Imbued with the values of the Bund, especially its insistence on the primacy of human dignity, Edelman continued living by the Bundist ethos, pursuing his medical work and humanitarian activities, eventually translating this ethos into the values of Polish anti-communist dissidents embodied by the Solidarity movement. Based on multiple primary sources, this essay analyzes key aspects of Edelman's performed identities, such as his concept of patriotism (originating in the concept of doikayt or here and now ), his reinterpretations of the particular vs. universal significance of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, his contextualization and minimization of antisemitism in Poland, and his contentious and demonstrative relation to religion. It traces the development of these self-expressions within shifting political exigencies and implied expectations of Polish audiences for whom Edelman became a symbol of the Polish insurrectionary tradition. While Edelman's social and political activism was deeply rooted in his Bundist formation, he was also not immune from modifying his expressions of identity and his (re-)interpretations of historical events in the direction of more patriotic, \"Polish\" narratives that resonated with the Solidarity movement activists, who formed Edelman's milieu in his later life.","PeriodicalId":420478,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Jewish Identities","volume":"12 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140523352","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}

With close to 1,500 pupils today, it has become one of France's largest Jewish schools. Born out of a fear that exclusive reliance on secular French public education could lead to the inexorable erosion of Jewish religious practice and culture in France, the École Maïmonide was designed to provide French Jews with a Jewish alternative to the State's lycées, where pupils could follow a solid Jewish studies program alongside a high-quality general studies syllabus. While such a project implied a degree of separation from mainstream French society, the École Maïmonide's founders remained committed to public education for the majority of Jewish youth and the full integration of their pupils into French society. Analyzing the ways in which these aspirations materialized in the school's day-to-day organization and how the balance between them evolved throughout its history, this case study seeks to further our understanding of the history of Jewish education in France as well as the evolution of the discourse on identity preservation within the French Jewish community.","PeriodicalId":420478,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Jewish Identities","volume":"29 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140516549","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}

Focusing on Jewish activist groups formed in the aftermath of the 1967 war, this article shows that emotions also played a central role in American Jewish mobilization for what is now termed the \"two-state solution\" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. An entire \"genre\" of American Jewish political activism has emerged since 1967 to urge Israel to relinquish captured territories while embracing the Jewish state using emotional terminology. Conforming to a broader emotional regime as a way of staying within the bounds of the constructed American Jewish emotional community, generations of American Jewish activist organizations have emphasized love for Israel while simultaneously pushing for Palestinian self-determination. American Jewish advocates for a two-state solution typically argue that their commitment to a peaceful and stable future for the Jewish state drives them to support the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Using oral histories and archival documents, this article offers a new perspective on such activism during its first decade (1967-1977).","PeriodicalId":420478,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Jewish Identities","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140519294","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}

We explore the subject of inherited sexualized trauma because it is not uncommon to second-generation women, as evidenced by the multiple representations of daughters of survivors who engage in Holocaust-related eroticisms. To make use of a generative case study, we examine Sonia Pilcer’s The Holocaust Kid. The protagonist, Zosha Palovsky, engages in Nazi-Jewess erotic fantasy and role play as a way of addressing, albeit obliquely, her inherited sexualized trauma. Drawing upon the power dynamics described in dominant-submissive sexual fantasies and encounters within Bondage/Domination/Sado-Masochism (BDSM) theory, we suggest that Zosha, by willfully submitting and allowing herself to be sexually dominated by a “Nazi,” paradoxically is in control of the erotic encounter. This control enables her to vicariously assert a measure of agency on behalf of her mother who was stripped of bodily autonomy in Auschwitz. Her vicarious assertion of agency functions as a means of negotiating her postmemory of sexualized violence during the Shoah.","PeriodicalId":420478,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Jewish Identities","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122117028","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}
