Few countries provoke as much passion and controversy as Israel. What is Modern Israel? convincingly demonstrates that its founding ideology - Zionism - is anything but a simple reaction to antisemitism. Dispelling the notion that every Jew is a Zionist and therefore a natural advocate for the state of Israel, Yakov Rabkin points to the Protestant roots of Zionism, in order to explain the particular support Israel musters in the United States.Drawing on many overlooked pages of history, including English, French, Hebrew, Yiddish and Russian sources, Yakov Rabkin shows that Zionism was conceived as a sharp break with Judaism and Jewish continuity. Israel's past and present must be seen in the context of European ethnic nationalism, colonial expansion and geopolitical interests, rather than as an incarnation of Biblical prophecies or a culmination of Jewish history. | Author: Yakov M.

According to Bible Lands and Cities, a typical meal in Galilee would consist of lentil soup and flatbread (usually barley bread). With this they might have had fresh fruits in season (grapes, melon, cantaloupe, figs, apricots, pomegranates, and olives) or dried fruit (dried apricots, figs, and pomegranates). They also might have cheese made from goats milk, and curdled milk (similar to yogurt) sweetened with honey. Meat was rarely eaten except on special occasions. The most common meat was probably dried fish. Other meats eaten included goat, lamb, chicken, geese, duck, pigeon, and quail. Beef was only eaten by the elite. Here are some recipes you can use when recreating a Galilean meal: Lentil Soup with Flatbread (You will need to multiply this for a large group) 7 ounces red lentils 15g (1 tablespoon) rice 1 flat bread 1 tbsp cumin 2 tbsp olive oil 2 onions, sliced Salt Rinse the lentils and rice and put them in a saucepan. Cover lentils with water. Add salt and cumin. Bring to a boil and cook 1 hour. Fry or grill the sliced onions until blackened. Scatter the onions on the soup and serve immediately. Flatbread can be used with the soup in two ways: 1. Serve with soup for dipping, either toaster or untoasted. 2. Cut into bite sized pieces and toast, then sprinkle on soup right before serving. From a recipe found at www.gods-cookbook.com, a website which no longer exists. But I believe the recipe was a sample from the book God's Cook Book: Tracing the Culinary Traditions of the Levant*. *(The link is an amazon link through which I can earn commission, which is donated to a charity of my choice.) Rice was first introduced in Isreal by the Persions, and by the Roman period was a common food and major export. Barley Flatbread This recipe makes 8 loaves. If participants are helping you make this bread, you can also get some barley seed or wheat kernels and have them grind it into flour between two rocks (or a flat rock and a stone rolling pin, which was somewhat like women in Galilee did). I suggest having them grind a small amount and add that to pre-ground store bought barley and wheat flour, since grinding enough to make an entire loaf could be time consuming. 1 teaspoon active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt at room temperature 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup barley flour 1 cup wholewheat flour (or other whole grain) 1/2 teaspoon salt Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Stir the yogurt until it is smooth, then stir in baking soda. The yogurt will froth. Combine salt, barly flour, and wholewheat flour (or alternative) in a large mixing bowl. Stir in yogurt yeast/water mixture. Knead for 10 minutes by hand. Cover the bowl with saran wrap or wet towel and let rise for 1 to 1.5 hours in a warm place. It should doubled in size. Remove the dough from bowl and kneed on a breadboard. Divide into into 8 small balls. Flatten each ball into a 6″ circle. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes. Have cloth ready for pressing the dough and wrapping the finsihed loaves (something you won’t mind getting oil on). Coat a frypan with oil or cooking spray (olive oil would have been used in Galilee, but other oils work just as well). Place dough in the pan (how ever many will fit without touching…and a little room between). Press each circle of dough with the folded cloth to squeeze out air bubbles and prevent air pockets from forming. Cook 1.5 minutes, flip, and cook another minute more. When the bread is cooked the edges of the bread will look moist. Remove from pan and wrap in cloth to keep warm. From a recipe found here. (Recipe modified to add 1st century details). PRINTABLE: This coloring page from Bible Printables features women making flatbread. In rural villages like Nazareth, women would often wake up 3 hours before dawn to grind grain.

In this episode of Hebrew Voices, When is Shemitah (Sabbatical Year), Nehemia Gordon discusses why we don’t know when the Shemitah and Yovel (Jubilee) years are today, whether Shemitah should be observed outside of Israel, and the problem with the Rabbinical observance of Shemitah in modern Israel.

The Cymbalista Synagogue at Tel Aviv University designed as two round tubes that emerge from square basis, symbolizing bipolarity between the prayer hall turning east and the study hall turning west. Located on the site of the former synagogue, destroyed in WWII, the new Livorno synagogue opened in 1962 and is well known for its architecture. The Jewish architect Angelo Di Castro designed a tent like building, following the outlines of the original Tabernacle.
