Garden Cities and Colonial Planning
This title presents a study of European planning ideas in the form of garden city concepts and practices in their broadest sense, and the ways these were transmitted, diffused, and diverted in various colonial territories and situations
The Tombstone in Israel's Military Cemetery since 1948
Military cemeteries are one of the most prominent cultural landscapes of Israel. Their story reflects largely the main social processes that Israeli society has been undergoing since the War of Independence (1948) until today. Until the end of the 1970s, the military tombstones and their surroundings were uniform and equal, according to rules set by the State. However, since the 1980s families of the fallen soldiers started to add on the tombston…

The Jews of China and their Contribution to the Establishment of the Jewish National Home in Palestine in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
This article deals with the contribution of Zionists throughout the world to the building of the National Home in Palestine, including the Zionist communities in the Far East – India and China. It examines the vast Zionist activity taking place in China, with the Zionists of China making a significant contribution, especially considering the small size of its Jewish community. In contrast to popular belief, in the period discussed in our research…
Between the Galilee and its Neighbouring Isle
The Jewish Colonization Association organized Jewish rural settlements at the beginning of the twentieth century all over the world. Its colonization effort in Cyprus, although minor and doomed is nevertheless important, as it is widely documented and thus helps to understand essential dynamics and conceptions of the JCA administration. The present article is based on a report prepared by Jules Rosenheck, a high official of JCA in nearby Palestin…
From Cooperative to Renewed Kibbutz
This article deals with the process of change which is taking place in the kibbutz movement of Israel, and the structural and organizational changes in most kibbutzim from the model of a cooperative kibbutz to that of a renewed kibbutz. The article deals with the causes of the crisis and the principles of change, the essence of which is the implementation of the idea of economic rationalism. This change is not total nor is it accompanied by a den…

Heritage Interpretation and Politics in Kfar Etzion, Israel
Kfar Etzion is a Kibbutz first established in Palestine in the 1930s. At the end of the British Mandate, in 1948, it became a de facto Israeli military outpost that controlled access to Jerusalem from the south. Kfar Etzion fell to Arab forces in 1948 and the area became Jordanian territory until 1967 when Israeli forces occupied the West Bank. Kfar Etzion was re-established in the same year. Kfar Etzion now interprets its history through a sophi…

Zionism and Jerusalem — the conflict of priorities
The marginal role of Jerusalem in Zionist settlement activity prior to the founding of the state of Israel
The role of Jerusalem in the settlement activity of the Zionist establishment from the beginning of the Zionist movement until the founding of the state of Israel has not been definitively researched. However, based on several studies that touch on Jerusalem during this period, a general picture emerges in which, to put it mildly, Jerusalem was not at the forefront of activity of the Zionist establishment; even though at two points -just prior to…
Status and rights of the Arab minority in the Nascent Jewish state
The attitude of Zionism toward the issue of the Arabs in Palestine from the beginning of Zionism until the founding of the state of Israel in 1948 has been the subject of considerable scholarly interest. Among the more prominent studies are those by Alsberg, Ro'i, Hattis, Sela, Mandel, Kollat, Rubinstein, Goldstein, Haim, Caplan, Be'eri, Gorny, and Shafir.1 These works deal not just with the attitude toward the Arab issue of prestate official Zio…
The absorptive capacity of Palestine, 1882–1948
This article will shed light on the question of Palestines absorptive capacity as a geographic economic and political issue from the time that Zionism took in interest in the subject until the establishment of the State of Israel. It will examine the methods that were employed to evaluate the question the problems attendant upon these methods and how these methods were modified over the course of time. (EXCERPT)
Women's Quest For Occupational Equality
There is a common belief that Israeli women have achieved gender equality over and above that attained in America and European countries. Evidence cited to support this is the fact that women routinely serve in the Israeli army and the country elected a woman, Golda Meir, as prime minister. Equality between men and women is claimed to date back to the days at the beginning of the century when both sexes worked shoulder to shoulder in road constru…

Identity, Nationalism, and Placenames
Placenames promote identification and connection, and serve the ideological needs of those who give the names. In this context, 1examine Zionist efforts during the British mandate in Palestine to preserve the original Hebrew names found in the Bible and other ancient sources as placenames in Palestine in the documents, correspondence, and official signs of the mandate government. The Zionists gave to placenames in Palestine a special role for adv…
The religious Kibbutz movement and its credo, 1935–48
Le mouvement religieux Kibbutz a commence son activite dans les annees 1930. L'intention de l'A. est de retracer et d'analyser le contexte qui a permis le developpement de ce mouvement. Il s'attache egalement la doctrine theorique et pratique du Kibbutz qui doit fonctionner conformement a la religion juive. Le mouvement correspond aux aspirations nationalistes et socialistes de l'Etat d'Israel tout en voulant conserver un cadre religieux orthodox…
Symbolism and landscape
In the early 1940s, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) acquired lands south of Bethlehem in a region that later became known as the Etzion bloc. In the years that followed, the JNF and the Settlement Department of the Jewish Agency established a bloc of settlements on these lands that included four kibbutzim: Kfar Etzion (1943), Massuot Yitzhak (1945), Ein Zurim (1946), and Revadim (1947). These were the only Jewish settlements in the area between Je…

The Palestinian mountain region and Zionist settlement policy, 1882–1948
The Palestinian mountain region, situated lengthwise astride three parts of Palestine-Judea, Samaria and the Galilee, accounts for 34 per cent of the territories in Western Palestine (2,262,075 acres out of 6,752,250 acres). If we exclude the then sparsely populated Negev desert, the mountain region constitutes 60 per cent of the Palestinian territories. Its altitude varies and climbs in certain areas to over 1,000 meters above sea level.' Zionis…
Jewish Pioneer Agricultural Settlements in Western Canada
Jewish settlers established agricultural settlements in the Canadian Prairie Provinces from the early 1880s through the first decade of the 20th century. Without exception these settlements were eventually abandoned by their founders. Today there are no Jewish rural agricultural communities in western Canada. Environmental adversity and lack of farming experience as major factors in the failure of the Jewish settlements are questioned. This study…

Rural Settlement Patterns in Eretz-Israel
The pattern of settlement in Eretz-Israel (Palestine) is the result of two separate cultural systems, which have developed side-by-side in a small territory. One of the two systems is of modern origin, while the other was the result of long and continuous development. Paradoxically, the Jewish pattern is rigid and, contrary to prevailing trends, strongly nucleated. The 'traditional' Arab patterns, on the other hand, are more varied and dynamic.Th…

Jewish and Mormon Agricultural Settlement in Western Canada
Mormons and Jews established agricultural settlements in western Canada around the turn of the century. Mormon colonization was generally successful, characterized by its great stability. Abandonment of the land by Mormon communities was rare. In contrast, almost all the Jewish settlements failed. Settlers abandoned their land and retreated to the urban centres of the West. A comparative analysis of the two groups suggests that this difference in…
