Abstract:

Founded in 1892, the National Library of Israel (NLI) serves as the vibrant institution of national memory for the Jewish people worldwide and Israelis of all backgrounds and faiths. Its four core collections – Israel, Judaica, Islam and Middle East, and the Humanities – tell the historical, cultural and intellectual story of the Jewish people, the State of Israel and the Land of Israel and its region throughout the ages. The NLI’s current transformative renewal aims to encourage diverse audiences in Israel and across the globe to engage with these treasures in meaningful ways through a range of innovative educational, cultural and digital initiatives. The most tangible manifestation of this transformation is the new NLI campus, now under construction adjacent to the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) in Jerusalem, and on schedule to open its doors in 2022. NLI’s renewal and dual mandate requiring it to engage diverse domestic and international audiences, as well as the massive construction project underway, have in many ways magnified the challenges posed by this difficult period, as well as – and perhaps even more so – the opportunities it presents. While the response to these unprecedented and unforeseen circumstances has largely been ad hoc, the NLI approach has been guided by the goal of protecting the health and welfare of its staff and users, and identifying strategic opportunities to not only make the most of the difficulties presented by this complex new reality but also build programs and initiatives to help achieve strategic goals. Following a brief summary of the crisis in Israel, this article presents a number of examples of the physical, logistical and programmatic adaptations NLI has implemented in attempting to maximise potential opportunities in best fulfilling its mission during this time.

Abstract:

The review essay claims that no books plunder was initiated by the National and University Library in Jerusalem, neither with regard to the books of European Jewry found after World War II, nor with regard to the Palestinian books abandoned during the 1948 war, or the Yemenite Jewish books not claimed after their arrival as cargo without owners to Israel. The essay is a translated and annotated version of Zeev Gries's talk, given in Hebrew at a literary evening in the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute (February 12, 2015), on the occasion of the publication of Gish Amit's book.

Abstract:

The fascinating story of the creation and development of this unique collection is matched only by the collection's importance as a resource of primary material for research in the social sciences, the humanities, and even the exact sciences. With over five and a half thousand leading Jewish personalities represented in their original handwriting, Abraham Schwadron's autograph collection is more than just the first Jewish Who's Who. The inscribed visiting cards, literary manuscripts, handwritten letters, and even musical scores are all evidence of a Jewish social milieu and cultural enterprise that stretches from the sixteenth century to the present day. The collection is a written record of the history of the Jewish people as it unfolded. No less dramatic is the man behind the collection, who from his youth in Galicia decided he would build a national Jewish autograph collection for the Jewish people and bring it to Jerusalem. The National Library of Israel is presently working to make this whole collection accessible to the public, first by rendering the collection searchable through the Library's online catalogue and then by digitizing the entire collection of autographs. This article traces the history of the collection, introduces the intriguing figure of Abraham Schwadron and his rationale for building the collection, and reveals the many ways that the collection's rich and fascinating potential can be used as a resource of original source material. At the end of the article there is brief reference to the National Library of Israel's project for digitizing the collection.

Abstract:

During April–May 1948, almost the entire population of the residential Arab neighborhoods of West Jerusalem fled the fighting, leaving behind fully furnished houses, some with rich libraries. This article is about the "book salvage operation" conducted by the Jewish National and University Library, which added tens of thousands of privately owned Palestinian books to its collections. Based on primary archival documents and interviews, the article describes the beginnings and progress of the operation as well as the changing fortunes of the books themselves at the National Library. The author concludes with an exploration of the operation's dialectical nature (salvage and plunder), the ambivalence of those involved, and an assessment of the final outcome.

Abstract:

The article describes the history of appearance of the Baron Ginzburg Collection in the holdings of the Russian State Library. This Collection of Jewish and Arabic books and manuscripts of Baron Ginzburg is considered to be one of the treasures of the Russian State Library. The manuscript part of the Collection consists of 1913 units of the 14th - 19th centuries. In 2010 the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu during his official visit to the Russian Federation raised the issue of transfer of the Ginzburg Collection to Israel “as a reciprocal gesture of good will” (the building of St. Sergius Metochion in Jerusalem was returned to the Russian Federation at the end of 2008). The search of documents relating to the fate of the Baron Ginzburg Collection in Russia held in the Russian archives produced unexpected results. After the First World War the Society of Friends of the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem (JNUL), created in London, got interested in the Ginzburg Collection. At the beginning of the 1920s representatives of JNUL claimed that Baronesse M. Ginzburg had been paid in advance and there had been drawn the act of purchase and sale of the Collection. However, they did not submit any documents which could confirm the version of sale of the Collection. By that time books and manuscripts were nationalized as scientific treasures and got held at the Rumyantsev Museum. The Museum leadership and Soviet Jewish community objected the idea of transfer of the Collection. Director of JNUL G. Leve appealed to V. I. Lenin, to A. Lunacharsky, the People’s Commissar of Education, and to other leaders of the Soviet Russia to solve the matter concerning the transfer of the Collection to Jerusalem. The request was supported by the famous scientist Albert Einstein. His letters to A. Lunacharsky are published for the first time.

