Shabak - Foundation.
With the declaration of Israeli Independence, the Shin Bet was founded, as a branch of the Israel Defense Forces, and was headed by Isser Harel (the father of Israeli Intelligence, who later headed the Mossad). Responsibility for Shin Bet activity was later moved from the IDF to the office of the prime minister. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that was declared against Israel following the Israeli independence, the Shin Bet's responsibility included only internal security affairs. It ...

| | | | | Aliyah: Encyclopedia II - Israeli peace camp - Criticism The Israeli peace camp is highly criticized for lacking realism given the absence of a corresponding movement on the Arab side of the conflict. It is also accused for being forgiving toward Palestinian terrorism and not being able to stand up for the rights of the Israelis and the vital interests of Israel. The Israeli peace camp has poor standings in the Israeli public, as regular surveys by the Tami Steinmetz Center for Peace Research show (for example: May 2004). The Tami Steinmetz Center for Peace Research is watching over the Israeli public opinion toward the peace pr ...

Jewish services - Friday night services.
Shabbat services begin on Friday evening with the weekday Mincha (see above), followed in some communities by the Song of Songs, and then in most communities by the Kabbalat Shabbat, the mystical prelude to Shabbat services composed by 17th century Kabbalists. This Hebrew term literally means "Receiving the Sabbath".

| | | | | Aliyah: Encyclopedia II - Torah Umadda - Philosophy Torah Umadda, as formulated today, is to a large extent a product of the teachings and philosphy of Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik (1903-1993), Rosh Yeshiva at Yeshiva University. “The Rav” articulated a paradigm which allowed for a "synthesis" between Torah scholarship and Western, secular scholarship - as well as positive involvement with the broader community; see further on Rav Soloveitchik’s Philosophy and below. Torah Umadda remains closely associated with Yeshiva University.

| | | | | Aliyah: Encyclopedia II - Religion in Israel - Judaism in Israel Most citizens in the State of Israel are Jewish, and most Israeli Jews practice Judaism in some form.
While Judaism has always affirmed a collection of Jewish Principles of Faith, it has never developed a fully binding catechism. While individual rabbis, or sometimes entire groups, at times agreed upon a firm dogma, other rabbis and groups disagreed. With no central agreed-upon authority, no one formulation of Jewish principles of faith could take precedence over any other. Judaism's core belief, however, firmly remains a binding principle agreed upon by Jews of all back ...

Kibbutz - Origins.
Conditions were hard for all subjects of the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but they were especially difficult for Jews. It was the official policy of the Russian government to "cause one-third of the Jews to emigrate, one-third to accept baptism, and one-third to starve." Except for a wealthy few, Jews could not leave the Pale of Settlement; within the Pale of Settlement, Jews could neither live in large cities, such as Kiev, nor any village with fewer than 500 resid ...

While Likud leader Shamir proved often to be an aloof and incompetent player when it came to making coalitions, the construction worker with an eighth grade education was able to enter doors closed on the aging prime minister. These included Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, a powerful Mizrahi rabbi with inclinations towards Shamir's nemesis, Labour leader Peres, and the spiritual leader of the Shas party. Levy helped Likud court into b ...

Kadima - Awaiting a political big bang.
The political tug-of-war between Ariel Sharon and his right-wing supporters, both within the Likud and outside of it, was an on-going subject of speculation in recent Israeli politics and in the Israeli media. An expectation that Sharon would quit his own party to form a new party composed of his Likud allies and open the door to politicians from other parties to quit their own parties to join the new party was dubbed the "big bang" (hamapatz hagadol) of Israeli poli ...

Following the advice of a Brookings Institution report, Carter opted to replace the incremental, bilateral peace talks which had characterized Kissinger's shuttle diplomacy following the 1973 Yom Kippur War with a comprehensive, multilateral approach. This new approach called for the reconvening of the 1973 Geneva Conference, this time with a Palestinian d ...

In 1948, Israel's Declaration of Independence called upon the Arab inhabitants of Israel to "participate in the upbuilding of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions".

Balad supporters, in turn, denounce such charges as mere smear attempts originating Zionist right-wing of Israeli politics and lacking any merit.
In 2002 Bishara was put on trail after allegedly giving speeches in Umm al-Fahm praising the terror organization, Hezbollah, and the armed struggle against Israel. The ...
