Migration of Jews to Palestine in the 20Th Century
Name Date Migration of Jews to Palestine in the 20th Century Read the text below. The Jewish people historically defined themselves as the Jewish Diaspora, a group of people living in exile. Their traditional homeland was Palestine, a geographic region on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Jewish leaders trace the source of the Jewish Diaspora to the Roman occupation of Palestine (then called Judea) in the 1st century CE. Fleeing the occupation, most Jews immigrated to Europe. Over the centuries, Jews began to slowly immigrate back to Palestine. Beginning in the 1200s, Jewish people were expelled from England, France, and central Europe. Most resettled in Russia and Eastern Europe, mainly Poland. A small population, however, immigrated to Palestine. In 1492, when King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella expelled all Jewish people living in Spain, some refugees settled in Palestine. At the turn of the 20th century, European Jews were migrating to Palestine in large numbers, fleeing religious persecution. In Russia, Jewish people were segregated into an area along the country’s western border, called the Pale of Settlement. In 1881, Russians began mass killings of Jews. The mass killings, called pogroms, caused many Jews to flee Russia and settle in Palestine. Prejudice against Jews, called anti-Semitism, was very strong in Germany, Austria-Hungary, and France. In 1894, a French army officer named Alfred Dreyfus was falsely accused of treason against the French government. Dreyfus, who was Jewish, was imprisoned for five years and tried again even after new information proved his innocence. The incident, called The Dreyfus Affair, exposed widespread anti-Semitism in Western Europe. -

THEME: The Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus “Walking With Jesus Every Day” Sermon preached by Jeff Huber April 6-7, 2013 at First United Methodist Church - Durango Luke 24: 28-34 28 By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on, 29 but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them. 30 As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. 31 Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared! 32 They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?” 33 And within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven disciples and the others who had gathered with them, 34 who said, “The Lord has really risen! He appeared to Peter.” VIDEO Walking with Jesus Every Day Sermon Starter SLIDE Walking with Jesus Every Day (Use The Way background) Today we conclude our series of sermons on The Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus.

The Vowel System of Jewish Bukharan Tajik: with Special Reference to the Tajik Vowel Chain Shift
Journal of Jewish Languages 5 (2017) 81–103 brill.com/jjl The Vowel System of Jewish Bukharan Tajik: With Special Reference to the Tajik Vowel Chain Shift Shinji Ido* Graduate School of Humanities, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan [email protected] Abstract The present article describes the vowel chain shift that occurred in the variety of Tajik spoken by Jewish residents in Bukhara. It identifies the chain shift as constituting of an intermediate stage of the Northern Tajik chain shift and accordingly tentatively concludes that in the Northern Tajik chain shift Early New Persian ā shifted before ō did, shedding light on the process whereby the present-day Tajik vowel system was established. The article is divided into three parts. The first provides an explanation of the variety of Tajik spoken by Jewish inhabitants of Bukhara. The second section explains the relationship between this particular variety and other varieties that have been used by Jews in Central Asia. The third section deals specifically with the vowel system of the variety and the changes that it has undergone since the late 19th century. Keywords Tajik – New Persian – vowel system – Judeo-Iranian – Bukharan Tajik – Bukharan Jews Introduction This article is concerned with the vowel system of the variety of Tajik spoken by the Jewish residents in Bukhara. It compares the vowel system of this par- ticular variety with that of the same variety reconstructed based on a century- old text. The comparison shows that the variety likely underwent a vowel chain * The author acknowledges financial support for this research from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research, C #25370490). -

One Woman – Many Transitions
One Woman – Many Transitions Deborah Davidoff from Tashkent, Uzbekistan as a model of the transformations of Bu- kharan Jewish women's dress from the early twentieth century to the middle of the twentiehth century No'am Bar'am-Ben Yossef Senior Curator of Ethnography, The Jewish Art And Life Wing, Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Israel Abstract: Out of the 20,000 photographs documenting dress and lifestyle of various communities in Israel in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem Archives, I chose to focus on the images of Deborah Davidoff who came to Israel (then Palestine) from Tashkent, Uzbekistan through Moscow in 1929. About twenty of her photographs were given to us by her granddaughters. In our archive, it is very rare to come across photographs of one woman depicting several periods in her life, which not only illustrate the changes that occurred in her life, but also manifest the traditions and trends of dress in the regions of Bukhara, Uzbekistan, Russia and Israel among a certain social layer of her community members. This paper will try to show the cultural influences through the changing style of dress of one woman, and the prominent role of the photo archive as means of better understanding our dress collection. Contents: The Archival photos as an Ethnographic Tulle / The Bukharan Jewish Community / Deborah Davidoff – early years / Bukharan Jewry at the End of the Nineteenth Century / Deborah Da- vidoff in her Twenties / The Europeanization Stage / After the Soviet Revolution / Deborah in Jerusalem – Back to Traditional Dress / Acknowledgements / References The Archival photos as an Ethnographic Tulle Among the 20,000 photographs documenting dress and lifestyle of various communities in Israel found at the Photos Archive in the Isidore and Anne Falk Information Center for Jewish Art and Life, it is very rare to come across photographs of one woman depicting several peri- ods in her life, like those of Deborah Davidoff, a Bukharan woman from Uzbekistan. -
