In last week's episode we heard the first part of the historical model which brings a balanced - and therefore entirely new - framework to the past one hundred years of Jews in the land of Israel. To recap part one of our discussion - Professor Francisco Gil-White illustrates for us the documented dynamics on the ground in British Mandate Palestine, one where the voluntary and enthusiastic sale of land to the Jews of the early Yishuv resulted in the increased quality of life for the local Arabs and Jews already living there - so much so that Arab immigration into the land of Israel increased dramatically for those throughout the region seeking better quality and conditions of life.We learned that the Arab elite was far from on board with the creation of an Arab middle class and how that elite worked together with the British to aid and abet terror so savage and overwhelming that it would - and did - threaten the existence of the future fledgling state before it was even realized in its modern formation. We met arch villain Hajj Amin al Husseini, the grand Mufti of Jerusalem whose life and legacy is critical to understanding the continuous conflict from which Israel and the Arab world still cannot escape.  Husseini's strategizing of Arab terror was collated into the PLO we know (and imagine as moderate) today and whose mission has not changed since its inception. Husseini meets with Hitler and the heads of the Nazi movement and becomes their official beneficiary.In the second part of today's discussion, we turn to the second half of that century to understand the origins of the much misused title “Palestine”, the telling changes made to the PLO's charter between 1964 & 1968, Husseini's PLO progeny in Yasser Arafat and the story's connection to Eugenics. These are the rotten fruits of a century of terrorism.Here is Dr Francisco Gil-White in part two of The Final Solution - Reframing One Hundred years in the land of Israel.http://www.hirhome.com/israel/talon-de-aquiles_intro_eng.htmhttp://www.hirhome.com/israel/pal_mov.htmhttps://www.hirhome.com/israel/nazis_palestinians.htmFind Professor Francisco Gil-White's current research at:www.managementofreality.comA Night at the Gardenhttps://anightatthegarden.com/https://www.pbs.org/video/night-garden-qh6mme/ Get full access to Ilana Rachel Daniel at ilanaracheldaniel120.substack.com/subscribe

Today we look back at the history of Palestinian violence against the Jews in Israel (and in the pre-state Yishuv) -- from the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1917 through the myriad efforts to establish a Palestinian Arab State alongside a Jewish State in the 1930s and the 40s. In our discussion today, we follow this pattern all the way through the Second Intifada in the early 2000s, and now today. Each time a war or wave of terror is launched, and Israel perseveres, the Palestinian leadership tries to dictate the terms of what comes next, as though they were the victors in this defensive war, rather than the aggressors and the defeated. Why? And are we seeing that same mindset play out right now? Did Hamas actually think it would defeat Israel with this attack, and Israel would fold to its demands, or possibly even just disappear? To help us understand this important history, Dr. Einat Wilf joins us. Einat was born and raised in Israel. She was an Intelligence Officer in the IDF. She has worked for McKinsey. She was Foreign Policy Advisor to Vice Prime Minister Shimon Peres and an advisor to Yossi Beilin, who was Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. Dr. Wilf was a member of the Israeli Parliament (the Knesset) in the early 2010s, where she served as Chair of the Education Committee and Member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. She has a BA from Harvard, an MBA from INSEAD in France, and a PhD in Political Science from the University of Cambridge. She was a Visiting Professor at Georgetown University and is a lecturer at Reichman University in Israel. Einat is the author of seven books that explore key issues in Israeli society. “We Should All Be Zionists“, published in 2022, brings together her essays from the past four years on Israel, Zionism and the path to peace; and she co-authored “The War of Return: How Western Indulgence of the Palestinian Dream Has Obstructed the Path to Peace”, which was published in 2020.

Il violento attacco del movimento terroristico islamista Hamas contro gli ebrei di Israele, all'alba di sabato 7 ottobre 2023 – oltre 1.400 vittime, tantissimi feriti e 250 ostaggi – non ha precedenti e resterà una data indelebile nella storia dello stato di Israele.In questo primo episodio lo storico contemporaneo Claudio Vercell analizza la questione del territorio arabo-ebraico dall'Ottocento, partendo dalla dissoluzione dell'Impero ottomano che controllava quei territori, fino al protettorato britannico del 1923. Lo storico analizza le origini della convivenza tra comunità arabe musulmane, cristiane ed ebree, spiegando, dal punto di vista storico, il significato della parola sionismo e degli Yishuv, insediamenti ebraici nel territorio che risalgono alla fine dell'Ottocento. Lo storico conclude spiegando come la risoluzione Onu del 1947 che determinò, nel 1948, la nascita di Israele, fu il risultato di un complesso processo storico, che ebbe un ruolo decisivo sul destino di quel territorio arabo-ebraico ancora oggi conteso.In questo podcast, lo storico contemporaneo Claudio Vercelli, racconta le tappe fondamentali della vicenda di Israele. Vercelli ha scritto, per la casa editrice Giuntina, Israele. Storia dello Stato e nella prefazione scrive: “Israele è nel cuore e nelle menti dei contemporanei, suscitando passioni e identificazioni, simpatie ma anche rifiuti e dinieghi. Della sua storia, in Italia, si sa ben poco. Ancor meno sono conosciute le ragioni, gli eventi, i fatti che hanno portato alla nascita dello Stato degli ebrei durante un secolo, il Novecento, che ha visto mutare equilibri profondi”.https://storiainpodcast.focus.it - Canale Le questioni della StoriaA cura di Francesco De Leo.

