Dear fellows, alumni, partners and friends, On the occasion of the Jewish New Year and the beginning of the new academic year, we are immensely proud to share with you, some of the achievements of Fulbright Israel Alumni of our Fulbright Israel programs. To attain our objective, we asked our American and Israeli alumni to share with us, their extraordinarily achievements of the past year: published books, awards and prestigious research grants. It was undoubtedly a year full of disruptions and obstacles. Despite this, our outstanding alumni have continued their work, some alone at home, others in capsules on campuses, offices and public spaces. They are a source of inspiration and proof that investing in science, knowledge and building leadership skills, as well as advancing international collaborations, are the best remedy for the diseases of the moment and the challenges we face. We look forward to a new year full of activities and new accomplishments. We wish you all a Happy New Year, filled with health and happiness.

For We Be Brethren: The Turn to the East in Zionist Thought. Jerusalem: The Zalman Shazar Center, 2019 describes the Zionist attitudes towards Asia and the Eastern world, concentrating on various ‘pan-Eastern’ and ‘pan-Semitic’ views that existed within the Zionist realm from the 1880s to the establishment of the State of Israel. Zionist thinkers looked to the ‘East’ (Mizrah) – the Middle East and Asia – for cultural belonging and political identification. These Zionist thinkers and writers framed their quest for Jewish political independence as part of a larger rejection of Europe.

In Left to its Fate, describes the effects of the “Arab Spring” that erupted in the Middle East in the past decade, on the Arab community in Israel, focusing on the unique relationship between the Arab minority in Israel and the state.

Previous studies have focused on the executive branch, but Kolander demonstrates that US-Israel relations did not follow a course preferred by successive presidential administrations, especially in the 1960s and 1970s. The book presents an essential investigation of the ways in which legislators exert influence in foreign policy and adds new depth to the historiography of an important dynamic in postwar world politics.

Marglin’s latest book is: Lehmann, Matthias B., and Jessica M. Marglin, eds. Jews and the Mediterranean. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2020. The book considers the historical potency and uniqueness of what happens when Sephardi, Mizrahi, and Ashkenazi Jews meet in the Mediterranean region. By focusing on the specificity of the Jewish experience, the essays gathered in this volume emphasize human agency and culture over the length of Mediterranean history.

39 Professor Menachem (Menny) Mautner (Fulbright Graduate Student Program, 1979, law, Yale University) is the Danielle Rubinstein Professor of Comparative Civil Law and Jurisprudence at Tel Aviv University. In the past year, Mautner published two books [In Hebrew]: Mautner, Menachem. Yes, We Can: A Mid-Eastern Futuristic Tale. Jerusalem: Carmel Publishing House, 2019. It is a Middle-Eastern futuristic story about the years following a peace treaty between Israel and Palestine, a utopian and dystopian story. Mautner’s second publication is: Mautner, Menachem. Liberalism in Israel: Its History, Problems, and Futures. Tel Aviv: Tel Aviv University Publishing House, 2019. In this work, Mautner describes the reasons for the left-wing Israeli Liberalism failure in Israeli politics and suggests a shift towards liberal multiculturalism, republican liberalism and social liberalism. Dr. Menachem Merhavy (Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship, 2013, Middle Eastern history, University of Texas at Austin) is a fellow at the Truman Institute for the Advancement of Peace at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He teaches in the program of the Middle East and Islamic Studies at Shalem College and Rothberg International School at the Hebrew University.
