  • Zion in the Sources
    Zion in the Sources: Yearning for Zion Briana Simon :כותב המאמר Have you ever wondered where the world 'Zion' actually comes from? This article explores Zion in the Bible, aggadot, customs and laws, ancient and modern poetry, and through the Zionist movement itself. Foreword Yearning for Zion is the root of what it means to be a Jew. "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee" (Genesis 12:1) this is the Divine command to our Father Abraham; this is where the connection between being a Jew, and being a person whose homeland is the land of Israel, begins. For Jews all over the globe, the Land of Israel is the spiritual homeland. For those of us who live in the State of Israel, the land of Israel is our spiritual and physical home. After 2000 years of exile, we have arrived in our homeland a homeland which was not handed to us on a silver platter. Another people also loves this land, and fate has brought them to live here for hundreds of years. For decades we have extended a hand in peace and partnership. It is our hope that love for the Land of Israel will bring to all those who live within it, and those who love from afar, a life of peace, fraternity and prosperity. Indeed, may it be that "From Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of G-d from Jerusalem." Amen! Introduction The compelling magnetism which Zion as the land of Israel, as Jerusalem, or as the site of the Holy Temple has for the people of Israel, called so though they are scattered all over the world, is as puzzling as it is strong.

  • Early Israeli Forests As Environmental Memorials
    https://doi.org/10.11649/ch.2020.008 Colloquia Humanistica 9 (2020) Sephardim, Ashkenazim and Non-Jewish Peoples: Encounters Across Europe COLLOQUIA HUMANISTICA Maria Piekarska Faculty of “Artes Liberales” University of Warsaw Warsaw https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7015-9012 [email protected] “Instead of Tombstones – a Tree, a Garden, a Grove”: Early Israeli Forests as Environmental Memorials Abstract Te article adds a material-semiotic memory studies perspective to the discussion on the two largest aforestation projects of early Israeli statehood: Ya’ar HaMeginim (Defenders’ Forest) and Ya’ar HaKedoshim (Martyrs’ Forest). Considering the multiplicity of contexts related to mass tree planting practices conducted by the Jewish National Fund in Israel, the article analyses the two arboreal complexes as environmental memorials. As such, they are attributed with narrative agency that strongly associates the object of commemoration with socially constructed pastoral features of nature. Moreover, due to their organic substance, they hold afective and material capacities that signifcantly infuence the commemorative afer-efects. Te two Israeli mnemonic assemblages are examined, and conclusions are drawn on the possible outcomes of environmental memorials for collective memory processes.

They praised our city’s unique character with its historic charm, lively cultural scene, educated workforce, and proximity to natural beauty. Unfortunately, potential wasn’t enough. Investors remained wary of an unpredictable regulatory environment and withheld their capital. Three years ago, Providence residents voted to change that. They gave me and my administration a mandate to bring honesty, predictability, and fiscal responsibility to City Hall.