Shortly after the General Assembly voted on November 29, 1947, to establish Jewish and Arab states in Palestine, Chaim Weizmann declared that states are not given to peoples on a silver platter—and that the Jews would have to fight to establish theirs. Indeed, the Yishuv, backed by the Zionist movement, fought a War of Independence beginning the day after the UN decision, when the Arabs of Palestine responded with anger and violence. The war did not end until early 1949. In this episode, Dr. Polisar breaks down the two phases of the conflict—the “civil war” pitting the Arabs of Palestine against the Yishuv from November 1947 to May 1948; and the war against the five Arab countries that invaded Palestine in May 1948 with the aim of preventing the birth of the Jewish state. In addition to examining the causes and consequences of Israel's victory, Dr. Polisar also covers the Isrel's Declaration of Independence, read aloud by David Ben-Gurion on May 14, 1948 just hours before the British Mandate formally ended. Supplemental Materials:  A series of essays by Martin Kramer on Israel's Declaration of Independence.  "Podcast: Neil Rogachevsky and Dov Zigler on the Political Philosophy of Israel's Declaration of Independence."

In response to growing Jewish immigration, land purchases, and economic expansion, the Arabs of Palestine engaged in mounting violence in 1920-21, 1929, and 1936-1939. In each case, Great Britain responded by retreating from its promise to facilitate a Jewish national home. In the first two cases, Zionist counter-pressure, led by Chaim Weizmann, succeeded in getting Britain to return to its commitments, but in 1939 Britain, seeking to appease the Arabs on the eve of World War Two, issued a White Paper effectively reneging on the Balfour Declaration. The Yishuv, the Jewish community of Palestine, buttressed by waves of immigration driven by escalating anti-Semitism in Europe, used these two decades of British rule to establish the foundations of a Jewish state. This episode describes the escalating Arab violence, the evolution of British appeasement, and the efforts of the Jews to reverse the British retreat and to build economic, social, and political institutions that could serve as the nucleus for their state.

World War Two, fought from 1939 to 1945, brought about a changed geopolitical reality in the world as a whole and in Palestine, which radically changed the interests of the British, the Zionist movement and the Yishuv, and the Arabs of Palestine. As a result of these factors, coupled with decisions made by the leadership of each of these three actors, the British decided to hand over the Palestine Mandate to the newly formed United Nations. Despite the forces working within the UN to prevent the establishment of a Jewish state, three sets of decision-makers—Stalin in the Soviet Union, the members of the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine, and President Harry Truman of the United States—came out in favor of partitioning Palestine and creating a Jewish state in just over half its territory, and they paved the way for the UN Partition Resolution of November 1947. In this episode, Dr. Polisar analyzes the changes brought about by World War Two and the decisions made by the key actors within Palestine and outside of it that, collectively, made it possible for the UN to carry out a policy that revived the prospects for establishing a Jewish state only eight years after the British had seemed to dash those hopes permanently.

Hillel Cohen discusses his new book on Mizrahim, Arabs, and Asheknazim in Israel The prominence of Mizrahi Jews as perpetrators of violent acts against Palestinians that have topped the headlines in recent years was the starting point of my recent study. The media coverage and public denunciation of these incidents are usually accompanied by reference to the attackers' Mizrahi origins, frequently invoking controversy among the commentators: Does ‘Mizrahi culture' generate excessive violence towards Palestinians? Are the Israeli media racist, denouncing Mizrahi Jews more than they do others? Or maybe this violence has to do with class and religious perceptions rather than ethnic origin? In this talk I will start with suggesting a definition to Mizrahi acts, i.e., what makes a certain act or view (violent or otherwise) to be defined as ‘Mizrahi'; then move on to present Mizrahi views and acts regarding the ‘Palestinian Question' from the outset of Zionism to present. The changes over time will be discussed in the light of the influence of the Ashkenazi-Zionist hegemony over Mizrahim and Arabs alike, as well as vis-à-vis Palestinian acts and ideas regarding ethnic relations within the Yishuv and the Jewish society in Israel.

First Yishuv of Talmidei HaBesht עליית תלמידי הבעש״ט (1777)

