Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fired stun grenades and rubber bullets at reporters outside the Ramallah compound of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Israeli troops fired stun grenades at a group of at least two dozen reporters attempting to cover the pending arrival of U.S. Middle East envoy Anthony Zinni, who visited the compound on April 5 to meet with Arafat, CPJ has confirmed. Eyewitnesses told CPJ that the journalists had driven to the compound in several armored press cars. Shortly after they arrived and exited the vehicles, IDF troops arrived. The Israeli soldiers then hurled about six stun grenades in their direction. According to CNN, stun grenades “produce a blinding flash and a very loud explosion, designed to disorient those targeted.” One grenade exploded under CNN reporter Michael Holmes’ foot. The IDF troops ordered the journalists to leave and then fired rubber bullets at their armored vehicles, CNN reported. The journalists regrouped and tried to return to the area but were turned back by Israeli troops. Some journalists had their press accreditation confiscated, CPJ sources said.

On Law, Spirituality, and Society in Judaism: An Exchange Between Jacob Katz and Chava Weissler

On Law, Spirituality, and Society in Judaism: An Exchange Between Jacob Katz and Chava Weissler: "f the three words listed in the title of this article, only the third -- so­
ciety -- is a well-defined term. Law in the Jewish context may indicate
the observance of the halakhic prescriptions or the study of the litera­
ture dealing with them. Spirituality may also be derived at least from
three different sources: the Aggadah, that is, the theological, ethical,
and other ideological portions of the Talmudic literature; the religious
philosophy of the Middle Ages and of modern times; and finally, the
mystical lore of the Kabbalah. All the subjects in the two first terms, law
and spirituality, may have some relationship with the third, society. The
nature of these relationships is the focus of this article.

Adherence to certain sets of religious precepts has its social conse­
quences. It sets apart, at least to some degree, those who are involved
in this religious praxis from those who are not. Jewish religion, at least
in its classical, so-called normative phase, covering the postbiblical

On Law, Spirituality, and Society in Judaism: An Exchange Between Jacob Katz and Chava Weissler

On Law, Spirituality, and Society in Judaism: An Exchange Between Jacob Katz and Chava Weissler: "This exchange was proposed by Jacob Katz, who gave an earlier version
of 'Law, Spirituality, and Society' as the keynote address at a May 1994
conference at the Center for Judaic Studies, University of Pennsylvania.
At the conference, Chava Weissler had replied to his paper with an
earlier version of her text 'The Missing Half and the Other Half: A
Feminist and Anthropological Response.' Katz felt -- and Weissler
agreed -- that their discussion merited a fuller and more sustained for­
mat with the opportunity for the two of them to respond to one
another's views."
