Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

    The Historical Significance of the Cambridge Genizah Inventory Project Rebecca J. W. Jefferson1, 2 1 Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit, Cambridge University Library 2 Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica, George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida [email protected] Abstract The Cambridge Inventory Project, sponsored by the Friedberg Genizah Project and carried out by a number of researchers at the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit, was the first attempt to provide accurate information regarding the size and classification of the more than 193,000 Genizah manuscript fragments held at Cambridge University Library. Prior to this project, no authoritative list of valid shelf marks was available, nor was it known how many fragments were classified under any one shelf mark. The provision of such data and the creation of a searchable database were essential for the planning and implementation of a future digitization project. This article not only describes the ensuing Inventory Project, it also uses the project‘s findings, together with additional information in previously unseen archives, to provide a new history of how these collections were formed over time. Keywords Cambridge Inventory Project, Cambridge Genizah Collections, Cambridge University Library, Friedberg Genizah Project, Cairo Genizah, Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit, Genizah manuscripts, Genizah fragments, Solomon Schechter, library, digitization, shelf marks, handlists, folios, Hebrew, Arabic, collections, crates, residue A complete inventory of the Cambridge Genizah Manuscript Collections was compiled between the years 2004 and 2006. It was undertaken by researchers in the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit,1 under the auspices of the Friedberg Genizah Project,2 in order to prepare the way for the eventual digitization of these manuscripts.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • In the Educational Philosophy of Limmud
    INDIVIDUALS PRACTISING COMMUNITY: THE CENTRAL PLACE OF INTERACTION IN THE EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF LIMMUD JONATHAN BOYD, BA (HaNS), MA THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION APRIL2013 ABSTRACT In light of growing evidence of exogamy among Jews and diminishing levels of community engagement, the question of how to sustain and cultivate Jewish identity has become a major preoccupation in the Jewish world since the early 1990s. Among the numerous organisations, programmes and initiatives that have been established and studied in response, Limmud, a week-long annual festival of Jewish life and learning in the UK that attracts an estimated 2,500 people per annum and has been replicated throughout the world, remains decidedly under-researched. This study is designed to understand its educational philosophy. Based upon qualitative interviews with twenty Limmud leaders, and focus group sessions with Limmud participants, it seeks to explore the purposes of the event, its content, its social and educational processes, and contextual environment. It further explores the importance of relationships in Limmud's philosophy, and the place of social capital in its practice. The study demonstrates that Limmud's educational philosophy is heavily grounded in the interaction of competing tensions, or polarities, on multiple levels. Major categorical distinctions drawn in educational philosophy and practice, and Jewish and general sociology, are both maintained and allowed to interact. This interaction takes place in a "hospitable and charged" environment - one that is simultaneously safe, respectful and comfortable, whilst also edgy, powerful and challenging - that allows the individual freedom to explore and navigate the contours of Jewish community, and the Jewish community opportunity to envelope and nurture the experience of the individual.

  • A Short History of the Jews in England
    MENASSEH BEN ISRAEL FROM A PORTRAIT BY RBMBRANOT Frontispii JEWISH STUDIES Edited by A. Lukyn Williams, D.D. A SHORT HISTORY OF THE JEWS IN ENGLAND BY THE REV. H. P. STOKES, LL.D., Litt.D., F.S.A. HON. FELLOW OF CORPUS CHRISTI COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE; HON. CANON OF ELY WITH 8 lLLUSTRATIONS\ LONDON CENTRAL BOARD OF MISSIONS AND SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN CO. 1921 PREFACE BY THE EDITOR No modern nation has taken more interest in the Jews than the English-speaking peoples, none has tried to deal more fairly with them. Yet it cannot be pretended that we English know much about their post-Biblical history, practices, and beliefs, much less that we have studied these in relation to Christianity past and present. The aim of this series is to do something towards supplying this want. It will endeavour to describe Jews as they have been and as they are, to state and explain the efforts of Christians in past centuries to win them, and the methods used, and both to set out and to weigh their chief doctrines. Thus gradually but surely a collection of handbooks will be formed, which Jews and Christians alike may use, and each learn to understand better the religion of the other. Naturally the books will be Christian, and because they are Christian will try both to represent Christianity in its proper spirit, and to exhibit it as the supreme truth. A. LUKYN WILLIAMS.