Rav Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky (1867-1948) was the rabbi of the Eidah Chareidis community in Yerushalayim & headed the branch of Agudas Yisrael in that country for 15 crucial and tumultuous years. Having grown up in Hungary, he had previously served as rabbi of Galanta and Chust (Slovakia) for four decades. In Yerushalayim he oversaw the sweeping changes which were taking place in the Yishuv with immigration, the Great Arab Revolt, the policies of the British Mandatory government, World War II, the Holocaust, the UN Partition Resolution and the founding of the State of Israel. As a responsible and outspoken leader, Rav Dushinsky courageously led his community through this unique era, and aside from his rabbinical duties - along with his position as rosh yeshiva in the yeshiva which he founded - he took an active political role as well. Ultimately the changing demographics due to the immigration of more moderate Agudists from Poland in Germany led to a split between the Eidah Chareidis and Agudas Yisrael, which was overseen by Rav Dushinsky and remains to this very day. Following his passing in 1948 he was succeeded by his only son Rav Yisroel Moshe Dushinsky (1921-2003), who built the Dushinsky community around the yeshiva and transformed it from an Ashkenaz Oberland community into a full Chassidic court.   For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:  PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Harold MacMichael culmina su periodo como alto comisionado en Palestina luego de 6 años y medio, un periodo marcado por un cambio en la política británica, que pasó de apoyar ampliamente las aspiraciones sionistas a bloquearlas, como respuesta a una violencia intercomunal insostenible. Como parte de este cambio, MacMichael supervisó la implementación del Libro Blanco de 1939, el cual ampliamente restringía la migración judía y las compras de tierra en Palestina. En 1942, denegó la entrada a Palestina a 800 judíos refugiados en el barco SS Struma. Cuando el barco se hundió en el Mar Negro, probablemente al ser interceptado por un torpedo de un submarino ruso, muchos en el Yishuv mantuvieron a MacMichael como el responsable de las aproximadas 800 muertes. Miembros de la organización de defensa subterránea Lochamei Herut Yisrael, atentaron contra su vida varias veces. MacMichael también enfureció a los judíos en Palestina a causa de políticas económicas que se enfocaron en las necesidades de la población árabe pero no las de la población judía. Renunció luego de que su esposa sufriera una lesión durante un intento fallido de asesinato.

El compositor Leonard Bernstein nació en Lawrence, Massachusetts, de padres ucranianos judíos. Fue director de orquestas alrededor del mundo, incluyendo la Filarmónica de Nueva York. Comenzó a tocar el piano a la edad de 10 años y fue reconocido rápidamente como un niño prodigio. Además de sus intereses musicales, Bernstein fue influenciado a muy temprana edad por la sinagoga pro-sionista a la cual asistía en Boston. Realizó su primer viaje a Palestina en 1947, por lo que respondió al clamor del público para que dirigiera la Orquesta Sinfónica de Palestina en un tour por ciudades y establecimientos en el Yishuv. Bernstein viajó frecuentemente a Israel y condujo muchos conciertos, incluyendo el afamado concierto en Mount Scopus luego de la guerra de junio de 1967 y el retorno de esa parte de Jerusalén al control israelí. En 1988, La Filarmónica de Israel nombró a Bernstein como director laureado.

Aryeh Feigenbaum nació en Leópolis, Polonia en 1895. Estudió para convertirse en rabino, pero luego descubrió su pasión por la medicina. Se mudó a Palestina en 1913 y se convirtió en un oftalmólogo. Feigenbaum logró liderar el departamento de oftalmología en la nueva Agencia Judía de Salud en Jerusalén. Una pequeña colección de literatura médica fue publicada en Yishuv, pero ningún periódico sobre medicina existió en hebreo hasta que Feigenbaum, unido a otros doctores, creó la Harefuah. Su objetivo fue “reforzar y coordinar los esfuerzos dedicados a la medicina del país y colaborar con doctores fuera de Palestina; para dar un valor nacional como también humanitario al trabajo médico; preparar una tierra nativa para los científicos judíos; y ayudar en la creación de la Universidad Hebrea.” El periódico es aún publicado cada mes por la Asociación Médica de Israel y es distribuido de forma gratuita a sus miembros.

La arqueóloga israelí nacida en Gran Bretaña, Claire Epstein, falleció a la edad de 88 años. Participó en varios estudios arqueológicos en Israel, particularmente descubriendo la cultura del Periodo de la Edad de Cobre (4500 al 3300 a.c.). Antes de dedicarse a la arqueología, Epstein estuvo involucrada en el Movimiento Sionista Laborista, trabajando para el Comité Ejecutivo de la unión laborista de Histadrut. En 1942, se alistó a la unidad militar británica de mujeres, convirtiéndose en la primera mujer en ser sargento mayor del Yishuv en Palestina. Comenzó su trabajo arqueológico en Susita, una antigua ciudad romana cerca del Kibbutz Ein Gev, como asistente del afamado arqueólogo Michael Avi-Yona. Ambos se dedicaron a descubrir la Catedral Bizantina. Luego de este descubrimiento en los 1950s, Claire se dedicó a obtener un Ph.D. y se convirtió en una figura principal para la Autoridad de Antigüedades de Israel.

Mitzvas Yishuv Eretz Yisroel (Massei 5782)

Netiva Ben Yehuda, miembro de Palmach, reconocida feminista israelí, aclamada escritora y personalidad de los medios de comunicación, nació en Tel Aviv decendiente de padre Lituano y de madre de Ucraniana. En 1947, Ben Yehuda se unió a la élite Palmach de Haganah, que defendió a los judíos en Yishuv en contra del contrabando de miles de inmigrantes de Europa producto de la ley británica. Luchó en la guerra de la independencia y se convirtió en un oficial en las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel. Sin embargo, gran parte de su lucha pública ocurrió sobre el idioma hebreo. Como editora independiente, abogó por el uso escrito del lenguaje hablado y la jerga divertida e inventiva de sus días en el Palmach. Ella y su compañero veterano de Palmach, Dahn, Ben Amotz, publicaron el irreverente "The World Dictionary of Hebrew Slang" en 1972. Ben Yehuda regresó a sus experiencias militares entre 1981 y 1991 publicando su trilogía Palmach: "1948 entre los calendarios"; "A través de las cuerdas de unión"; y "cuando estalló la guerra". Presentó una historia que describió la narrativa heroica de la fundación y expuso el sexismo del Palmach. Se desempeñó como editora de la Enciclopedia Hebraica y como portavoz del Ministerio de Trabajo. En 1996 comenzó a organizar un show semanal de charla de la noche.

