ABSTRACT This paper illustrates the possibility of gaining meaningful insights into a place by exploring its relationship with its surroundings. A model is suggested for examining the possible significances of this relationship and the actual meanings attributed to it by those who plan and use the place. The site analyzed here is Sidnā ‘Alī, an Islamic shrine on Israel’s Mediterranean coast. Sidnā ‘Alī, which has been a pilgrimage site for centuries, was abandoned during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War; it was renovated in the late 1980s by Muslim Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel. The paper discusses the social mobilization for the renovation of the old mosque as a prelude to exploring the meanings of Sidnā ‘Alī’s relationships with the surrounding landscapes, places and buildings. The study of the social function of the renovation campaign focuses on its role in unifying the people involved and on forging a collective identity based on the shared struggle to return the site to Muslim hands. The spatial interpretation presented examines the renovation project as a form of Palestinian, Arab and Islamic resistance to the covert and overt Zionist hegemony in the public space.

ABSTRACT This study explores how and why Moshe Dayan became the symbol of the modern Israeli hero in American culture. Through an examination of variegated evidence it is possible to discern patterns that illustrate the ways Dayan’s image crystallized, first, in the American Jewish arena, and then more broadly, in wider American public consciousness. With his trademark eye patch and irreverent personal style, Dayan, who more than any Israeli military-political figure captured the imagination of American Jewry, became not only the most recognizable sabra on the American scene but also a chief exemplar of the “new Jew.” Beginning with the War of Independence (1947–49) until roughly the Six-Day War (1967), Dayan symbolized Israel’s youthful, virile, and savvy hero struggling to build a home against all odds. From the Yom Kippur War (1973) to the Camp David Accords (1978) and his death, he came to exemplify a generation of Israelis who wrestled with the Jewish state’s existential geopolitical challenges. Investigating Dayan’s public persona enhances our understanding of his impact on the American arena – the man and the myth – and the ideational linkages so critical to the developing bond between the United States and Israel in the second half of the twentieth century.
摘要本文探讨摩西·达扬如何以及为什么成为美国文化中现代以色列英雄的象征。通过对各种证据的研究，我们有可能发现一些模式，说明达扬的形象是如何形成的，首先是在美国犹太人的舞台上，然后是更广泛的，在更广泛的美国公众意识中。戴着他标志性的眼罩和不拘一格的个人风格，达扬比任何以色列军事政治人物都更能抓住美国犹太人的想象力，他不仅成为美国舞台上最知名的军刀，也是“新犹太人”的主要典范。从1947 - 1949年的独立战争开始，一直到大约1967年的六日战争，达扬象征着以色列年轻、刚强、精明的英雄，他不顾一切努力建立一个家园。从1973年的赎罪日战争(Yom Kippur War)到1978年的《戴维营协议》(Camp David Accords)，再到他的去世，他成为了与犹太国家存在的地缘政治挑战作斗争的一代以色列人的典范。调查达扬的公众形象有助于我们更好地理解他对美国舞台的影响——人与神话——以及对20世纪下半叶美国和以色列关系发展至关重要的观念联系。

ABSTRACT To date, scholars have not examined the representations of the Middle East conflict in the 1940s and 1950s by the Spanish anti-Francoist movements. This work analyzes media narratives concerning Arabs and Israelis produced between 1947 and 1957 by the communist, socialist and anarchist press. Through a critical analysis of the articles published in those years, it is possible to demonstrate that the coverage of the Spanish left-wing periodicals was not rooted in the realities of the Middle East, but rather in the political and ideological interests of their parties.

ABSTRACT The article examines changes in the commemoration work and memorial discourse surrounding the first Sephardi Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel, Rabbi Ben-Tzion Meir Hai Uziel. While commemoration work in the public sphere in Israel has dwindled over the years, there has been a revival of memory discourse in recent years, especially amongst Religious Zionists. The article proposes reasons for this resurgence, including a response to processes of Haredization of the Sephardi spiritual leadership in Israel and a quest for a source of inspiration for a moderate, Zionist Orthodox rabbinate.

ABSTRACT The capital city is the place where political entities are represented in national space. This space acts as a mediating force between society, the nation, and the outside world, and it is very important for the development of a system of visual national symbols. The political leaders, national and local, are those who shape the capital city. Therefore, examining the relationship between municipal and national political systems in Jerusalem sheds light not only on local history but on national developments and the perception of Jerusalem as the capital in the national psyche. The years 1948-1955 were a very chaotic time in the annals of Jerusalem, Jerusalem became a city divided between Israel and Jordan in a semi-state of war that turned permanent despite the armistice agreements. Israel’s national leaders remained ambivalent about Jerusalem as capital city despite the rhetoric of figures from across the political spectrum. Their ambivalent attitude influenced the relationship with the Jerusalem Municipality. The article addresses the subject of the relations between the national government and the municipal political coalition in Jerusalem from 1948 to 1955.

thus less tangible than the economic situation of the Yishuv. The second implicit assumption is that married couples had penetrative intercourse regularly. Challenging this assumption, it is interesting that the National Council’s Committee in Birthrate Problems did not encourage people to engage in sex more frequently. This, perhaps, can indicate that sex was considered an even more personal issue than pregnancy and abortion. To conclude, Rosenberg-Friedman’s important and thought-provoking book is written from the perspective of social history, offering an integrative look at the numerous aspects of this issue including women’s lives, families’ lives, household management, doctors’ work, conditions in hospitals, demographers’ work, and public opinion. Rosenberg-Friedman demonstrates how the issue of birthrate reveals the Yishuv society in its complexity, in terms of gender relations, ethnic and class divisions, clashing ideals, and an intricate collective mission in a tumultuous period.

note that the evasive and contradictory character of his positions was due also to the fact that Jabotinsky was not only a politician. He was also an artist, a playwright, an author, a thinker, and a poet. This is what makes him unique, and it also contributes to his complexity and to his strengths and weaknesses as a politician. Heller’s captivating and important book adds an important dimension to our understanding of Jabotinsky, though it would seem that his character will continue to be open to further interpretation in the future.
