“…The recent liberal Jewish renewal witnessed in Israel, such as gender‐equal Orthodox circles, or pluralist Bible reading groups, are structurally and institutionally separated from the liberal denominations (Cohen and Susser ; Ferziger ). Tabory (:1) suggests two reasons why liberal Jewish movements did not “catch up” in Israel as they did in the United States. The first is that because in Israel Jews are the majority, and holidays and life‐cycling events are based on Jewish culture, non‐Orthodox Israeli Jews “have no need” for a religious movement that defines their Jewish identity (Tabory :186).…”

Translating Spirituality: Universalism and Particularism in the Diffusion of Spiritual Care from the United States to Israel

2018

Research on the transnational diffusion of ideas and practices shows how cultural objects go through translation, adaptation, and vernacularization when implemented in new localities. Less attention is given to the translators themselves and their heterogeneous and often conflicting visions. Drawing on the notion of transnational social fields (TSFs), this article investigates how cultural objects get vernacularized differently in different parts of the TSF, demonstrating how processes of translation reflect larger social and political struggles over questions of identity. As a case study, we focus on the attempt of actors from Israel and the United States to institutionalize spiritual care in Israeli health‐care organizations. The analysis reveals how spiritual care functioned as a porous cultural object, open to a wide range of interpretations and debates. While actors in New York saw in spiritual care the opportunity to bridge to Israeli Jews and create a global Jewish identity, Israeli actors split between using spiritual care as a vehicle for creating a local Israeli Jewish identity and seeing in spiritual care the opportunity to establish universal identities, broader than the Jewish one. The disagreement and conflicts between the groups influenced the translation process, turning it into a contentious struggle that involved different positions on the continuum between particularism and universalism.

The rich literature on the problematic aspects of EU-Israel relations focuses on historical, structural, politico-economic, legal, institutional, geo-political and strategic causes. An attempt will be made in this article to contribute to the existing scholarship by focusing on a novel angle, namely the negative role of the lack of adequate and informed European-Israeli dialogue in constituting European-Israeli relations. Against the backdrop of the theoretical analysis of the role of dialogue in International Relations, this article examines the lack of adequate European-Israeli dialogue, analysing its causes and the negative role that it plays in constituting European-Israeli relations. The article demonstrates that such lack of dialogue is caused not only by mutual ignorance, prejudice, misinformation, mistrust and antagonism, but also causes these same factors to characterise European-Israeli relations.

“…62 That provision merely implies that states can allow separate educational institutions in certain circumstances but does not oblige them to allow such institutions. In article 5(1)(c), 63 however, the contracting states agree to allow members of national minorities to establish and maintain under certain conditions their own educational institutions. 64 Neither provision, though, takes an explicit stance regarding potential positive, including financial, state obligations.…”

Education and Multiculturalism: The Contribution of Minority Rights?

As an introduction it is important to establish the link between minority protection and multiculturalist projects. When one considers the definition of the concept 'minority' the point of departure has to be that so far no general agreement exists. Nevertheless, when studying several proposed definitions it becomes apparent that generally the concept would also be applicable to a multinational state without a majority population. In such states each of the different population groups would qualify as minorities in so far as these groups would have distinctive ethnic, religious or linguistic characteristics and would wish to hold on to that separate identity, would be non-dominant and smaller than the rest of the population. This broad understanding of the term 'minority' reveals and clarifies that multiculturalism and the accommodation of population diversity are intrinsically related to minority protection.This article consists of two main parts, a first part in which the theory regarding education and multiculturalism is discussed and a second part in which the actual contribution of current minority rights standards in this respect is evaluated. A. A Theory Regarding Education and MulticulturalismA first and general remark is that education is crucially important for the preservation and promotion of a specific identity. After a general evaluation, more specific remarks are made about the relation between language and education and between religion and education. As language in education, specifically mother tongue education tends to receive much attention in the context of the analysis of mechanisms that influence multiculturalism, it will be dealt with in more detail. Then, the content of the general curriculum is more broadly discussed against the background of the facilitating function of education in a society characterized by diverse population groups. Finally, the regulation of private education is covered, including possible restrictions and conditions based on government regulations and the issue of financial state support for private educational institutions.