Miembros de una organización de defensa judía, el Irgun bombardearon la sede administrativa británica en Palestina, con sede en el Hotel King David en Jerusalén. Murieron noventa y una personas; entre ellos había veintiocho británicos, cuarenta y un árabes y diecisiete judíos. El objetivo del Irgun era expulsar a los británicos de Palestina. Los británicos decidieron retirarse seis meses después, cuando entregaron Palestina a las Naciones Unidas. El Irgun fue fundado en 1931 por Vladimir "Ze'ev" Jabotinsky, quien creía firmemente que la Haganah (organización de defensa oficial del Yishuv) no era lo suficientemente agresiva con los británicos. Menahem Begin, primer ministro de Israel de 1977 a 1982, fue uno de los primeros líderes del Irgun. Como comandante del Irgun en 1943, se cree que Begin fue responsable de planificar y ejecutar el ataque al hotel King David. El ataque fue condenado por David Ben-Gurion, quien se desempeñaba como jefe de la Agencia Judía en ese momento expresando a un periódico francés que el Irgun era enemigo del pueblo judío. En junio de 1948, el Irgun se disolvió y se convirtió en parte del ejército israelí que defendía a Israel en la Guerra de la Independencia.

Nacido en Holanda en 1881, Eliezer Siegfried Hoofien fue un experto que asesoró durante casi 50 años al gobierno Israelí en finanzas y en políticas bancarias. Después de desempeñarse como director de la oficina de Colonia de la Oficina Central Sionista, Hoofien emigró a la Palestina controlada por los otomanos en 1912. Guió diligentemente al Yishuv con su experiencia fiscal y ayudó a sentar las bases para el futuro económico del Estado de Israel. Al llegar a Palestina, su primer trabajo fue como subdirector del Anglo-Palestine Bank, que fue fundado en 1902, llegando a ser en 1925 su director general. Uno de sus logros importantes en este cargo fue financiar el desarrollo del joven puerto de Tel Aviv controlado por judíos a mediados de la década de 1930. Fue construido en un momento en que los enfrentamientos entre árabes y judíos provocaron protestas de los trabajadores en el puerto de Jaffa, poniendo fin de manera efectiva al acceso de los judíos a él. Muchos atribuyen al proyecto de Hoofien la seguridad de la precaria situación económica del Yishuv y el acceso a los mercados europeos y norteafricanos. Hoofien fue un excelente ejemplo de jóvenes profesionales judíos que aportaron su experiencia al desarrollo del hogar nacional judío.

Ruben Adler, más conocido por su alias "cosmopolita desarraigado" o "babel", nos introduce en este episodio en un maravilloso y dramático momento de la historia judía: los decenios previos a la creación del Estado de Israel. A comienzos de los años 20 del siglo XX los primeros ataques de pobladores árabes a las colonias judías llevan a las autoridades de Yishuv a comenzar a crear grupos de autodefensa (y luego de ataque) para enfrentar a estos grupos. El primer grupo en crearse fue la Haganá, luego surgió el Irgun, el Palmaj y finalmente el Leji. Estos grupos "paramilitares" judíos tenían también sus propias diferencias ideológicas ¿Se debía enfrentar a los árabes o a los ingleses? ¿Debían ser solo grupos de defensa o también de ataque? Ruben Adler no lleva con sus conocimientos y algunos datos poco conocidos a conocer de más cerca a estos grupos y especialmente a algunos de sus líderes más prominentes: Zeev Jabotinsky, Menajem Beguin e Yair Stern. Un episodio que dará que hablar.

Ubicado a unas veinte millas al sureste de Tel-Aviv, el Kibbutz Givat Brenner fue establecido por inmigrantes de Lituania, Italia y Alemania. Trabajando originalmente como trabajadores en las comunidades agrícolas circundantes, los miembros fundadores de Givat Brenner establecieron una infraestructura agrícola e industrial para el kibutz. Givat Brenner, que produce una variedad de productos, desde textiles hasta mermeladas de frutas, creció hasta convertirse en uno de los kibutzim más grandes del Yishuv. El kibutz desarrolló una fundición de metales avanzada y produjo numerosos productos especializados que se exportaron a todo el mundo. Estos incluyen las cajas de metal que albergan los teléfonos de emergencia a lo largo de la autopista de peaje de Nueva Jersey. Givat Brenner, que significa "colina Brenner", lleva el nombre de una de las figuras literarias más destacadas del Yishuv, Yosef Haim Brenner. Al emigrar en 1909, fue el mejor escritor de la Tierra de Israel en su tiempo y ayudó a traer el centro de la literatura judía de Europa a Palestina. Hoy, Givat Brenner continúa produciendo una amplia gama de productos. Además de cultivar aguacates, trigo, maíz y algodón, tiene una granja lechera, un club de jazz, un vivero de plantas y una planta de césped.

