Book Synopsis Archaeology, Heritage and Ethics in the Western Wall Plaza, Jerusalem by : Raz Kletter
Download or read book Archaeology, Heritage and Ethics in the Western Wall Plaza, Jerusalem written by Raz Kletter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a critical study of recent archaeology in the Western Wall Plaza area, Jerusalem. Considered one of the holiest places on Earth for Jews and Muslims, it is also a place of controversy, where the State marks ‘our’ remains for preservation and adoration and ‘theirs’ for silencing. Based on thousands of documents from the Israel Antiquities Authority and other sources, such as protocols of planning committees, readers can explore for the first time this archaeological ‘heart of darkness’ in East Jerusalem. The book follows a series of unique discoveries, reviewing the approval and execution of development plans and excavations, and the use of the areas once excavation has finished. Who decides what and how to excavate, what to preserve – or ‘remove’? Who pays for the archaeology, for what aims? The professional, scientific archaeology of the past happens now: it modifies the present and is modified by it. This book ‘excavates’ the archaeology of East Jerusalem to reveal its social and political contexts, power structures and ethics. Readers interested in the history, archaeology and politics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will find this book useful, as well as scholars and students of the history and ethics of Archaeology, Jerusalem, conservation, nationalism, and heritage.

Book Synopsis The Western Wall by : Michal Ronnen Safdie
Download or read book The Western Wall written by Michal Ronnen Safdie and published by Jewish Publication Society of America. This book was released on 1998-06-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western Wall in Jerusalem is undoubtedly recognized as the most sacred and important place in Jewish biblical history and evokes the deepest emotions in millions of Jews the world over. When you stand at the Western Wall, you stand at the center of ancient Israel and at a place where Jewish pilgrims have come for thousands of years. Michal Ronnen Safdie presents an intimate photographic portrait of the Wall and the people who come to pray, to see, to touch, or just to share in the experience of being in its presence. During the course of a day, the Wall receives thousands of different people from as many different cultures and walks of life. Scores of activities take place there, and this book captures them as only the eye of a skilled photographer can: brides and grooms arrive at dusk on the way of their wedding to pose for the perfect wedding shot; a Jew wearing Tefillin holds a video camera in his free hand, pausing in his prayers to capture his own special moment at the Wall; thousands of excited young boys amass at the Wall as they lay Tefillin for the first time. Ronnen Safdie captures the mounting excitement as crowds of people blanket the plaza to celebrate numerous celebrations: religious holidays such as early sunrise prayers for Shavuot, national ceremonies such as Memorial Day, and political events such as the end of a three-day fast by hundreds of Israelis protesting the bloodshed in the region. In contrast there are intimate moments of individuals at the Wall. Photos of everyday life around the Wall show people passing by its shadow on their way to market, and laundry from nearby homes dries in the heat of the Jerusalem midday sun. Combined with this are rare views of Moslems at their holy Friday prayer atop the Temple Mount, while Jews are seen praying below at the foot of the Wall.

Download or read book The West Bank Wall written by Ray Dolphin and published by Pluto Press. This book was released on 2006-03-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the purpose of the West Bank Wall? Since Israel began its construction in 2002, it has sparked intense debate, being condemned as illegal by the International Court of Justice. Israel claims it is a security measure to protect Israeli citizens from terrorist attacks. Opponents point to the serious impact on the rights of Palestinians, depriving them of their land, mobility and access to health and educational services. In The West Bank Wall, Dolphin explores the Palestinian experience of the Wall and places the debate in its international context. Dolphin's writing is informed by his work for the UN, where for three years he monitored and compiled reports on the Wall's impact on the humanitarian conditions in refugee camps, towns and villages. With an introduction by Graham Usher, who has worked as Palestine correspondent for major international publications including the Economist, Middle East International, al Ahram English Weekly, the Guardian and Le Monde Diplomatique, this book puts the purpose of the Wall to the test. What are the real intentions behind the Israeli security argument? Is it a means of securing territory permanently through an illegal annexation of East Jerusalem? Ray Dolphin provides some answers, offering a unique critical account of the impact of the wall and how it affects plans for a Palestinian state and for future peace in the Middle East.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2016 JEWISH BOOK COUNCIL AWARD FOR CONTEMPORARY JEWISH LIFE AND PRACTICE An inspiring and accessible guide, drawn from Jewish wisdom, for building the inner qualities necessary to work effectively for social justice. The world needs changing—and you’re just the person to do it! It’s a matter of cultivating the inner resources you already have. If you are serious about working for social justice and change, this book will help you bring your most compassionate, wise, and courageous self to the job. Bringing positive social change to any system takes deep self-awareness, caring, determination, and long-term commitment. But polarization, the slow pace of change, and internal conflicts among activists and organizations often leads to burnout and discouragement among the very people needed to make a difference. Changing the World from the Inside Out distills centuries of Jewish wisdom about cultivating and refining the inner life into an accessible program for building the qualities necessary to accomplish sustainable change. Through explorations of deep motivation, inner-drive, and traits like trust and anger, this book engages the reader in a journey of self-development and transformation, demonstrating that sustainable activism is indeed a spiritual practice. Jaffe offers accessible and meaningful guidance for this journey—with exercises, contemplations, and discussion points that can be used individually or in a group.

Download or read book Under Jerusalem written by Andrew Lawler and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spellbinding history of the hidden world below the Holy City—a saga of biblical treasures, intrepid explorers, and political upheaval “A sweeping tale of archaeological exploits and their cultural and political consequences told with a historian’s penchant for detail and a journalist’s flair for narration.” —Washington Post In 1863, a French senator arrived in Jerusalem hoping to unearth relics dating to biblical times. Digging deep underground, he discovered an ancient grave that, he claimed, belonged to an Old Testament queen. News of his find ricocheted around the world, evoking awe and envy alike, and inspiring others to explore Jerusalem’s storied past. In the century and a half since the Frenchman broke ground, Jerusalem has drawn a global cast of fortune seekers and missionaries, archaeologists and zealots, all of them eager to extract the biblical past from beneath the city’s streets and shrines. Their efforts have had profound effects, not only on our understanding of Jerusalem’s history, but on its hotly disputed present. The quest to retrieve ancient Jewish heritage has sparked bloody riots and thwarted international peace agreements. It has served as a cudgel, a way to stake a claim to the most contested city on the planet. Today, the earth below Jerusalem remains a battleground in the struggle to control the city above. Under Jerusalem takes readers into the tombs, tunnels, and trenches of the Holy City. It brings to life the indelible characters who have investigated this subterranean landscape. With clarity and verve, acclaimed journalist Andrew Lawler reveals how their pursuit has not only defined the conflict over modern Jerusalem, but could provide a map for two peoples and three faiths to peacefully coexist.
