Religion and State in Jewish Burial in Israel: The Establishment and Administration of Har HaMenuhot in Jerusalem, 1949–1967
Riding the wave’: The development of marinas around the world and the founding of the marina in Tel Aviv, Israel
The first marina in Israel was founded in 1973 in Tel Aviv. The accelerated development of sailing in the West after World War II and the economic prosperity that followed demanded the construction of designated marinas, which began to appear in the West in the 1960s and in the eastern basin of the Mediterranean Sea in the 1970s. Similarly to Greece and Turkey, the marina in Tel Aviv was built in the framework of massive investment in touristic i…
The battle over the Zionist maritime ethos: ‘Sea Day’ and claims to the Land of Israel’s sea culture
Within the Zionist movement, the sea initially served no nationalistic purpose; it was a means of transit, a conduit for ingathering the Jewish diaspora. The Zionist leadership neglected the sea as a tool, emphasizing 'Jewish work' in agriculture instead. But the sea held meaning in modern nationalism for many countries, and the pre-state Land of Israel was no exception. The Yishuv institutions began to recognize the sea's significance for the na…
Cemeteries as representing national identity: Trends in Jewish burial in Jerusalem during British rule (1917–1948)
During the period of British rule in Jerusalem (1917–1948), the “Gemilut Hesed shel Emet” society—or Gahsha—a burial society was founded by Jerusalem's community council. From the perspective of national Zionist activity, Jerusalem’s burial society reflected attempts to firmly establish a general national awareness within the Jewish community. The idea of a cemetery for all Jews with no distinction made based on origin constituted a significant c…
Zionist pilgrimages: The beginning of organized Zionist Jewish tourism to Palestine at the end of the Ottoman period
This article deals with the first groups (convoys) of Jewish tourists who traveled to Eretz Israel at the end of the Ottoman period and examines them in light of the typology of pilgrimage, tourism and Zionism. The participants in the convoys felt they had a mission to become familiar with Palestine, in order for them to express their opinion regarding the chances of settling there in the future. The interest that the participants in the convoys …
Jerusalem inside a museum? The Tower of David Museum and the dilemmas behind it, 1967–89
In 1989, The Jerusalem Citadel (or Tower of David) was inaugurated as the Museum of the History of Jerusalem. The museum’s establishment stretched over two decades, highlighting the different dilemmas that were tied to the State of Israel’s attitude towards Jerusalem generally and the Old City in particular. The museum displayed Jerusalem using a historical-chronological approach, avoiding adapting it to the city’s multicultural, vibrant, diverse…