Chaim Boger, fue fundador de la primera escuela secundaria hebrea en el Yishuv, el área de asentamiento judío ubicada en la Palestina anterior al estado. Nació en Crimea en 1876, y su apellido Bograshov, se hizo escuchar desde el sexto al vigésimo de los Congresos Sionistas y fue uno de los líderes de Sionists for Zion, un movimiento opuesto a la propuesta británica de crear una patria judía en el este de África. Hizo aliá en 1906. Originalmente llamado HaGymnasia Halvrit, Boger llevó el joven Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium, inaugurado en Jaffa en 1905, a la recién fundada ciudad de Tel Aviv a mediados de 1909. Boger sirvió en la escuela hasta 1951. Formó parte del liderazgo de la Unión de Sionistas Generales y representó al partido en la segunda Knesset de 1951 a 1955 y sirvió en los comités de educación y anti-misioneros de la Knesset. La calle Bograshov y la playa Bograshov de Tel Aviv, al pie de la calle, reciben su nombre en honor a Boger. Finalmente, Boger murió a los 86 años.

Para la época en la que existían grandes tensiones bélicas en la región, el primer ministro Eshkol nombró a Moshe Dayan como su ministro de Defensa a tan solo cuatro días del comienzo de la guerra de 1967. Dayan había servido en la Haganá, la fuerza militar anterior al estado del Yishuv, sirvió en la guerra de Independencia de Israel y actuó como Jefe de Estado Mayor del ejército durante la exitosa victoria sobre Egipto en 1956; experiencias que fueron aumentando su conocimiento y capacidad en la estrategia militar de Israel. Su nombramiento, políticamente, fue parte de una estrategia del gobierno para acercar a los partidos de la oposición en un momento de gran emergencia. Apenas unos días después de su nuevo cargo, junto con el general Yitzhak Rabin, que más tarde sería el primer ministro, Israel capturó la península del Sinaí y Gaza de Egipto, Cisjordania y partes de Jerusalén de Jordania y los Altos del Golán de Siria. Dayan continúo sirviendo como Ministro de Defensa hasta el final del mandato de Golda Meir en abril de 1974. Dayan regresó al servicio gubernamental como Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores en junio de 1977.

TFJ: The Birth of Israel  Series 2 Episode 5   The Partition Plan which would have enabled the creation of a Jewish State was not looking promising.  The American State Department was adamantly opposed, dampening President Truman's support. The Soviet's were in favor of partition, which presented a rare opportunity as with the Soviets came their satellite countries. It would take Dr. Chaim Weizmann with all of his wisdom and charm to convince President Truman to vote for partition and put the United States' weight behind it.  After the motion for Jewish statehood passed in the UN, there was rejoicing in Israel and in Jewish communities throughout the world. The Arab reaction was a wave of lethal violence. The Yishuv began making hasty preparations for war. The Etzion Block in the Hebron hills south of Jerusalem was besieged by Arab guerrillas. A relief column of 35 of Hebrew University's brightest students never made it to their comrades and were killed and mutilated by Khader el Husseini's soldiers.    Edited and Produced by Alex Drucker  Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com  Don't forget to subscribe, like and share!

El pionero sionista revisionista Zeev Jabotinsky creía que la disolución del imperio otomano era necesaria para establecer un estado judío en Palestina y que una fuerza judía que luchara junto con los aliados en la Primera Guerra Mundial ganaría favor de los sionistas. Él fue a Alejandría, Egipto para encontrarse con los refugiados judíos que habían sido expulsados de Palestina en 1914, uno de los cuales fue Joseph Trumpeldor, quien tuvo una extensa experiencia militar en Rusia. Trumpeldor y Jabotinsky impulsaron a 500 hombres para la unidad que estaba por formarse, y después de un corto período de entrenamiento, la legión judía fue enviada a Turquía a finales de abril de 1915, para participar en la batalla de Galípoli, lo que llevó a los británicos a formar finalmente una brigada judía oficial. La experiencia luchando en la Primera Guerra Mundial ayudaría a muchos sionistas a desarrollar prácticas de seguridad y grupos militantes en el Yishuv.

En Salónica, la conferencia de Sionistas Griegos adoptó una resolución que declaraba que la educación judía en las escuelas locales de la Alianza Israelita Universal tenía que concentrarse más en la enseñanza del pensamiento sionista. Si bien la historia judía se cubrió en el plan de estudios, el sionismo y el hebreo moderno no. Las escuelas de Salónica, después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, se vieron sometidas a una creciente presión para seguir las normas de las comunidades judías en todo el mundo sefardí y asquenazí, que se identificaban cada vez más con las aspiraciones políticas sionistas y el nacionalismo judío. La Conferencia de Sionistas Griegos logró presionar a la escuela para que enseñara a los estudiantes sobre el Yishuv judío en Palestina y el hebreo moderno.

