...Gurion tried to save all of the European Jews. He says that their reasoning was that they needed more Jews for their Zionist mission of getting a Jewish state to be fulfilled, but other than that, they did not care so much about them. Weitz uses a few quotes and documents from Jewish Agency meetings in order to show his idea, as well as the opinions of other historians who agree with him, such as Teveth and Dina Porat. Eliash tries to demonstrate, using mainly quotes as primary source evidence, that Ben Gurion and the Jewish Agency, as well as the Chief Rabbinate of Palestine, tried to save as many Jews as possivle, and that those saved were not specially selected. One of her reasons is that the Aliyah in which the Jews were saved from the Holocaust, Aliyah Bet, was an illegal Aliyah, and the Jewish Agency could not simply bring everyone into the country. Although what they did in the beginning was try to save young Zionist leaders, who could become the future of the Jewish state in Palestine, once the Holocaust had started, and reports of what was going on began to reach them, they turned over part of their authority to other groups, such as the Chief Rabbinate. The Chief Rabbinate came from a halakhic standpoint, and said that all Jews should be saved, and be treated equally. Rav Yitzchak Herzog was one of the rabbis who tried to get as many Jews as possible out of Europe, especially Poland and Lithuania, regardless of who they were. The Jewish Agency supported the Chief Rabbinate...

...was hard for them to be accepted in the country. America’s immigration rules were a little strict when this was happening and with the hundreds of thousands of jews trying to escape to America only 200,000 were accepted in all. In the end America’s involvement in the holocaust was very significant because they helped in the war and they also accepted jewish people who were coming from Europe escaping the terror of the Nazis (“The United States”). Today the jewish population is mainly in Israel. During and after the holocaust jews immigrated to many places but the most noticeable place is Israel. This is because during the holocaust fleeing jews needed some place to go, so some jews migrated to Palestine. This migration was called the fifth Aliyah. This migration was important because a quarter of a million jews immigrated to Palestine to escape the nazis terror. Later on when war broke out between the Arab states and Israel many jews moved. These jews fled from the arab states to Israel under threat of persecution and desire to fulfill Zionist dreams. Because of this Israel became the most well known place for the jewish population. Today israel became the jewish state where a lot of jewish people live there after the holocaust and WWII(“History of Jewish”). If America’s involvement in the war and the holocaust wasn't as significant as it really was or if they didn’t get involved at all what would’ve happened? Well if the united states didn't help out with the holocaust there would...

...Starbucks Case Study Aliyah Gonzales BUS/475 March 31, 2014 Todd Goodling Introduction Established in 1971, Starbucks is one of the most recognized and most successful coffee chains in the world. They did not become so successful without a solid business strategy. Although part of Starbucks’ success comes from saturating the market with Starbucks Coffee Shops, the first and most important part of their strategy was to make Starbucks a great place to work. Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks, believed that the company’s success hinged on customers having a great experience during their visits. This meant the employees must be knowledgeable about the products, have pleasing attitudes, and be passionate about Starbucks’ coffee and customers’ satisfaction. In addition to placing their values on the customer and the employees, Starbucks also upholds an environmental mission statement. The corporate values and business principles are the foundation of Starbucks’ business model and the key to their company culture success. The values of Starbucks are the core of daily operations of the organization. Just like any other business, Starbucks must always consider their strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats. They must always challenge themselves to become better than they are today. They must strive to exceed the customers’ expectation of a unique “third place” to spend their time and money. Maintaining a profitable future and their dominant position in the...

...TO OUR FRIENDS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE BAR MITZVAH Bar Mitzvah is an expression that means “subject to the commandments,” meaning that an individual is old enough to take personal responsibility for fulfilling and celebrating the laws of the Torah. This traditionally occurs in his 13th year. By reading from the Torah, saying the blessing for the reading, and by helping to lead the service, the Bar Mitzvah will show he has acquired the knowledge and skill to accept this responsibility and its privileges. Becoming a Bar Mitzvah is not itself a religious service. That is, the Sabbath services are not being conducted because of the Bar Mitzvah. The reverse is true: The boy marks the fact that he is a Bar Mitzvah by participating in the Sabbath service. If no one was celebrating a Bar Mitzvah, the services would still be conducted and the portions read by the boy would be read by another adult member of the congregation. The Sabbath service at Congregation Tifereth Israel is a traditional service conducted almost entirely in Hebrew, the Jewish language of prayer. The form and structure of the service are 1,800 to 2,000 years old, with some sections dating back 2,500 years. For example, the "Musaf" service dates almost to the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem in 586 B.C.E. and was written to replace the sacrificial ceremony in the temple. (It is interesting to note that the synagogue itself, as an institution, dates to that event, when the Jews were...

