, I am sure there are folks here who will be upset.

  • Significant Times and Dates
    Significant Times and Dates Festivals The Jewish Calendar Jewish holidays or festivals (yamim tovim) are holidays observed by Jews throughout the Hebrew calendar and include religious, cultural, and national aspects. Some are derived from Biblical mitzvot (commandments), others from rabbinic mandates, while others commemorate Jewish history and the history of the State of Israel. All Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date specified. This is because a Jewish day begins and ends at sunset, rather than at midnight. (It is inferred from the story of creation in Genesis, where it says, “And there was evening, and there was morning, one day”.) Jewish holidays occur on the same dates every year in the Hebrew calendar, but the dates vary in the Gregorian calendar. This is because the Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar (based on the cycles of both the moon and sun), whereas the Gregorian calendar is only a solar calendar. The Jewish calendar is primarily lunar, with each month beginning on the new moon. There are approximately 12.4 lunar months in every solar year, so a 12- month lunar calendar loses about 11 days every year. To prevent the “drifting” of months and holy days, Hillel II, in the fourth century, established a fixed calendar based on mathematical and astronomical calculations. This calendar, still in use today, realigned the lunar calendar with the solar years. Holidays of biblical and rabbinic (Talmudic) origin include Q The Sabbath Q Rosh Chodesh—The New Month Q Rosh Hashanah—The Jewish New Year Q Aseret Yemei Teshuva—Ten

  • What Is the Meaning of Your Aliyah Framework? 235
    Excerpt From: AN EDUCATOR'S PERSPECTIVE MICHAEL LIVNI (LANGER) Section 5- Educating for Reform Zionism JERUSALEM + NEW YORK SECTION 5 • NUMBER THREE What Is the Meaning of Your Aliyoh Fromework?1 Dear Caroline, As per your suggestion, I am reviewing some of the questions we discussed in our short conversation during your stay in Lotan. The central question which those of you who are seriously considering Ali yah must confront is whether Aliyah is a technical act or whether it is part of an ongoing Reform Zionist commitment. The reflex answer that you might want to give - ~~obviously, both!" - is invalid in the absence of a concrete program of self-definition within the Misgeret2 which reflects both purposes. I want to clarify that I do not in any way deprecate the importance of an Ali yah framework which gives you mutual support and technical assistance in your prep­ aration for what is under the best of circumstances a complex logistical operation for each and every one of you. Nor am I unaware ofthe many advantages that such a framework has in buffering the shock of your initial Klita3 both in terms of the initial supportive environment and also in terms of dealing with the carnivorous bureaucracy. Aliyah Within the Context ol Reform Zionist Commitment The sincerity of your individual Reform Zionist commitment is not in question. Undoubtedly you are also concerned with the question of how that commitment will express itself in Israel. But the message I hear is that you are saying: uLet us get to Israel first and let us get settled in our personal lives and livelihoods and then we will see about Reform Zionism!" You believe (wrongly, in my opinion) that your major immediate focus has to be Aliyah and Klita- and the rest will (hopefully) develop.