La Fundación de la Aliya de la Juventud rescató a más de 11.000 niños judíos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y se convirtió en uno de los programas emblemáticos de la Organización Hadassah para rescatar a niños judíos de varias partes del mundo y llevarlos a Israel. La idea del programa se originó en 1932 cuando Recha Freier, una sionista alemana, envió a la fundadora de Hadassah, Henrietta Szold, una carta en la que describía un plan para llevar a los jóvenes judíos de Alemania a Palestina para escapar del creciente antisemitismo. Szold inicialmente rechazó la propuesta, porque estaba preocupada por los problemas sociales y financieros del Yishuv. Sin embargo, a medida que las condiciones empeoraron en Alemania y Europa, la organización de Freier obtuvo más apoyo, lo que empujó a Szold a comprometer recursos para atraer jóvenes a Palestina.

El Instituto de Formación para Enfermeras del Hospital Rothschild en Jerusalén, graduó a las primeras ventidós mujeres que recibieron un título en enfermería en el Yishuv, asentamiento judío en Palestina. La creciente población en la Palestina de 1920 carecía de acceso para el cuidado de su salud; brotes de malaria y la falta de una infraestructura médica moderna fueron factores que impulsaron el fortalecimiento del Instituto, convirtiéndose en un promotor de innovación para el mundo de Oriente, durante un momento en el cual había pocos trabajadores de salud y escasas oportunidades para las mujeres. Para agosto de 1940 doscientas setenta y seis mujeres judías, entre inmigrantes y nacidas palestinas, recibieron sus títulos con altos estándares formativos.

Was it un-frum to move to Israel and work for a living in the 19th century?

Shalom, Welcome to the Jewish Yogi podcast with Emily Herzfeld. This week's nosh of an episode focuses on Parshat Vayeira and the story of Avraham and the Akeidah, when Avraham brings his son as a sacrifice. A significant response in the story helps us to learn the value of mindfulness. Yoga can help us with this. #parshatvayeira #thejewishyogi #modahjewishyoga #mindfulness #meditation #pranayama #yishuvhadaat #savasana #beherenow #hineni #Avraham

El 17 de octubre de 1880, nació Ze'ev Vladimir Jabotinsky, en Odessa, Ucrania. Ze'ev fue un destacado líder sionista, escritor, orador, periodista y soldado. A sus 23 años fue profundamente conmovido por los sangrientos ataques en contra de los judíos de Odessa y Kishinev. Este suceso fue conocido como el Pogromo de Kishinev, e influenció la ideología de Ze'ev, enfocada en la auto-defensa y el militarismo judío como algo fundamental para la misión sionista. Jabotinsky fue crucial para la creación de la Legión Judía del Ejército Británico durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, y ayudó a organizar las fuerzas de defensa judía que protegían a los miembros del Yishuv. Además de su participación en el establecimiento del Keren Hayesod, Jabotinsky también creó el Movimiento Juvenil Betar, el cual fue importante en la enseñanza del idioma hebreo, la cultura, la autodefensa, y el establecimiento del núcleo del partido moderno Likud. Se dedicó a traer a inmigrantes judíos a Israel, a veces de manera clandestina, a pesar de las crecientes restricciones por parte del gobierno británico. Jabotinsky dejó un legado intelectual de miles de trabajos y documentos: correspondencia, discursos, artículos publicados, panfletos y libros. Jabotinsky falleció en Nueva York en 1940 y no alcanzó a ver el cumplimiento de su sueño: ver la creación del estado judío. Más info en: www.hoyenlahistoriadeisrael.com

Henry Morgenthau, el embajador de los Estados Unidos en el Imperio Otomano, nació dentro de una familia judía alemana que emigró a Nueva York. Viajó a Palestina en 1914, donde vio la difícil situación que atravesaba la comunidad judía. Temeroso de que la Primera Guerra Mundial limitara los fondos que provenían de los judíos europeos al Yishuv, el Embajador Morgenthau envió un telegrama al líder judío americano Jacob Schiff y el destacado líder judío Louis Marshall, quienes recaudaron $50.000 dólares para el Yishuv en tan sólo dos días, actualmente esta cifra es equivalente a $1.3 millones aproximadamente. El dinero llegó en lingotes de oro a Jaffa mediante un barco naval americano, el USS Carolina del Norte. Más info en: www.hoyenlahistoriadeisrael.com

With the onset of the First Aliyah in the 1880's, and the beginnings of Jewish agricultural settlements as a result, the issue of how to observe Shmita came to the fore. Most of the original colonies were funded and managed by Baron Edmund De Rothschild, and he and his managers weren't too keen on having the farmers disengage from agricultural activities for an entire year. The leaders of the Chovevei Zion movement sought a way to resolve the issue and the original 'Heter Mechira' was formulated. With the tacit support of Rav Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor, the land was sold to a non-Jew for the duration of the shmita year. Most of the colonies availed themselves of the Heter Mechira. The Ekron-Mazkeret Batya settlement decided to follow the ruling of the Jerusalem rabbinate and observe shmita in its ideal form. The Baron and his managers saw this as a revolt, and accused them of being lazy, but they held steadfast. The ensuing tension and struggle would set the stage for both shmita observance as well as the overall religious-secular tensions of the Yishuv for decades to come.   For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:    PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/   Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

In the second week of the Sefirah Series, we will (1) "meditate" on the Midas Gevurah, (2) discuss the meaning of the next 7 "Kinyanei Torah" (modes of Torah acquisition) enumerated in Pirkei Avos 6:6, from "Anavah" to "Yishuv," and (3) address the following question: Is the fact that the deaths of Rebbi Akiva's students coincided with Sefirah in fact a mere coincidence?