  • Emergent Liberal Judaism and Lily Montagu's
    EMERGENT LIBERAL JUDAISM AND LILY MONTAGU’S PROTO-FEMINIST PROJECT: EXPLORING THE PRECURSIVE AND CONCEPTUAL LINKS WITH SECOND AND THIRD-WAVE JEWISH FEMINIST THEOLOGIES Luke Devine* Abstract: Lily Montagu was the founder of Liberal Judaism in England. Because of Montagu’s groundbreaking proto-feminist efforts women in Liberal Judaism can become rabbis, be called up to read the Torah, they are equal in divorce law, they can study the sacred texts, they can form a minyan, and can assume communal and religious positions of authority over men. Montagu was an author, theologian, and social worker; she was the driving force behind the development of Liberal Judaism. However, this biographical overview does not match up with the extant historiography that has instead preferred to focus on the male leaders of the Liberal movement to the extent that Montagu’s intellectual and theological contribution has been marginalized and even completely ignored. In this paper we will siècle Anglo-Jewry that would otherwise be forgotten; even more, we will see in Montagu’s essays, monographs, and novels some of the English foundations of contemporary Jewish feminist theology. In the process, the biography and memory of Lily Montagu will be restored to its rightful place. Lily Montagu was the founder of Anglo-Liberal Judaism, but the extant scholarship has not been forthcoming in acknowledging the extent of her role in the expansion of the movement. In fact, Montagu’s part in the formation and development of Liberal Judaism into an established denomination, and her contribution to the intellectual, spiritual, and theological underpinnings of the movement, have been marginalized, downplayed, and even ignored, with analyses of her involvement even bordering on the derogatory.

  • The Regulation of Jewish Moneylending in Medieval England
    Const Polit Econ (2010) 21:374–406 DOI 10.1007/s10602-010-9087-3 ORIGINAL PAPER The political economy of expulsion: the regulation of Jewish moneylending in medieval England Mark Koyama Published online: 17 February 2010 Ó Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010 Abstract This paper develops an analytic narrative examining an institution known as ‘The Exchequer of the Jewry’. The prohibition on usury resulted in most moneylending activities being concentrated within the Jewish community. The king set up the Exchequer of the Jewry in order to extract these monopoly profits. This institution lasted for almost 100 years but collapsed during the second part of the thirteenth century. This collapse resulted in the expulsion of the Anglo-Jewish population. This paper provides a rational choice account of the institutional trajectory of the Exchequer of the Jewry. This account explains why it ultimately failed to provide a suitable framework for the development of capital markets in medieval England. Keywords Taxation Á Usury Á Rent creation Á Parliament ‘If there is one thing about kings…if there is one general thing about them which we seem to learn from the history books, it is that more than not they were hard up…Through their lack of money they have been put in the most desperate straits; savage confiscations of Jews and Templars, civil wars in England and revolutions in France’ John Hicks (1969, 82) 1 Introduction This paper examines the relationship between the state and credit markets—by focusing on a particular case study: the attempt to regulate and tax Jewish M.

    Phoenix Yard, 65 Kings Cross Road, London WC1X 9LW T: 020 7239 4913 E: [email protected] Letter to local councillor candidates re Gendered Islamophobia in Britain today Wednesday 18th April 2018 Dear Local Council Candidate, As Jewish and Muslim women, we both firmly believe that no-one should fear for their safety because of who they are, how they pray, what they wear, or their gender. How we treat each other is a testament to our core values and we are all diminished when we allow fear and ignorance, which often lead to bigotry and violence, to come between us and go unchecked. Tell MAMA www.tellmamauk.org, the only national campaign that monitors, records and supports victims of anti-Muslim hatred, highlighted in their annual report, a range of social impacts caused by anti-Muslim hatred within the United Kingdom. The greatest impact was felt by women, who are visibly Muslim; more than half of victims of in-person or street- based incidents were female. Every day spaces like trains, buses or the streets often feel unsafe for Muslim women, and they are too often worried that they, and their children, will face verbal abuse or even physical violence. As Jewish women, standing shoulder to shoulder with our Muslim cousins, and as mothers, sisters, and crucially as friends, we call upon every candidate in the local elections in May, to commit to addressing violence against Muslim Women, or Gendered Islamophobia. We call upon you, as potential local councillors, firstly to publicly and immediately commit to a clear strategy to protect Muslim women on our streets in our towns and villages, and secondly, to work with Nisa-Nashim (the Jewish/Muslim women’s network in 30 locations nationally) to develop a local policy, to address this issue longer term.

For th s purpose it has been found necessary to divide the subj ect- matter of the E N CYCLO PE DIA in a somewhat different manner from that adopted for editorial purposes in the various departments . Several sections united under the con trol of one editor have been placed in more logical order in ff e a di er nt parts of the following ccount , while , on the other hand , sections which were divided among different editors have here been brought together under one head. In justice to my colleagues it is but fair to add that they are in no sense responsible for this - redistribution of the subject matter , or indeed for any of the views which either explicitly or by implication are expressed in the following pages on some of the disputed points affecting modern Jews and Judaism .
