A Cultural Revolt: How Culture Influenced the Czechoslovak Movement Against Communism
No full textThe 20th century was a period of radical change for the Czechoslovak people. It was marked by political transformations and foreign interventions that brought social changes. In 1948, Czechoslovak history changed dramatically when the Czechoslovak Communist Party took control of the country through a coup d\u27état marking the beginning of over 40 years of political and cultural repression under communist rule. This paper aims to examine the role that Czechoslovak culture played in the movements against communism and argue that the anti-communist movements in Czechoslovakia were primarily intellectual and cultural-driven revolutions. This paper achieves this by examining the demands of revolutionaries, key figures, and institutions from the Prague Spring to the Velvet Revolution

“By Virtue of Righteous Women Was Israel Redeemed:” The Support Institution of the Yishuv by Qupat Qiryat Ḥanna in the Mid-19th Century
No full textThe early Zionist revival movement and the renewed Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel from the beginning of the nineteenth century gained a diverse research interest. Such studies often give the impression that the immediate environment promoting these trends was led exclusively by male leadership. However, it seems that the place of women is almost absent in everything related to the movement, and their promotion is almost wholly. It is possible to exempt reference to this due to the social norms that generally prevailed regarding the function and role of women in Jewish spaces within various communities. Thus, the Jerusalem congregation established a donation fund for the Jewish community in Jerusalem. They imposed on women a fixed tax obligation corresponding to Jewish women\u27s rituals such as Challah, Nida, and candle lighting. Since these dates associated with the lives of Jewish women occurred every week or every month, the sums collected in the funds were fairly substantial. Evidently, they were a significant source of income for Gabayim (treasurers) and Shadarim (emissaries), who originated from Eretz Israel. In this article, the historical background of the fund\u27s establishment, including the use of the funds collected from it, is described.