Some thoughts about a book I saw today about Reform Judaism and Dutch Jewry

Presenting a new Shiur that mines ancient texts for illuminating new understanding and relevance!The following is a letter from Rabbi Kivelevitz the host of the program.Shalom Ubracha-It is quite unnecessaryto state here how stressful the last few months have been.AsKlal Yisroel places an immeasurable value on learning and intellectual growth, many of us have weathered this storm by entrenching ourselves deeper into our rich literary heritage, discovering insight and inspiration and using the pause of hustle bustle activity to savor new texts and articulate probing questions. The tools of teleconferencing have generated thebrachaof wide attendance inShiurimand access to the world's finest Torah teachers. Energized by these positives, I am humbly offering to partner with all of you on a venture of discovery.Over twenty-five years ago, I listenedwith rapt attention as Professor Haym Soloveichick eulogized his father. He said theRambam,Maimonides, was theGirsa DaYankusaof his father, which the prodigygrew up memorizing like nursery rhymes, with all ofMishna Torahetched in his memory and flowing easily from his lip.However,it wasin that otherMoshe, Nachmanides,that the elder Soloveichickdiscovered his intellectual approach and soul.It can be assumed that Rav Soloveichick's flowering as the premier Talmudist of our times was built in great part by contrasting the words of each of these Medieval teachers in areas they had both worked on, or whereRambanlevels his often withering criticism ofRambam's position.There are scores of examples throughout Shas,and in particular in the work Nachmanides dedicated to staking his disagreements with his Egyptian counterpart-Hasagosto theRambam'sSefer HaMitzvos.In his classic toweringPerushonChumash,Rambanforcefully attacks many ofRambam's explanations ofmitzvosand interpretations of biblical events.In the coming weeks, we can together discover anew these diamond like gems ofcodification, inquiry analysis and poetic barbsthat issued from these giants.....-armed with the salient texts, and buoyed by an enthusiasm to discover, I relish the prospect of learning with you.

Rabbis Kivelevitz and Bechhofer -respond to listeners' comments and critique of Rischa Daraiisa 23 where halachic and sociological rationale was offered for not moving to Eretz Yisroel.The conversation becomes quite heated with the Rabbis arguing over the meaning of the Ramban and Rabbeinu Chaim Kohen's positions.Whether Rav Moshe Feinstein's defense of the Rambam's reason for not counting Yishiv Eretz Yisroel as a Mitzvah, is considered a sufficient explanation for the entrenchment of Diaspora Jewry is similarly debated.The Rabbis agree on why Tzitzis,despite being a Mitzvah Kiyimus ,has been virtually accepted as if it is binding on all males.Kivelevitz elaborates why a similar mindset has not taken root for living in Eretz Yisroel.Bechhofer's insistence on a person pursuing the status of a Mashpia,and staying in the place where they are being marbitz Torah, is countered by Kivelevitz by the examples of Rav Elyashiv Zt''l and Rav Chaim Kanyevski Shlita who shunned public positions.The pair discuss the differences and risks between youthful and older immigrants to Eretz Yisroel with scientific data indicating how risky a move at a later age can be if not buoyed by support from an institution or a healthy retirement fund.Bechhofer puts Kivelevitz on the defensive for being evasive and equivocal in his own explanation of why he hasn't picked up stakes and headed Mizrach,at one point comparing him to former President Bill Clinton.He further assails him for harboring over romantic delusions of grandeur for thinking that he would have written important scholarly works had he lived in Eretz Yisroel through the years.Kivelevitz reminds his co-host how the ultimate imperatives of constant Torah study and Dveikus to God are more accessible in that environment.and how he is certain that he would have discovered kindred spirits and mivakshei daas who shared his love of honest textual analysis.Reading from his letter to another listener,Kivelevitz states, "...despite the uglypolarizationthat seems to perpetuate exponentially into the social fabric of the Medinah,a strong unifying senseof shared victim hood consistently rises to the top during crisis and reveals greater bonds.....cogent Limud HaTorah will always shatter partitions and make externals irrelevant..."Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comTo find out more about our podcastsvisityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hizky Shoham discusses the 'emotionologies' surrounding the Nazi-Zionist 'Transfer agreement.' Are boycotts emotional outbursts or practical political tools? The proposed paper looks at the emotional aspects of the public debate that raged in Jewish Palestine in the 1930s about the Nazi-Zionist agreement, in order to suggest a theory of boycotts as emotional scripts. The Ha'avara ('transfer') agreement enabled Jews to leave Germany and take some of their assets with them, in the form of German goods to be sold in Palestine, therefore breaking the worldwide anti-Nazi boycott. Drawing on contemporary media and archival sources and comparative studies about boycotts and 'buy national' campaigns, I analyze the discourse on emotions in the public debate about the agreement. Rather than so-called ‘practical' politics, the debate focused on various emotions such as humiliation, fear, anger, and vengeance, their role in politics, and the right way to contain or release them. The emotionology (as defined by historians Peter and Carol Stearns) of Zionist pride prescribed ‘practicability' as a demonstration of restraint and respectability, and denounced the anti-Nazi boycott movement as ‘exilic' Jewish submissiveness. Nonetheless, this emotionology did not fit the actual ability of the Jewish public to contain the harsh emotions. Under the guise of “buy national” campaigns, anti-German feeling was channeled into an effective boycott of the Templers, a small German community living in Palestine since the nineteenth century. Based on Theodor Sarbin's theory of emotions as cognitive schemes, the paper suggests theorizing boycotts as political dramas whose ‘effectivity' depends mainly on their emotional scripting. Bio: Hizky Shoham's works consist of anthropological history and sociology of Zionism, the Yishuv, and Israel; and cultural theory. He is a senior lecturer in the Interdisciplinary Program for Hermeneutics and Cultural Studies, and co-director of the Center for Cultural Sociology, Bar Ilan University, Israel; and a research fellow in the Kogod Institute for Advanced Jewish Studies at the Shalom Hartman institute in Jerusalem. His publications include Carnival in Tel Aviv: Purim and the Celebration of Urban Zionism (Academic Studies Press, 2014); and Israel Celebrates: Festivals and Civic Culture in Israel (Brill, 2017).

