ABSTRACT:Like the rest of Arab society, the Druze community in Israel has undergone significant changes since the establishment of the State. One of the most prominent of these is the substantial rise in the number of educated women. Yet despite modernization and their high levels of education and entrance into the job market, Druze women have struggled to play a leading role in politics. This situation contrasts sharply with that of their counterparts in Lebanon, who have consistently gained pre-eminence within the community's political and public leadership. This article suggests that while Druze religious doctrine encourages "female empowerment," Druze women in Israel, have never been able to fulfil their potential in practical terms of political involvement. The tradition of rulership among Druze elite families in Lebanon and the separation between religious and political authority account for the high level of political involvement among Druze women in Lebanon vs. their limited participation in Israel.

ABSTRACT:Families of single mothers by choice are the fastest growing "new family" type in Israel today. Solo mothers, or single mothers by choice as they are called, bring their children into the world without a partner from the start, even before conception. The number of Israeli solo mothers has doubled over the past decade. They are mostly Jewish and from various socioeconomic levels. Despite their growing numbers and visibility in Israel, they have attracted little academic attention. The article is based on thirty-six semi-structured interviews and a follow-up in social media. As a solo mother myself, and a sociologist, I analyze some of the findings and my own experiences. I shall explore in this article the sociological aspects of solo motherhood as a conformist challenge to Israeli gender ideology. Solo mothers comply with almost everything Israeli society expects of women, but on their own terms. They use existing repertoires and adjust them to their needs. Solo motherhood enables single women to conform to the Israeli norms of femininity: procreation and motherhood. In the process, they develop shared practices and language and a family narrative that provides another model of family, as they are often required to explain their status simply because most systems are organized around two parent families. Thus, they may find themselves accounting for their choices, primarily to themselves, but also to their environment. In the process, they revise gendered conventions.

ABSTRACT:Ideally this article should be titled "decomposing Hebrewism," except that by the turn of the twenty-first century composers in Israel were past the point of opposing the tropes that constituted Hebrew culture and the territorial paradigms that had conditioned it. Still, the two composers under discussion here—Betty Olivero and Chaya Czernowin—do not offer more-of-the-same stand-ins in the monolithic form of representations or identities (gender identities included); nor are there common stylistic traits that could reason their joint appearance here (and their gender, needless to say, would be a poor excuse). In fact, it is despite their unequivocally different aesthetic penchants that we can point to artistic perceptions which mute national territorial tropes, disable the Zionist management of Jewish history, and opt for non-redemptive poetics—all while drawing on Jewish musical traditions or modern Hebrew literature. Looking at (and listening to) Olivero and Czernowin's works, this article discusses the modern and postmodern patrimonies that steer their writing while situating both in the aftermath of Hebrew Culture. Knowingly circumventing the playing of identity cards or the displaying of peripheral masks, Olivero and Czernowin's musics signal a constituent shift toward simultaneities, multiplicities, defacing of musical signifiers, and the unmarked semiotics of cultural spaces that are bluntly incongruent with the national.

ABSTRACT:Orna Ben-Dor (1954- ) is one Israel's most prominent filmmakers and television directors. By the 2000s Ben-Dor had directed four films with Holocaust survivors as her main protagonists. The article analyzes the central themes in Ben-Dor's Holocaust-related films and explains how the director maintains a perspective of distance. Because she so often relates in film interviews to her parents' Holocaust and her sensitivity as a second-generation Holocaust survivor, one might have expected her to engage with the topic in her autobiographical documentary, released in 2009. However, as this article will show, Ben-Dor downplays the Holocaust in this film and turns the camera inward to focus on gender rather than on the hallmark themes of her previous films: PTSD of Holocaust survivors, the transgenerational transfer of trauma to the second generation and the absorption of Holocaust survivors in Israel. As a director who has played such an important part in Israel's Holocaust commemoration, Ben-Dor remains strangely reticent about her own personal Holocaust-related story.

ABSTRACT:Women have been active as architects in Israel since 1921, designing projects of varied types and scales, including synagogues. The first woman to design a modern synagogue in the country was Judith Segall Stolzer, who in 1935, won a prestigious competition for Hadera's central synagogue. A few decades later Genia Averbuch designed three synagogues in a remarkably innovative modern style. These female architects were noteworthy partners in the endeavor to develop a local style in the design of synagogues. This article engages with four synagogues designed by two of the country's first female architects and explores their symbolic style against the built environment of the day. It examines the architectural planning process—references, concepts, and ideas—as well as the unusual commissioning of women as architects for these projects, with an emphasis on their contribution to Israeli culture, the development of a local style in modern architecture, and synagogue design.

ABSTRACT:This review of gender research in 21st century Israel offers a twofold argument. The first is that Israeli gender literature follows parallel tracks: identity studies that serve as a platform for marginalized groups, and policy studies which examine the impact of economic, political, and legal policies on the status of women. Although the two approaches follow very different tracks, they are closely related and linked by feminist activism. This distinction is the organizing axis of our article. The second argument is that current gender literature in Israel is shaped mainly by neoliberalism and neocolonialism as opposed to a literature that traditionally focused on the nation state as the dominant power constituting gender relations. Neoliberal governance is not limited to economics or politics. It extends rather to newly gendered subjects, shapes citizenship patterns, and reorganizes society. Neocolonialism and the militarism it maintains attain a constitutive status in local experience, with a key role in identity politics, the gendering of political action and most importantly, the perpetration of gender inequalities. Our study indicates that gender research in Israel is shaped around neoliberalism and neocolonialism, both of which generate identification and resistance. Thus, despite the common tendency of gender scholars to oppose both neoliberalism and neocolonialism, a social division into multiple gender identity groups, as well as Israel's gender policies, may inadvertently serve the interests of both neoliberal and neocolonial regimes.

ABSTRACT:The ritual feast known as the Seder on the eve of Passover is one of the most family-oriented Jewish holidays observed in Israel. Rich in symbolism and narrative, it invites a wide variety of discussions, study, and intergenerational mentoring and supervision. In this article I demonstrate how the Seder can serve as a representational performance that includes gender and sexual identities normally omitted from Jewish liturgy and society at large. A Reform community workshop in preparation for the Seder Night, exposes congregants to alternative versions of the traditional Haggadah text and introduces new ritual gestures that allow for the "presencing" of gay and heterosexual life-stories. Old patterns and family traditions are undermined; special additions are added to the Passover plate and the Haggadah itself. Thus, the narrative of national redemption is reconstructed as gender redemption, marking the Israeli Reform Jewish community as an egalitarian agency of contemporary conflict for gender equality.