In The Western Wall: The Dispute over Israel's Holiest Jewish Site, 1967–2000, Kobi Cohen-Hattab and Doron Bar offer a detailed exploration of the Western Wall plaza's evolution in the late twentieth century. The examination covers the role of archaeology in defining the space, the Western Wall's …
Zionism’s Maritime Revolution: The Yishuv’s Hold on the Land of Israel’s Sea and Shores, 1917–1948
Research on Jewish settlement of the Land of Israel in the modern era has long neglected the sea and its shores. This book explores the Yishuv’s hold on the Mediterranean and other bodies of water during the British Mandate in Palestine and the Zionist “maritime revolution,” a shift from a focus on land-based development to an embrace of the sea as a source of security, economic growth, clandestine immigration ( haapala ), and national pride. The…
From Wailing to Rebirth: The Development of the Western Wall as an Israeli National Symbol After the Six-Day War
This article focuses on the changes that occurred in the significance of Israel’s Western Wall after the Six-Day War in 1967, when the site became a prominent Jewish and Israeli symbol. We examine the processes that established the Western Wall as a site combining both Jewish and Israeli components of identity — a place of national importance in Israeli consciousness. During these processes, the religious and historic contexts of the site remaine…
From ideological space to recreational tourism: The Israeli forest
The forest as a leisure, recreation, and tourist space is growing in significance as part of nature-based tourism. It contributes to social and economic development, particularly in light of the global trend for more recreation and tourism in developed and developing countries. The main aim of this paper is to describe and analyze the evolution of forest development policy and its implications for the function of the forest as a recreation and le…
Can the two go together? Archaeology and sanctity at the Western Wall and surrounding area, 1967–1977
Archaeologists, politicians and religious figures competed for the right to dig in the area of the Western Wall, in places that would later be known as the “Western Wall Plaza,” “Western Wall Tunnels” and “Western Wall excavations.” A struggle would unfold during 1967–1977 between, on one side, the rabbis and religious politicians who received responsibility and exclusivity from the state for the area of the sacred wall, and on the other side, th…
The border as bridge: An Israeli perspective on the Mandelbaum Gate in divided Jerusalem (1948–1967)
Between 1948 and 1967, Jerusalem was divided by a ‘city line’, dividing Jordan (East Jerusalem) from Israel (West Jerusalem). Between the two sections stood one border crossing called ‘Mandelbaum Gate’. While existing literature on the Gate tends to emphasize its military status – owing in particular to the military convoy that crossed the border on a regular basis – research using sources from that time paints a picture of a border with civilian…
The Nationalization of Holy Sites: Yishuv-Era Visual Representations of the Western Wall and Rachel's Tomb
The article studies visual representations of the burgeoning nationalization of the Western Wall and Rachel’s Tomb during the late Ottoman period and until the establishment of the State of Israel. It focuses on representations such as photographs and illustrations meant for sale and distribution to the general public; on ritual objects; on artisanal handicraft meant for hanging in the home; on practical items; and on jewelry. The visual represen…
Tourism posters in the Yishuv era: Between Zionist ideology and commercial language
This study examines the complex national messages conveyed, both verbally and visually, in Zionist commercial advertisement posters produced in the Yishuv during the 1930s and 1940s. It focuses on posters promoting tourism and vacationing in Palestine, representing the growing perception of the country as an attractive destination for modern tourism that is not only religiously motivated. The posters are examined as historical documents that shed…
Public involvement and tourism planning in a historic city: The case of the Old City of Jerusalem
One of the most widely discussed parameters in the field of tourism management and development concerns the issue of the cooperation and involvement of the public in decision-making processes. In regions characterized by various types of conflicts, questions regarding tourism management and development and the role of the local populations in these processes are political and ethical issues of the highest degree for the society and culture of tha…
Struggles at holy sites and their outcomes: The evolution of the Western Wall Plaza in Jerusalem
The Western Wall in Jerusalem is the holiest of sites to Jews, a historical landmark, an archeological paradise, and a popular tourist attraction. After Israel gained control of the Old City of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War in 1967, it needed to address the question of what would be the layout and character of the Western Wall and the area adjacent to it. Both Israeli Jews and visiting Diaspora Jews wanted to pray next to the wall, though ther…

Tourism development and cultural conflict: The case of 'Nazareth 2000
In areas that are characterized by political, national, cultural and religious conflicts, issues concerning conservation and development become particularly complex. One prominent example of this tension can be seen in events that have taken place over the last decade in the city of Nazareth, which hosts some of Christianity's holiest sites. Until the mid-twentieth century most of the city's residents were Christian. In the past several decades h…
Zionism, Tourism, and the Battle for Palestine: Tourism as a Political-Propaganda Tool
Introduction In December 1917, Britain triumphantly entered Jerusalem, and by 1918, it had conquered the remainder of Palestine. In 1922, granted mandatory powers by the newly established League of Nations, Britain assumed stewardship of the country which continued until 1948. Within the Zionist movement these events, which seemed to have brought the possibility of a Jewish state that much closer, were greeted with jubilation; and not without rea…

The Decline of Israel's Mediterranean Resorts: Life Cycle Change Versus National Tourism Master Planning
In spite of the general increase in both incoming and domestic tourism in Israel during the last third of the twentieth century, there has been stagnation and decline in tourism to the country’s Mediterranean seaside resorts. At first glance, this situation seems to conform to Butler’s life cycle model. However, closer analysis reveals that Israel’s tourism policy, reflected in a sequence of national master plans, is largely responsible for this …
Historical Research and Tourism Analysis: The Case of the Tourist-Historic City of Jerusalem
Studies of tourist–historic cities often rely upon evolutionary models, which chart the development of tourism in historical towns. Prominent among these models are: Ashworth and Tunbridge's model of the tourist–historic city; models outlining the development of the Central Tourist District; The Tourist Town's Functional Spaces Model; and the Accommodation Service Model. The article seeks to prove that using such models without, at the same time,…