From the first arrival of the Chassidic group to Tverya in 1777, through the Aliya of the students of the Vilna Gaon in the early years of the 19th century, and right up until modern times, the Chaluka system was the lifeline of support for the Old Yishuv. How were the funds collected and distributed? What constituted the "Old Yishuv"? Under which criteria was one eligible for this financial support, and were those conditions met? How long did it last? What were some of the long term societal effects on the community of recipients, as well as on the community of donors back in Europe? Exploring the context of these questions and others will give a clearer understanding of a financial support system whose echoes remain till this very day.

With his appointment as Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, and subsequently of all of British controlled Palestine, Rav Avraham Yitzchok Hakohen Kook (1875-1935) transitioned into his most active period in the public sphere. While garnering much support and staving off the opposition, he managed to build and accomplish in many areas of Jewish life. Along with other Rabbis, he became a primary architect of the Rabbanut to regulate religious life in the "Yishuv", he invested much in Yeshivas and Jewish education, developed working -albeit often times strained- relationships with officials in the British Government, and managed to build bridges with the secular Zionist leadership as well.

48 Kinyanei Torah 08, Yishuv and Mikra & Mishna, by Rav Dovid Gottlieb How important is dilligence, a calm environment, and a culture of learning to your growth in Torah? Are Tanach and Mishna necessary to become a Talmid Chacham? Why are they - especially Tanach - considered controversial in many yeshivot?

Hannah Senesh, Haviva Reik, and the only rescue mission sent to Europe by the Yishuv.

The 1930's saw the hate triangle of Arabs, British and Jews explode into an unprecedented scale of violence known as the Arab Revolt. The revolt brought on yet another cycle of repression and political concessions, and it split the Jews of the Yishuv over the question of whether restraint or retaliation was the proper response to Arab violence. Meanwhile, as violence spirals in the land of Israel, and Jews argue with one another, the darkness of Nazi Germany has begun to cast its shadow over Europe.

In the 1930's the ideological divides between the Revisionist and Labor Zionists grew, and cracks began to appear within the community of the Yishuv. Meanwhile, pressure on European Jewry was increasing with the rise of Nazi Germany. When you put these two processes together, the potential is nothing short of explosive.

Patterns are hard things to break, and we can learn much about ourselves by how they come about. Here is a look at the cycle of riots which rocked the Yishuv in the 1920's, and set the mold for Arab/Jewish relations for decades to come.

Yishuv Eretz Yisroel (Lech Lecha 5770)

The Palestine national movement is left reeling after the rebellion is crushed by the British and Yishuv. The Zionist movements strategy of simultaneously collaborating with and subverting the British is paying off, as the British provide training and combat experience to the same militias that will soon wage war to drive them out. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern Jews are failing in their decades long effort to mediate peace between the settlers and the indigenous population. Palestinian attacks on Jews are no longer differentiating between Middle Eastern Jews and the European settlers. These Jews, long denied leadership positions within the Yishuv, are increasingly welcomed into the Zionist movement as spies and terrorists. As the British abandon Palestine, the Yishuv acts swiftly to establish a fortress state of Jewish hegemony. The Movements is a leftist history and politics podcast.

Palestine is erupting and the British struggle to maintain control. While the Jewish economy rapidly develops, the fellahin move to the cities as wage laborers in greater numbers. Working class Palestinians and Middle Eastern Jews co-habitate in mixed cities, but the political struggle between the Zionist settlers and the Palestinian masses is becoming increasingly vicious. The efforts to mediate between European Jews and the non-Jewish Palestinians are failing, as Palestinian capital looks to Europe for an ally against the British and Jews. Suddenly, the Palestinian masses rise up and rapidly build a sustained, long-term rebellion. The Haganah align themselves with the British to put down an indigenous uprising as the Yishuv begins making preparations for a mass “transfer” of Palestinians out of Palestine.
