Reflections of disability in Israeli school readers, 1953-67
Disabilities were hardly and indirectly represented in Israeli school readers in 1953–67. This article proposes an integrative reconsideration of this attitude. Indeed, while disabled persons are represented as sensitive, their encounters remain sterile with no mention of either physical or emotional contact, without crossborders discussions. Normative persons address their disabled counterparts as seemingly helpless, neither willing nor able to …

The solitude of rural teachers
This article examines the need rural teachers felt for solitude and the place it took in their emotional world. Solitude was not seen by the teachers as a substitute for social life but, rather, considered as enriching it. Unlike loneliness, solitude was sought after and craved as it represented voluntary self-fulfilment in an environment that was considered culturally and often emotionally unfriendly, at times even hostile. Solitude became at th…
Lower Galilee Farmers Association
In 1901, in the Lower Galilee, the JCA, a Jewish philanthropic organization, established a region of rural settlements aimed at creating independent Jewish farmers. During World War I, the settlers established a regional committee, the Lower Galilee Farmers Association. During its 30‐year existence, the Association developed a complex process of alienation between itself and the farmers it was supposed to represent. The Association widened its re…
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…
Cultural aspects of philanthropy
Jewish settlements – moshavot – in Galilee in Palestine at the beginning of the twentieth century were administered by a French Jewish philanthropic society, JCA. The JCA administrators, in their behaviour and in their world view, reflected the mentality which was framed by the French bourgeoisie culture during the Belle Époque. An understanding of the bourgeois viewpoint is the key to comprehending the approach of JCA administrators to the world…
A Leader on Both Sides of the Border
In the decades preceding 1948, the Bedouin Amirs of the Fa‘our family, leaders of the Fadil tribe, were dominant figures in the area of the meeting point of the borders of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. After World War I, two mandatory powers divided control over the Fadil tribe habitat, forcing Amir Fa‘our al-Fa‘our to deal with new and serious problems necessitating new processes of adaptation. These were territorial, as tribal lands were now un…
Jewish or Arab Hired Workers? Inner Tensions in a Jewish Settlement in Pre–state Israel
The agricultural settlement was essential in the process of establishing the state of Israel. In the 1920s the Zionist leadership claimed exclusivity in employing Hebrew workers. This research focuses on the lone Moshava settlement, and examines the reasons why its farmers, opposing the hegemonic ethos, preferred the employment of Arab workers. In the broader historical context, this article's interest is the possible reactions of a peripheral so…
