 Nehardeah- Lech Lecha
The heroes of the story are again not Abraham and Isaac, but rather the apparently insignificant figure of the ram, to which there is very little reference in the Torah.
God says to Abraham, "take your son, your only one", and Jephta's daughter is mentioned as being the "only" on her father had.
The most obvious: Abraham sets out on his journey based on a command given by God, who merely wishes to test him, while Jephta makes a vow, of his own volition, to sacrifice a human being, a vow that is absolutely not required, and should be severely disparaged.

Abraham does so obediently, building an altar where God instructed him to, laying down the wood and placing his son, Isaac, on the wood on the altar.
This is the akedah, "the binding of Isaac," in which Abraham is ordered to sacrifice his only son to his only God, a story of circumstances in which both Abraham and Isaac - each one for different reasons - are victims.
According to him, Abraham's conflict is one of a soldier faced with an order he cannot obey, but not being a conscientious objector, he acts upon it nevertheless.

Abraham in turn formally recognizes the rights of host people {Canaanites} to their various territories.
In these pericopes Abraham is not seen as an invader but rather as immigrant.
As a good immigrant Abraham is to teach justice to his household and establish peaceful relations with the peoples of the land.

Following Bialik’s death, Abraham Shlonsky (1900-1973) and Nathan Alterman (1910-1970) were the leading figures in Israeli poetry.
Shlonsky introduced modernist themes and techniques and became the leader of a new school of Israeli poetry, in self-conscious revolt against the previous generation.
Unlike Shlonsky and Alterman, who were associated with Labor Zionism, Greenberg was an extreme nationalist.

In recent years the Israeli novelists Amos Oz, Abraham B. Yehoshua, and Aharon Appelfeld, and the poet Yehuda Amichai have been widely translated and have achieved international distinction.
Outside Israel, the writing of the Jews is ordinarily in the language of the countries in which they live or in Yiddish, whose literary use developed rapidly after the middle of the 19th cent.

Abraham Shlonsky (1900-1973) was born in the Ukraine, studied for a while in Palestine, returned to Russia, and settled in Palestine in 1921, writing poetry and building roads.
534) written in 1928 Shlonsky describes the modern land of Israel in religious terms: the land is wrapped in light as if it were a prayer shawl and the houses are like the boxes on the tefilin and the roads he paves are like the tefilin straps.
Shlonsky provides an ideal example of the transition from the pioneer period to the modern period.

Abraham Shlonsky, Natan Alterman, Lea Goldberg, and Uri Zvi Greenberg headed the next generation of poets, who wrote in the years which preceded the establishment of the state and during the first years of statehood.
Shlonsky utilized a flood of images along with linguistic inventions in his poetry to praise the pioneers who paved roads, drained swamps, built houses and established new settlements, as well as in his translations of classical poetry, especially from Russian.
Alterman's works, many of which are noted for their political commentary, accompanied every stage of the development of the Jewish community and are characterized by richness of language and a variety of poetic forms, tone and rhyme, imagery and metaphor.

Abraham is the English form of a Hebrew name.
Abraham is another example of an Old Testament name used in Europe only by Jewish families until the Reformation.
Abraham was popular in the United States (originally due to Puritan influence, and then due to martyred 16th president Abraham Lincoln) until the turn of the century, when it declined considerably.

One of these, "Canaanites" (coined by poet Avraham Shlonsky), was so successful that it was even adopted by proponents of the movement who hitherto had referred to themselves as "The Young Hebrews" (Ha'ivrim Ha'tze'irim).
Controversial as the whole thing was, Ratosh was the one who became clearly identified with the Canaanite view and, for better or for worse, the man considered the movement's spiritual father.
He argued further that the father of this nation was not Abraham, but Ever (who appears in the Bible a few generations prior to Abraham), who was also the father of all the Hebrew tribes.

Poets such as Samuel HaNagid, Judah Halevi, and Immanuel of Rome wrote secular verse in addition to their many religious and liturgical poems.
Prose fiction was much less common, though Abraham ben Samuel ha-Levi ibn Hasdai's Ben ha-Melek ve-ha-Nazir-- a work based on an Arabic version of a classic Indian story about the life of Buddha--is one interesting example.
The poets of this time, such as Avraham Shlonsky, Yitzhak Lamdan, and U.Z. Greenberg, wrote about the Jewish pioneers and their relationship to the land of Israel.

 AMON-NIAP - A 1948 LOOK AT ISRAEL OF 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The establishment of the State of Israel was based and legitimized on UN recognition and endorsement - as was the case with all new countries established in the 20th Century after the collapse of the big empires.
Indeed, Sharon and some of his Cabinet ministers (all except Peres ex army generals) are of the generation of 1948; however the war they wage against the Palestinians in order to establish the way of life that the Fathers of Zionism strove to eliminate bears no resemblance to the war of 1948.
The Canaanites (they were so called mockingly by the poet Abraham Shlonsky, but adopted the name enthusiastically) were perhaps too extreme in their complete denial of the Diaspora.

 On the relations between Hebrew and Russian poetry
Every now and then I recall a memory from distant childhood, my father singing to himself Lermontov’s well-known song, “I set out alone on my way.” The country I grew up in during the 1920s, 30s and 40s, was saturated in Russian.
In 1942 the book Russian Poetry was published, an anthology of new work [translated into Hebrew and] edited by [the Hebrew poets] Abraham Shlonsky and Lea Goldberg.

It seems fair to say that Habiby's literary endeavors were rather low on his agenda at this point in his career, and he had not yet come to regard himself as a "novelist." Other Arab writers, such as Michel Haddad, who was supposedly closely identified with the "Establishment," were also not invited.
But, the article continues, when Tammuz requested the participants to express their views on the three poems they had just heard, "the response was total silence.
Shlonsky's restraint, however, was not characteristic of the atmosphere during the rest of the meeting.

His very first collection Broshim Levanim (White cypresses, 1954) spearheaded these young poets who favoured the application of a new, more spontaneous Hebrew.
His sensual, brightly coloured style is reminiscent of the work of Abraham Shlonsky, one of the great Hebrew poets of the first half of this century.
The flush of a new lifestyle, the recently acquired independence, the intoxication of the Israel landscapes with its bright colours, smells and sensual titillations all came together in Moshe Dor's poems and gave his nation's poetry a new incentive.

Poets such as Y. Gordon, Chaim Nachman Bialik, Abraham Shlonsky, and Nathan Alterman, were the leading figures in modem Hebrew literature from the turn of the nineteenth century until the late fifties of this century, when the dominance of poetry gave way to prose.
As narrative fiction has come to the fore in Israeli literature, and volumes of poetry are more difficult to publish (major poets must now finance the publication of their books), the role of literary periodicals has become crucial.