Abstract:

The exchange of letters between the Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem (1859– 1916) and the Hebrew poet Judah Leib (Leon) Gordon (1830–1892) took place in 1888– 1890 and deals with the challenging problems facing Jewish literature at the end of the nineteenth century. This correspondence is published here for the first time in its entirety, bringing together the original letters from the National Library of Israel (Jerusalem), Beth Shalom Aleichem (Tel-Aviv) and the private collection of Isaak Kofman (Santa Clara, CA). Two letters, originally written in Yiddish and Hebrew, are presented here in Russian translation. The other seven letters are presented in the original Russian with numerous insertions in Yiddish, Hebrew and Aramaic.

Abstract:

Continuing the investigation into the economic incorporation and political exclusion of Palestinians, Chapter 14 analyzes the 2007 High Court ruling (the Givat Zeev case) which asserted the right of Palestinians employed by Israelis to benefit from the frameworks and protections granted all Israeli workers. This is viewed as the expansion of Israel’s judicial authority outside its official borders, but at the same time the national borders of the (Jewish) political community are guarded as diligently as ever, as reflected in Israel’s relation to “Arabs” and in its zigzagging migrant labor policies. However, the state makes great effort to integrate Palestinian citizens into the workforce, fearing the growth of “unproductive” populations. The chapter asserts that East Jerusalem Palestinians epitomize politically excluded labor: Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem left them caught between physical inclusion and precarious employment, and a political exclusion far more ostentatious than that endured by Israel’s Palestinian citizens.

Abstract:

Dana Hercbergs’ Overlooking the Border is a study of popular narratives on Jerusalem, based on the fieldwork she did in the city between 2007-2008 and 2014-2016. More precisely, she deals with stories told by contemporary Jerusalemites—both Israeli Jews and Palestinians, who come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Enriched with maps and photographs, the well-written text moves between past and present as the narrators recount their everyday life experiences, inevitably touching upon the ways their lives are influenced by political and social realities. Hercbergs does not limit her sources to informants and storytellers, or to interviews, guided tours, or a visit to a family living in the Shu’afat refugee camp. She also rightly considers material expressions such as street plaques, posters, architectural projects, a permanent photography exhibit of family portraits and street scenes in West Jerusalem, and the Palestinian Heritage Museum. The border that the book discusses is multidimensional: social, physical, ethnic, and national....

Abstract:

This section discusses the story of how Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity evolved into a full-fledged theory. Einstein's manuscript, “The Foundation of General Relativity,” marks the conclusion of his intellectual odyssey toward his General Theory of Relativity. He submitted the manuscript for publication to Wilhelm Wien, the editor of Annalen der Physik, on March 19, 1916 and was published on May 11 of the same year. The general relativity manuscript is now part of the Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In July 1923, Einstein asked Heinrich Loewe, a prominent member of “The Preparatory Board of the Hebrew University and the Jewish National Library in Jerusalem” to sell the manuscript. This section explains how the manuscript of “The Foundation of General Relativity” made its way to the Hebrew University.

Abstract:

Two weeks into the Adolf Eichmann trial, toward the end of April 1961, the poet Haim Gouri, who chronicled the proceedings for a local Israeli newspaper, wrote in his column: “The country carries on as usual, day and night, and this trial accompanies it. The one goes on, the other alongside. Away from the courtroom, there is no outward sign of it. But it is in the air and the water, it is like dust on the trees.” Writing his impressions from Beit Ha’am, the Jerusalem theater venue converted to host the hearings, Gouri captured something of the sensation that paralleled the trial, that feeling of “something in the air,” gripping and haunting the everyday as the proceedings unfolded. What was in the air, or more precisely on the air, remains implicit in Gouri’s prose. As is often the case with media, their operation is likely to remain invisible or to be taken for granted, a tendency that sometimes occludes further understanding of certain historical episodes. Such is the case with the Eichmann trial, an event profoundly marked by what was then the principal mass medium in Israel—the radio. The Eichmann trial has recently received renewed attention from scholars in various fields. Indeed, some mention the role of radio during the time of the trial. To quote a few notable references: “Much of the trial was carried live on the radio; everywhere, people listened—in houses and offices, in cafés and stores and buses and factories.” “The trial, the full sessions of which were broadcast live on national radio, changed the face of Israel, psychologically binding the pastless young Israelis with their recent history and revolutionizing their selfperception.” “Broadcast live over the radio and passionately listened to, the trial was becoming the central event in the country’s life.” “The Eichmann trial was the most important media event in Israel prior to the Six Day War. . . . Young and old could be seen radio in hand everywhere—in constant earshot of the broadcast from Beit Ha’am.”
