The Origins of Anachnu Kan

1 June 1986Articles, Israel and the Diaspora, Soviet JewryColin Shindler

Anachnu Kan (‘We are here”), the popular Israeli song and dance ensemble, recently visited Britain to sing in the Yom Ha’atzmaut concert. Many of the members were amongst the wave of immigrants who were permitted to leave the USSR following the mass protests and sit-ins at the beginning of 1971. As their name suggests, this…

International Colloquium of the Jewish Press

1 June 1986Articles, Israel and the DiasporaColin Shindler

One suspects that only in the Jewish world could a conference of journalists be deemed to “preserve” a people. Accordingly, the recent Jerusalem-based International Colloquium of the Jewish Press was subtitled “The role of the Jewish press in preserving the Jewish people”. This odd premise was variously interpreted by the conference speakers. Chaim Herzog, President…

The Sounds of Silence

1 December 1985Articles, Israel and the Diaspora, Universal questionsColin Shindler

The people of Israel are remarkably innovative and Moshe Efrati’s dance company is a good example. It is called Kol Demama—the Voice of Silence. Such a name may conjure up many misleading images—for many of Efrati’s dancers are totally deaf. How do the deaf and the hearing communicate with each other? How do the worlds…

Louis Rabinowitz

1 September 1985Articles, Israel and the Diaspora, JudaismColin Shindler

JEWISH opposition to apartheid is not necessarily related to political or religious affiliation. This was well-proven by an Orthodox rabbi and supporter of Herut who died last year: Louis Isaac Rabinowitz. A leading figure in the Orthodox rabbinate and considered by many as Chief Rabbi material, Rabinowitz served from 1944-1961 as Chief Minister of the…

Standing on the Sidelines

1 November 1984Israel and the DiasporaColin Shindler

  The Board of Deputies of British Jews is a traditional animal. It is a creature of great longevity and the respectable backbone of Anglo-Jewry. It defends Jewish interests and is regarded by the outside world as the legitimate voice of the Jewish community. Despite its hard work and manifest good intentions, there is still…

Where Public Relations has replaced Ethics

20 August 1976Articles, Israel and the DiasporaColin Shindler

Despite Eric Moonman’s optimism, there appears little, if any, sign of increased intellectual involvement in the Zionist movement. A conference of academics in support of Israel cannot be cited as involvement. All too often, public relations exercises have been presented as genuine debate. It would seem that with the exception of youth groups and students,…

New approach to Soviet Jewry work needed

11 July 1975Articles, Israel and the Diaspora, Soviet Jewry, Soviet JewryColin Shindler

The call for the establishment of a national Conference on Soviet Jewry would be a welcome development in co-ordinating future activities and would satisfy many of the complaints now being made. Until a few months ago, there were four definable groups within the campaign. The “old guard” centred very much on the Board’s Soviet Jewry…
