Construction and clearance in Israel, 1960–1975
This article traces the development and crystallization of urban-planning-and-renewal outlooks in Israel in view of the tension between physical renewal and social rehabilitation. The focus on the coalescence of early Israeli policy (1960-1975) reveals a gradual and protracted process in which the concept of social renewal trickled into the agenda of policymakers and experts. We argue that in the Israeli case, the belated arrival of the ‘bulldoze…
Nonprofit–Government Partnership during a Crisis
In a series of studies spanning a few decades, Salamon and his colleagues examined the interdependency between government and the voluntary sector, based on mutual complementarity in view of each sector’s weaknesses and advantages. This articles tests the relevance of Salamon’s postulates for the analysis and understanding of a concrete historical junction that had global characteristics: a state-in-formation that experienced a massive war of dir…
The Riddle of Community Resilience
Resilience is a concept of concern to researchers of humanitarian disasters and crises as well as relief organizations and agencies. Compelling findings in recent studies demonstrate the centrality of social networks and connections, among individuals and groups, in powering rehabilitation processes after disasters and crises. Derived from this perspective is the concept of community resilience, based on Ozawa’s definition as groups and individua…

A lesson in urban renewal
In January 1969, the Israeli minister of housing announced his intention of declaring a set of neighbourhoods in Jerusalem, known as Zikhronot-Nahlaot, an urban-renewal area. For the next seven years, the topic of renewal would be central in a public struggle led by two organizations of residents against a brace of establishment players. The resulting trail of documentation tells the story of a community struggle. By focusing on the role of the r…

The Third Angle in Israel Studies
Relying on theoretical foundations and conceptualizations in the literature on government–Third Sector relations, this article examines the motives and outcomes that impacted the relations between voluntary non-governmental entities and government organs after the State of Israel was established. Using the typology primarily of Jennifer Coston, in addition to those of Dennis Young and Adil Nagam, the article concentrates on three case studies ref…

Israeli Jews from Muslim Countries
This article sheds light on the salient and far-reaching pattern of association-forming among Jewish immigrants from Muslim countries in Israel during the 1950s and 1960s. They were formally established associations that operated by means of representatives and spokespersons and strove to mediate between the population group that they represented and the state authorities that dealt with immigration and its integration. Interestingly, although fe…
Civic Awareness and Associations in Israel’s Underprivileged Sectors in the 1950s–1960s
This article discusses associative initiatives by two underprivileged sectors in Israel in the 1950s and 1960s: inhabitants of low-income neighborhoods on the fringes of Tel Aviv and Arab citizens living in towns and villages under supervision of the Military Administration. Based on varied archival sources comprised largely of letters and memoranda written by members of the associations, the study examines encounters that took place (usually in …
City with No Walls
On the evening of Wednesday, June 7, 1967, David Ben-Gurion traveled to Jerusalem to behold the city’s unification with his own eyes. As the war continued and many of his comrades were immersed in conducting it, he began to promote a program that aimed to make the de facto unification a permanent fact. After mulling with the city's mayor, Teddy Kollek, the “urgency of taking action,” the very next morning he met in his home in Tel Aviv with the M…
Israeli democracy and the right of association
The main legal instrument that regulates the right of association for nonprofit purposes in Israel is the Amutot (Non-Profit Organisations) Law, 1980 (hereinafter: the NPO Law and, preceding its passage, the NPO Bill). It creates a legal framework for associations that pursue a socially or culturally shared goal as opposed to a business purpose. This article describes the first chapter of the legislative process (1948–1954) that led eventually to…
David Ben-Gurion’s leadership as a “two-way interaction process”
The persona, influence, and modi operandi of Israel’s first PM, David Ben-Gurion, have been central in studies on the history of Israel. Relatively few studies, however, focus on the patterns of Ben-Gurion’s leadership in an attempt to decode his personality and the sources of his influence. This article seeks a better understanding about one pattern in Ben-Gurion’s leadership—his communication with “the public” or, to be more precise, with his f…
Internally Displaced Persons Between Nonprofits and Government
Internally displaced persons (IDPs) crises provide a dramatic backdrop to government–nonprofit relations, as they tend to engage variegated actors at local, national, and international levels. Such crises reveal the composition, forms of engagement, roles, and relationships of the actors involved. The comparison of two crises along Israeli history, separated by years of changing welfare systems and social and political contexts, is an exceptional…
Challenging Disempowerment in 1948
Attempts to explain the achievements of the Jewish side in the 1948 War of Independence have focused thus far on the military and political dimension and on the domestic social, economic, and ideological dimension, as reflected in the collective mobilization of the Yishuv society. This article reveals the role of additional players in the war, including institutions, organizations, and associations that provided social services; the individuals w…
The Historical Dimension
Israeli historiography tends to stress the collectivist dimension in the processes that led to the establishment of the State of Israel. This was demonstrated both in the national ideology and in the formation of a political centre which later became a sovereign centralized government. This article turns away from existing historiography and focuses on institutions that functioned alongside or outside the political centre and provided social serv…

Mediating Between Citizens and a New State
Shurat ha-Mitnadvim was founded in the winter of 1951–1952 by students from the Hebrew University as a volunteer organization promoting norms of good citizenship by furthering the social integration of new immigrants and exposing prodigality and corrupt practices in the public sector. Shurat ha-Mitnadvim offered a structural and ideological alternative to the dominant model of civil organizing that persisted from the Yishuv (pre-statehood) to the…
Leadership Behind the Curtains
In recent years, women and gender have become important topics in research on Jewish society in Palestine in the first half of the twentieth century. Studies on these topics show that women were deeply involved in nation-building but were marginalized in Zionist politics.1 The story of women's organizations in the Israeli War of Independence is much the same—the tale of a responsible, enterprising, and creative leadership that was not privileged …
