Shana Tova [Happy New Year\u27s], Celebrating the New Nation\u27s Air Force

Tan card with scalloped edges. Depicts three ships and four airplanes on and over water, and an Israeli flag on rope. Red printed Hebrew text on top left and across the bottom. Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash: Sending Shana Tova-Jewish New Year- cards has been a venerable Jewish tradition, even as the themes and motifs of these cards have changed with changing times and circumstances. Biblical themes were commonplace for many years. Later cards would reflect the customs and traditions of the eastern European shtetl Jews. Alternatively, they could evoke a sense of pride in their prosperity, carrying on Jewish customs and a thriving family life in larger European cities. As Jews left the “old country” at the turn of the twentieth century for new lands, Shana Tova cards reflected an emigrant’s desire for opportunity, religious freedom, and freedom from persecution in their new homeland. In the wake of the Holocaust, Shana Tova cards could thematize Jewish refugees-the surviving remnant- seeking sanctuary from a Europe devastated by the Nazi scourge. There were perilous journeys in salvaged boats and ships to a Palestine that seemed as elusive as the Promised Land for Moses. Yet as the immigrants eventually settled their new homeland, raising families, working and defending their cities and kibbutzim- men, women and children co-participants in the common project of building a new nation- Shana Tova cards would reflect a burgeoning pride: photos of men and women proudly marching in their military uniforms, but as well singing Hatikvah and dancing the Hora. Shana Tova cards feature this Jewish pioneer who is self-reliant, hardened by working the land, raising a family as well as a military force: a secular Zionist who would never again fall prey to aggressor nations wishing his demise.https://digital.kenyon.edu/bulmash/1316/thumbnail.jp

The Vitality of Indigenous Religious Institutions Maintaining Social Cohesion Among the Gurage People of South Central Ethiopia

This paper is designed to examine the origin, development and dynamics of the traditional religious and social cohesion institutions of Bozhe, Og'yet, shana and bittar among the Gurage of South Western Ethiopia through following historical and contemporary approaches. Following the propagation of Islam and Christianity into the Gurage land, these indigenous institutions have been changed drastically through the processes of syncretization and accommodation. Despite many of the Gurage people were converted either to Christianity or Islam through the historic processes of religious syncretizm, they continued worshipping the Bozhe and Og'yet deities and make use of the indigenous institutions of shana and bittar to handle different dispute cases. At present, the Gurage people show their preference to the indigenous institutions of bittar and shana to handle ritually sanctioned cases that cannot be resolved by state institutions. Therefore, this study needs to examine the role of these indigenous religious and social cohesion institutions in maintaining peace and stability at individual and tribal levels among the Gurage
