For the first time since the onset of the Second Intifada, films whose heroes suffer from PTSD are dealing with the processing of past experience. Using case studies, the article analyzes films directed by PTSD victims, which deal with the processing of war trauma, including among others One Battle Too Many (Joel Sharon, 2013) and Closed Story (Micha Livne, 2015). The films’ heroes are seeking to free themselves from the amnesia that is concealing the traumatic events deep within their memory. They manage to locate the repressed memory and then weave the traumatic story anew. The films propose various cinematic strategies for processing trauma, strategies that are meant to demarcate both the subjective traumatic past and the objective safe present and to place a defined aesthetic border between them. The films are analyzed by means of close reading of the cinematic aesthetic and the discussion of trauma in the Humanities. The interweaving of unrealistic and realistic symbolization practices dismantles the classic form of documentary cinema and facilitates an encounter between the viewer and the overwhelming nature of trauma.","PeriodicalId":219032,"journal":{"name":"Iyunim, Multidisciplinary Studies in Israeli and Modern Jewish Society","volume":"594 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115105258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast to the latter, the locomotive drivers’ strike has been neglected by historical memory and ignored in historical research. Research devoted to the seamen’s strike has been carried out in isolation from other strikes during this period and presents it—mistakenly—as a unique case. As a result, it has been interpreted in the context of ideological and political confrontations, ignoring the fact that the government’s response to the strike was part of its broader approach to labor relations. This article will claim that in view of the proximity of the strikes and the similarity of the government’s responses, the seamen’s strike should be understood in light of the locomotive drivers’ strike, an approach that suggests a different interpretation of the strike. An analysis of the two strikes in sequence reveals that in the early years of Israeli statehood, Mapai had a policy of using the army to break up strikes, which was abandoned only after it had gained experience in dealing with them.","PeriodicalId":219032,"journal":{"name":"Iyunim, Multidisciplinary Studies in Israeli and Modern Jewish Society","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114808520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fledgling Ministry of Health was in the stage of creating the medical system and infrastructure and was still in the process of formulating policy. The new State of Israel now faced a complex, multifaceted challenge, at a time when it was vigorously seeking acceptance and recognition of its standing in the UN and the World Health Organization (WHO). The healthcare system battled the epidemic for over four years. In view of the severity of the situation and the lack of alternative solutions, the heads of the healthcare system adopted their own independent policy. Demonstrating professional courage, they undertook the manufacture of vaccines and initiated a mass vaccination campaign. Israel’s handling of the epidemic boosted the country’s standing and reputation among medical professionals worldwide and in the WHO. In addition to laboratories for producing vaccines, Israel developed treatment, rehabilitation and monitoring systems. The impressive response of the Israeli public health authorities to the epidemic established its position among the leading countries worldwide in the field of preventive medicine.","PeriodicalId":219032,"journal":{"name":"Iyunim, Multidisciplinary Studies in Israeli and Modern Jewish Society","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121579041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article coins and defines the term ‘intimate neighborly relations’ and uses it to analyze the living experience of shared apartments and to describe the relationships that were formed between the residents. An anthropological analysis of the overlap between neighbors and home that is implied by the concept of ‘intimate neighbors’ refines our understanding of private and family space among the Jewish middle class in Palestine. Moreover, the article demonstrates the role of gender in neighborliness and urbanity and uncovers how women shaped the intimacy in the shared apartments. The main argument in the article, based on autobiographical and legal documents alongside popular representations of the practice, is that living together with ‘intimate neighbors’ involved inconvenience, embarrassment and even disgust. At the same time, and despite the difficulties, ‘intimate neighbors’ provided a form of human interaction in an immigrant society, in which many experience alienation and loneliness. Finally, the relationships among ‘intimate neighbors’ were simultaneously a personal experience and a public-national issue, especially in the 1940s when it became a widespread phenomenon and conflicts between neighbors escalated.","PeriodicalId":219032,"journal":{"name":"Iyunim, Multidisciplinary Studies in Israeli and Modern Jewish Society","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131295123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Culture was an important and sometimes definitive element in securing the dominance of the Zionist Labor Movement during the Mandate era. The construction and shaping of a new Hebrew culture was a central principle in the movement’s creedal, political, and educational approach. The General Federation of Jewish Labor in Palestine, known as the Histadrut, which was the main institutional player in the shaping of cultural endeavor in Yishuv society, hewed to the spirit of the Socialist Zionist worldview. During this period, the Histadrut emerged as the most progressive, authentic and current cultural agent working to shape the Jewish-Zionist atmosphere and every-day life in Palestine. In the 1930s, the leading figure in the Histadrut’s cultural endeavor was Jacob Sandbank, who operated as part of the Cultural Center established in 1935. According to Sandbank, culture, in the sense of kultura, cannot be ‘manufactured’. Instead, he claimed that it materializes in various spheres of life, and its vital and spiritual elements come about inadvertently – without prior intent, without setting goals, and without dictating things ab initio.","PeriodicalId":219032,"journal":{"name":"Iyunim, Multidisciplinary Studies in Israeli and Modern Jewish Society","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128463874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A group of Betar youths who were affiliated with various Zionist right-wing parties (and who became known as the Schem Group) make seven separate attempts to establish a settlement in Samaria despite the government’s opposition. Each attempt was blocked by the determined response of the security forces. Despite the significant attention devoted by academic research to the attempts at settling the West Bank in the wake of the Six Day War, this particular affair has received little attention. The episode occurred against the backdrop of the dissonance between the impassioned statements made by Menachem Begin—as the leader of Herut and Gahal—that Judea and Samaria should not be given back and the limited settlement initiatives undertaken by the movement. The article examines the determined government response to the settlement attempts, the circles that backed the group and the ambivalent attitude of Menachem Begin (who was a minister-without-portfolio at the time) toward that initiative. The article will describe the bonds forged between the Schem group and the Elon-Moreh gar’in (core group) members who undertook a similar initiative. That initiative eventually succeeded, with the government’s approval for the group to settle in the [army] camp at Kadum.","PeriodicalId":219032,"journal":{"name":"Iyunim, Multidisciplinary Studies in Israeli and Modern Jewish Society","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134084444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
