    Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense
    Moshe Feldenkrais published Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense as a training manual for Haganah recruits in 1930. The Haganah was a Jewish paramilitary organization, which sixteen-year-old Moshe Feldenkrais joined at its inception in 1920. Ten years later, this book describing his training method was published based on a decade of field experience. His years of hand-to-hand combat spurred Moshe to write this book that presents his unusual self-defense method. The book is based on all movements of defense, where the first movement is the natural reactive movement that a person does without thinking. He concluded that any effective self-defense system must be based on a person's automatic movements when attacked. Shortly after Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense was published, Feldenkrais left Tel Aviv to continue his education in Paris, where he met Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo. After reviewing Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense, Kano engaged Feldenkrais to co-found the Jiu-Jitsu Club de France. Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defense is the first blossom of Moshe's genius. This book contains the seeds that germinated and, many decades later, grew into the Feldenkrais Method®.

    A chilling and explosive tale of revenge set in the Middle East from acclaimed suspense novelist Peter Abrahams, aka Spencer Quinn, author of the Chet and Bernie Mysteries. After his unit is decimated in the Israeli war, Lieutenant Isaac Rehv returns to Haifa to find his family savagely murdered. Torn apart with grief and rage, he vows that his enemies - and the enemies of Israel - will pay. Months later, Rehv, who is a former literary scholar and professor of Arabic literature, has moved to America and is waiting tables at a local café in Manhattan. There, a chance encounter with a member of the Israeli resistance called Haganah and a botched assassination attempt will sow the seeds of a brilliantly orchestrated revenge plot. As Rehv prepares to unleash his secret weapon on an unsuspecting Islamic world, a terrorist watch group, led by a former CIA agent named Krebs, follows his every move. But Krebs may be too late to prevent the coming destruction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: P. J. Ochlan. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/023262/bk_adbl_023262_sample.mp3.

    Dershowitz Family Saga: A Century and a Half of Jewish Life in Poland, Through America, and Into Israel
    The Dershowitz Family Saga traces the significant modern events for world Jewry from the perspective of one immigrant family: their Galician origins in the 19th century; their Americanization and tribulations in the Goldene Medina; the tragedy of World War II and the Holocaust; the establishment of the State of Israel; the fall of communism; and the mass immigrations to Israel from Russia and Ethiopia. It takes the reader from Pilzno to the Lower East Side, from Brooklyn to Jerusalem. The aliyah of many family members before, during, and after the Six-Day War led to their involvement in the absorption of Ethiopian, Soviet, and former Crypto-Jews into the nascent state. The intellectual and spiritual heritage of the Dershowitz family is an American-Israeli success story. The author's grandfather established the first Hassidic congregation in Brooklyn; his father conceived Yeshiva Torah Vodaath; a brother served on the European front but his gun ended up with the Haganah; his nephew is the outspoken civil libertarian and advocate of Israel, Alan Dershowitz. A fascinating journey around the world through Zecharia Dor-Shav's unique lens.

    Black September: The History and Legacy of the Conflict Between the Palestinians and Jordan in 1970 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
    On May 14, 1948, the British Mandate officially expired. That same day, the Jewish National Council issued the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel. About 10 minutes later, President Truman officially recognized the State of Israel, and the Soviet Union also quickly recognized Israel. However, the Palestinians and the Arab League did not recognize the new state, and the very next day, armies from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq invaded the former British Mandate to squelch Israel, while Saudi Arabia assisted the Arab armies. Jordan would also get involved in the war, fighting the Israelis around Jerusalem.  Initially, the Arab armies numbered over 20,000 soldiers, but the Zionist militia groups like the Lehi, Irgun, and Haganah made it possible for Israel to quickly assemble the Israel Defense Forces, still known today simply as the IDF. By the end of 1948, the Israelis had over 60,000 soldiers and the Arab armies numbered over 50,000. In early 1949, Israel began signing armistices with Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, which left Israel in control of nearly 75% of the lands that were to be partitioned into the two states under the 1947 plan. Jordan now occupied Judea and Samaria, which later became known as the West Bank due to its position on the western bank of the Jordan River. Jordan also occupied three quarters of Jerusalem, with the Israelis controlling only about a quarter in the western part of the city. To the west, Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip. The new armistice lines became known as the “Green Line”, and the conflict has continued to involve those lines and the issues that were contested in a war now nearly 70 years old. In early June 1967, the Israelis captured Jordanian intelligence that indicated an invasion was imminent. On June 5, the Israelis launched a preemptive attack that knocked out the air forces of its Arab neighbors. Over the next six days, the Israelis overwhelmed the Egyptians in the west, destroying th ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

    Tsahal
    Nach SHOAH, dem wohl bedeutendsten Beitrag zum Gedenken an das Undenkbare, und WARUM ISRAEL, einer neugierigen und heiteren Annäherung an die noch junge Nation Israel, folgt nun der letzte und kontroverseste Teil von Lanzmanns jüdischer Trilogie: TSAHAL, ein Film über Israel und die israelische Armee (Tsava Haganah Leisrael = Armee zur Verteidigung Israels), entstanden zwischen 1991 und 1994. Wieder sucht sich der engagierte Publizist und epochale Dokumentarist den Zugang zu Geschichte und Gegenwart ausschließlich über die lebendige Stimme ihrer Protagonisten. Er befragt dabei vor allem israelische Militärs, aber auch Politiker, Palästinenser, Siedler und Schriftsteller aus der israelischen Friedensbewegung. Im Laufe der fünfstündigen Bestandsaufnahme entsteht das komplexe Panorama eines anhaltenden Ausnahmezustands vor dem Hintergrund karger Wüstenlandschaften, moderner Städte und geisterhafter Siedlungen in den besetzten Gebieten.'Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass der Holocaust nicht allein ein Massaker an Unschuldigen war, sondern dass es ein Massaker an Menschen war, die keine Verteidigung hatten, die nicht wehrhaft waren, das heißt an Leuten, die zum allergrößten Teil seit Generationen und Jahrhunderten nicht daran gewöhnt waren, Waffen zu gebrauchen und Gewalt anzuwenden. Daher handelt es sich bei TSAHAL um die Fortsetzung von SHOAH. Ich wollte zeigen, wie in der israelischen Armee das Trauma des Holocaust bis heute bestimmend ist. Im Zentrum von TSAHAL steht das Problem, dass man angreifen muss, wenn man nicht sterben will, und dass man zugleich diesen Angriff nach Möglichkeit vermeiden will.' Claude Lanzmann 'Ohne Tsahal (die Armee zur Verteidigung Israels) hätte sich die Frage nach dem Frieden zwischen Israel und seinen ehemaligen Feinden niemals gestellt: Israel würde nicht mehr existieren. Dieser Film fühlt sich nicht der Tagesaktualität verpflichtet, sondern fügt sich ein in den langen Zeitablauf der Geschichte. Er trägt zum tiefen Verständnis dessen bei, was von israelischer Seite aus die Ereignisse von heute vorbereitet und möglich gemacht hat. Er erzählt den langen Weg Israels bis hin zur Anerkennung durch 6 große Kriege hindurch und 46 Jahre permanenter Alarmbereitschaft. Dieser lange Weg wird eines Tages vielleicht zum Abschied von den Waffen führen mit allen damit verbundenen Chancen, Hoffungen und Risiken.' Claude LanzmannErgänzt um ein Gespräch zwischen Claude Lanzmann und dem israelischen Verteidigungsminister Ehud Barak vom 1. März 2008. 'Israel hat immer wie eine Antwort gewirkt. Eine Antwort zu einer wirklich guten Frage.' David Grossmann
