From “European Oasis” to Downtown New York
Geography textbooks, like other cultural artifacts, are usually left as unexploited—raw. Ever since its founding, Tel-Aviv has been represented in geography textbooks in a very positive light—the “European oasis in the East”. The dominant line in presenting the city remains—a created artifact that testifies to the vitality and power of Zionism, the center of the State of Israel, the very heart of its economy, culture, and society. It is integrate…
To Tie the Cords between the People and its Land’
The Zionist movement was the flagship of territorial socialization until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The establishment of the state was a turning point in modern Jewish history because some goals of the Zionist movement were achieved and an independent political entity with international recognition was established. The state itself continued to concern itself with territorial education in order to increase the citizens’ ide…

The Blue Box and JNF Propaganda Maps, 1930-1947
THE INITIATIVE TO USE A box in collecting money for the Jewish National Fund (JNF), in the tradition of the charity boxes commonly used in Jewish institutions, came from Haim Kleinman, a bank clerk from Galicia.

Cultural-Geographical Aspects of Street Names in the Towns of Israel
A comparative analysis of the street names of many towns in Israel shows the importance of Zionist ideology in the process of naming, although there is apparently a central core of names boasting a national consensus. As a result of the War of Independence (1948), most of the Arab and English street names were changed, an act symbolic of the Jewish and Zionist nature of the urban environment

The Shtetl —The Jewish Small Town in Eastern Europe

The large majority of the towns was small—90% being no larger than 5,000 people.

In this study, an attempt is made…
Planned Bedouin settlement in Israel— a critique
The Subjective Significance of the Landscape of Tsfat

Some of these new residents have absorbed the mystical atmosphere of the town and thus continue a tradition of ma…
