Introduction
Following the first gathering of the applied anthropology community in Israel in May 2005, where PA editor Jeanne Simonelli was our keynote speaker, the three of us agreed that the time had come for a second special issue of Practicing Anthropology. The first was published in the Spring of 1993 and represented the state of applied work in Israel at that time. On its cover was a fifties-era photo of Israeli anthropologist Phylis Palgi, the other k…
Applied Anthropology in Israel
At first glance, applied anthropology in Israel appears underdeveloped and underappreciated. There are no independent anthropology departments and the single attempt to create a training program in applied anthropology ceased to exit after four years. However, such a strict interpretation would not be fair to our applied and academic colleagues in Israel for much important applied anthropology has been and is being done in Israel. In fact, Israel…
RaGap’
In this article, I present the emergence of a recent phenomenon among young Ethiopians in Israel, in which they appropriate and identify with specific black musical genres such as Reggae and Rap, and develop a new sub-culture of Afro-Israeli identity.

After years of longing, crossing the desert from Ethiopia to Sudan, and finally arriving in Israel, they have come close to achieving their dream. But many are still far from it. They made it to Israel, but they can't see Jerusalem—nor their grandchildren, nor much of their surroundings
Absorption of Ethiopians Through the Israeli Defense Forces
The Ethiopian Jewish population of Israel numbers about 45,000. Their immigration into the country took place primarily in two Israeli-organized, rescue operations carried out mainly by the army: "Operation Moses" in 1984-85 and "Operation Solomon" in 1990. These immigrants are currently undergoing a prolonged and difficult period of transition. Many fundamental aspects of their lives are changing, including religious practices (a mainstay of the…
