Between nation and land in Zionist teaching of Jewish history, 1920–1954
The article discusses the representation of Jewish history in the Zionist school system of the Yishuv and the early State of Israel (1920–1954). In the Yishuv period the history curriculum was centered on “shifting Jewish centers” in the spirit of historian Simon Dubnow, an approach that also integrated Jewish and non-Jewish history. From the 1930s, Ben Zion Dinur and the Teachers' Council of the Keren Kayemet le-Yisrael (Jewish National Fund) at…
Who Fired First? Students' Construction of Meaning From One Textbook Account of the Israeli–Arab Conflict
In this article, I present three students' and one parent's reading of an excerpt from a textbook on the Israeli–Arab conflict. The excerpt is an account of a skirmish between Jews and Arabs in 1920, symbolizing for Jews the first bloody encounter between the two sides. While all students read the same excerpt, they use different mechanisms in their reading process to decipher the text, and come to different historical conclusions about the meani…
The Nation Revised
This article discusses the representation of history in the first textbooks of Jewish history published in Palestine under the influence of the Zionist movement. Three different historical representations of the nation are discussed: the national-religious (Jawitz), the political-Zionist (Ben-Yehudah), and the cultural-Zionist (Azar and Braunstein). The different historical representations of Jewish history differ significantly from the represent…

Up until the late 1960s the representation of the Holocaust in Israeli education was marginalized. Contrary to the widely-held assumption that the Holocaust became a central topic of teaching following the 1961 Eichmann trial, this article argues that as a result of the Eichmann trial Israeli educationalists actively resiste…
It’s Not Written Here, But This Is What Happened
A group of Israeli high school students (n = 11) from two socially distinct schools read aloud a textbook account of a 1920 bloody encounter between Jews and Arabs. The study aimed at examining the relation between the textbook account and the students’ formation of historical perceptions. Prior to reading the textbook excerpts, students wrote accounts of the event from their memory (the prenarrative). After being questioned about the prenarrativ…

Il y a un decalage entre la conception d…