...experts, educated at yeshivas, religious seminaries. Rabbis translate the Bible and present the importance of Jewish law. As a jewish child begins to come of age, he or she begins to make the decision of whether or not they would like to celebrate their Bar or Bat mitzvah.

...ethnicities, the Land of Israel was predominantly Jewish until the 3rd century.[1] The area became increasingly Christian after the 3rd century and then largely Muslim from the 7th century conquest until the middle of the 20th century. It was a focal point of conflict between Christianity and Islam between 1096 and 1291, and from the end of the Crusades until the British conquest in 1917 was part of the Syrian province of first the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt and then (from 1517) the Ottoman Empire. In the late-19th century, persecution of Jews, particularly in Europe, led to the creation of the Zionist movement. Following the British conquest of Syria, the Balfour Declaration in World War I and the formation of the Mandate of Palestine, Aliyah (Jewish immigration to the Land of Israel) increased and gave rise to Arab–Jewish tensions, and a collision of the Arab and Jewish nationalist movements. Israeli independence in 1948 was marked by massive migration of Jews from both Europe and the Muslim countries to Israel, and of Arabs from Israel leading to the extensive Arab–Israeli conflict.[2] About 42% of the world's Jews live in Israel today. Since about 1970, the United States has become the principal ally of Israel. In 1979 an...

...landed an amazing job at a daycare facility in a low income area. She was so thrilled because this was the first job in 4 years that she was making more than minimum wage. She quit her two fast food jobs and immediately started at the daycare. Unfortunately, after about 3 months she was laid off. They had just recently hired a lady with a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and because you cannot fire someone because another person who is better qualified applied for the job, they simply said it was evaluation related. She came home crying because she had to find another job fast. She does not have any credit cards, savings accounts, or even any “pocket money” from getting paid. After that dispiriting week, she said seriously, “Aliyah, don’t follow in my footsteps. Be the best you can. Not just for you, but for your future.” A role model can come with many different stories and backgrounds. From binge-watching Grey’s Anatomy and actually getting my Certified Nursing Assistant, or CNA, license, I knew something about the medical field was infatuating and I wanted to know more about it. I was fortunate enough to go to a school that offered tech school classes for free to get a jumpstart on careers. A lot of my classmates decided that getting their CNA license was the end of their career journey. I could not stop there. When clinicals came, it was time for the more hands on part, which meant, we had to put our skill to work at a nursing home. After my first day there,...

...Aliyah Johnson English composition/eng comp 123 September 27, 2013 Properly improper I’ve never thought of English as anything other than something people speak on a day to day basis. If I had a choice English wouldn’t have been my first language, or my only language for that matter. My family is mainly made up of women. My grandmother has four daughters and all four daughters had girls except for one. I’m the third out of all my family to go to college. I’m like any other teenager. I speak a whole completely different “English” language when I’m surrounded by my family members. I was brought up that way, to always be respectful of my parents and elders. When I’m with them I speak respectfully. I don’t cuss around them. That’s extremely disrespectful. I’m 18 now and I still don’t swear In front of my family, even though that I’m older they find it “okay” I’ll always see that as disrespectful. I’d never want my child to swear in front of me or anything of that sort so why would I do it in front of my parents. When I’m 60 years old, I still won’t swear in front of them. I’m not the most intelligent person but I know how to speak my language and speak it well. English is used everywhere. I don’t use huge meaningful, powerful words or sayings. If there were an actual system where people had to be placed based on how they speak. I’d be ranked in the middle. I’d put myself there because I’m not illiterate but I’m also not the best speaker in the world. I’d love to learn...
