With a light touch and many wonderful illustrations, historian Anat Helman investigates "life on the ground" in Israel during the first years of statehood. She looks at how citizens--natives of the land, longtime immigrants, and newcomers--coped with the state's efforts to turn an incredibly diverse group of people into a homogenous whole. She investigates the efforts to make Hebrew the lingua franca of Israel, the uses of humor, and the effects of a constant military presence, along with such familiar aspects of daily life as communal dining on the kibbutz, the nightmare of trying to board a bus, and moviegoing as a form of escapism.Ê In the process Helman shows how ordinary people adapted to the standards and rules of the political and cultural elites and negotiated the chaos of early statehood.

"Becoming Israeli" captures the story of aliyah, of Jews moving their entire lives and futures to Israel. To tell this story, Akiva Gersh recruited 40 bloggers whose words take readers on an adventure that evokes a wide range of emotions, from frustration to inspiration, from confusion to deep pride. It is a record and a testament to what drives olim (immigrants) to make aliyah, gives voice to the challenges they face acclimating to a new language and culture, and illustrates vividly why they would never want to live anywhere else. You will literally laugh out loud as well as wipe away tears as you journey through the world of aliyah with these bloggers who want to share their story. A story which, essentially, is the story of the Jewish people coming home.

The story of the Jews of India has often been told by historians, anthropologists and sometimes by Indian Jews themselves recounting their family histories in India, the land of their birth over many generations. We know that Indian Jewish communities: the Bene Israelis in Bombay, Poona, Ahmedabad and Jabalpur, the Baghdadis in Calcutta and Bombay and the Kerala Jews in Cochin, Parur or Chendamangalam lived peacefully in pluralistic neighbourhoods experiencing no anti-semitism. However, when Israel was established, thousands of Indian Jews were inspired and like their cousins from other parts of the globe, migrated to the Jewish Homeland. Yet, today 60 years since the first Jewish families made aliya and migrated to Israel (1949), little is known about this community of 70,000 Indian Jews scattered across Israel. This book, for the first time, presents a deeply researched analysis of all three Jewish communities from India, studying them holistically as Indian-Israelis with shared histories of migration, acculturation and identity in the Jewish Homeland. Based on extensive fieldwork and ethnographic research conducted among Indian Jews across Israel between 2005-8, the book reflects the authors deep engagement and familiarity with Israeli society and the complexities of ethnicity and class that underlie the cleavages within Israeli Jewish society. The volume vividly captures the immigrant experiences of first-generation Indian Jewish men and women. The tapestry of these narratives and lived experiences is skilfully woven into theoretical insights illustrating how ethnicity, gender and class intersect with Jewish-ness to create complex identities of Being Indian and Being Israeli. The authors deep engagement with the Indian-Israeli community and her accessible style enrich this book for readers across a wide range of interests.

The results of the June 1992 Israeli elections indicate that Israel is on the verge of a dramatic political reversal. After fifteen years of right-wing Likud government, the Labor party is back in power. In The New Israelis, Yossi Melman, an award-winning Israeli journalist and author explores the character of his fellow countrymen and women to reveal the agents of change in Israeli society. The new Israelis are undergoing a period of confusion and vulnerability, and the Persian Gulf War struck them a devastating psychological blow. By forcing Israel to stand defenseless before its enemies, the war unleashed hidden and unprecedented conflicts within the Israeli people about their relationship to their own nation. Never before has the very identity of Israel been so challenged as it is today. The Israeli people are torn between a modern secularism and a historical religious tendency that is manifested in both a new and powerful fundamentalism and a widespread obsession with mystical cults. The kibbutz movement and many of the cornerstones of Israel's western socialist democracy are eroding; the emerging free market economy, compulsive consumerism, and the indiscriminate imitation of popular western culture have shaken the Zionist heritage. The traditional patterns of social justice and faith in the righteousness of Israel's defensive wars have been eroded by a combination of corruption and a recognition that the facts of Israel's history do not correspond to its mythology. The persistence of the Palestinian dilemma and the state's continuing role as occupier have haunted Israeli life. After a half-century of fighting wars, Israelis are finally weary. Knowing his country and the dilemmasit faces, Yossi Melman looks at Israeli history and contemporary life in a new way: He is both critical of and sympathetic toward the paradoxes of Israeli life. In The New Israelis he offers a dramatic and intimate view of how the Israeli people are facing their changing nation and what that portends for the future of Israel, the Jewish diaspora and the rest of the world.

The integration and adjustment of immigrants in Israel has long been of interest to both social scientists and policymakers. This study concerns Jews from Turkey who have moved to Israel between 1948 and 1987. It explores how and why they have done well socially and economically in Israel, and how they have maintained much of Turkish identity while at the same time becoming respected Israelis. The study finds that one of Turkish Israelis' unique characteristics is that they are 'un-seen, ' i.e. that they have no general 'image' in Israel as do most other country-of-origin groups, and that one of the factors which accounts for this is the history of their 500 years in Turkey.

This thought-provoking book, the first of its kind in the English language, reexamines the fifty-year-old nation of Israel in terms of its origins as a haven for a persecuted people and its evolution into a multi- cultural society. Arguing that the mono-cultural regime built during the 1950s is over, Baruch Kimmerling suggests that the Israeli state has divided into seven major cultures. These seven groups, he contends, have been challenging one other for control over resource distribution and the identity of the polity. Kimmerling, one of the most prominent social scientists and political analysts of Israel today, relies on a large body of sociological work on the state, civil society, and ethnicity to present an overview of the construction and deconstruction of the secular-Zionist national identity. He shows how Israeliness is becoming a prefix for other identities as well as a legal and political concept of citizen rights granted by the state, though not necessarily equally to different segments of society.

This is an ethnographic study of Ethiopian Jews, or Beta Israel, a few years after their migration from rural Ethiopia to urban Israel. For the Beta Israel, the most significant issue is not, as is commonly assumed, adaptation to modern society, but rather 'belonging' in their new homeland, and the loss of control they are experiencing over their lives and those of their children. Ethiopian Jewish immigrants resist those aspects of the dominant society which they dislike: they reject normative Jewish practices and uphold Beta Israel religious and cultural ones, ideologically counteract disparaging Israeli attitudes, develop strong ethnic bonds and engage in overt forms of resistance. The difficulties of the present are also overcome by creating a perfect past and an ideal future: in what the author calls 'the homeland postponed', all Jews will be united in a colour-blind world of material plenty and purity.

" . . . an original interpretation of the wide-ranging impact of the military on Israeli society . . . one of the most insightful works on Israeli society in general." —Gershon Shafir From the early days of the Yishuv, militarism and the military have become a way of life for Israelis. Focusing on the period between 1936 and 1956, Uri Ben-Eliezer traces the ways in which military force acquired legitimacy in civilian society and how the use of organized violence became an acceptable solution to conflicts, especially the Arab-Israeli conflict.
