| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the degree to which various factors at the College of Judea and Samaria or in the region have had a positive influence on the attitudes of the college's graduates towards the region and to what degree these factors contributed to their decision to settle in the area. In this case study this question has special significance beyond that relevant to the influence of an academic institution on a graduate's decision to settle in the region of his/her college. This special significance stems from the fact that the founding documents defining its goals, which accompanied the establishment of the College of Judea and Samaria (hereafter, CJS), explicitly state that it was the intention of the founders of the College to turn the institution into a tool, which would lead the graduates to settle in the region.1
CJS was established in 1982; in 1990 it moved its academic activities from the settlement of Qedumim to Ari'el. The College was authorized by the Council for Higher Education (CHE) to bestow a bachelor's degree in over 20 departments, divided among five faculties: engineering, architecture, social sciences and humanities, natural sciences, and health sciences. By 2005 over 4,500 graduates had received degrees at CJS. One of the advantages of the College among fellow academic institutions is its closeness to the shoreline and to the centre of Israel. Other advantages of the College in Ari'el are its accessibility by good public transportation and the low cost of living for the students in Ari'el.

| Summary/Abstract |
While Holocaust denial existed even during the Holocaust itself, this phenomenon has substantially expanded and diversified over the past decades. This ranged from the advent of technologies that shifted the debate to new platforms and forums, to Israel’s comparison to Nazi Germany, to Islamist-driven Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism on European streets. Paradoxically, concurrently with the intensification of Holocaust denial by Arabs and Muslims, they have made massive use of Holocaust symbols, language, and discourse in their national struggle. This article presents this paradox ‒ Arab Holocaust denial and Holocaust memory manipulation ‒ in an attempt to identify ways and means to address this phenomenon against the backdrop of the Arab‒Israeli conflict.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article deals with the concept of leisure in Israel in terms of time, activity, state of mind, and values. The purpose is to examine changes in how leisure has been conceived in Israel during its 65 years of existence. Which factors have shaped concepts of leisure and styles of leisure in Israel, a country with cultural foundations in both tradition and modernity, and one that encompasses a social culture consisting of new and veteran immigrants, minorities, religious and secular populations? The article examines Israel’s culture of leisure and its transformations. It may have practical implications for the educational challenge of imparting leisure behaviours, promoting understanding and tolerance of those different than us – and possibly even imparting ideal leisure practices.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Israeli academic world has not yet determined its attitude to multidisciplinary approaches, which leads to a lack of institutionalization and regulation in research and in curricular development. The fashion in the 1990s has become a fact, yet the challenge persists: academic institutions offer their students multidisciplinary programmes, considered to be less prestigious, while at the same time displaying scepticism of multidisciplinary research and scholars working in diverse areas of knowledge. The world outside academe has already endorsed multidisciplinary approaches; academe itself is still trying to have its cake and eat it too.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article discusses the contribution of Torah study as leisure activity to social support, hope and quality of life among Israeli adults. It shows that such study is associated positively with learners’ quality of life due to the acquisition of psychological resources that include social support by peers and hope. Shedding light on the world of people who study Torah as a leisure activity, the article also reveals that cultural sources that are part of an ancient tradition seem to contribute to one’s quality of life in the modern world as well.
