| Summary/Abstract |
The major civilizations of in human history have been associated with the major religious systems. Some
3,000 years ago Zoroastrianism was the religion of the "glory of ancient Persia," - the Persia that conquered" Babylon, Palestine, Egypt, and the Greek city-states. A few centuries later Judaism was the basis of Hebrew culture, which some philosophers such as Karl Jaspers regards as the greatest in history. And Jewish law has formed the I basis of common law and jurisprudence in countries all over the world. Western culture, until the rise of modem science, was dominated by Christianity. The teachings_ of Islam that burst upon world stage some 1400 years a go preserved and developed the Hellenistic heritage and gave algebra and other sciences. It was probably the greatest civilization the world had seen until the rise of the - Industrial Revolution began to transform Western culture. Today, the tumult of our age of transition is characteristic of the impetuosity and irrational instincts of youth. its follies, its prodigality, its pride, its self- assurance. its rebelliousness, and contempt of discipline.

| Summary/Abstract |
Yardena Cohen (1910–2012), a dancer, choreographer and teacher, is considered one of the founding mothers of Hebrew dance. After studying in Austria and Germany, Cohen began developing her dance career in the early 1930s in Mandatory Palestine by creating and performing solo dances, and later on by creating festivities for the kibbutzim and teaching dance. This article investigates Cohen’s unique action and contribution to the development of Hebrew culture within the context of shaping and formulating a nation-state and a national culture for the new Jewish Yishuv. By way of doing so, it will explore Cohen’s employment of ancient materials stretching back to biblical times combined with formal frameworks inspired by German dance expressionism in an attempt to determine whether and to what extent she conformed to the Yishuv’s ideology or found a way to express her unique, and sometimes non-conformist, voice.
