 The Tragedy of Zionism: How Its Revolutionary Past Haunts Israeli Democracy — Book Reviews
Avishai’s argument attempts to change the terms of debate, to move beyond the pro-Zionist versus anti-Zionist arguments and create a new ‘post-Zionism’ position for Jews.
“Avishai’s paraphrasing of the ideas of [Zionism’s founding fathers] and his recounting of their often acrimonious disputes restore the richness and diversity of the Zionist movement as it developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
Avishai’s thumbnail sketches of the pioneer thinkers [Herzl, Achad, Ha’am, Syrkin] are crisp, lucid, and sympathetic.

Avishai started by using her three children and their friends as her models.
Her interest in pencil portraits extends to more than books: recently, for example, it led to a collection of fl and white drawings of Newton neighbors—including the mayor and local musicians, firefighters, teachers and shopkeepers—that was shown at the Newton Free Library.
Children enjoy Avishai's explanation of the printing process (someone always asks if she draws each picture in every copy of a book) and they are usually surprised to hear she's never met most of the authors whose books she illustrates.

 Avishai Margalit, professor of philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem: "There is no doubt that Israel is ...
The Forum's "141 Questions" (77): "Are ethics a basic part of national identity?" According to Avishai Margalit, philosophy professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel), the answer to this question is, without a doubt, yes.
Avishai Margalit, philosophy professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel), today pointed out on the Haima Stage that "it is an ethical obligation to remember the past so that we can build nations, but it is obvious that looking at the future is more important that the past".
This dialogue raises the question that the development of a society does not depend solely on economic, social and political viability but that there must be a certain ethical wealth, a series of fundamental values cultivated by citizens.

Avishai plays piano, rather than bass, when leading his IVP, which sports a three man horn section consisting of trumpeter Diego Urcola of Argentina, trombonist/flutist Avi Lebovich of Israel, and saxophonist Yosvany Terry from Cuba.
I also spotted the beautiful Rosario Dawson (before Avishai told us what her name was), of Men in Black II and Josie and the Pussycats, who, evidently, has extremely good taste in music.

Avishai Raviv was connected with the General Security Service as an operative from December 1987.
As the subject (Avishai Raviv -"Globes") is a dependent type, I told him that after examining his file and in light of my acquaintance with him, it is doubtful if we can continue the relationship with him, while he engages in behavior for which we cannot take responsibility.

 Jazz Bulletin Board - Avishai Cohen's At Home   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Avishai Cohen quickly took to my ears with Chick Corea's Origin group and then his two releases under his own name on Stretch Records.
But maybe because I am just not into the styling (or they are as flat as I think they are) his next two releases were really bland and meandering recordings.
While certainly not an album of the year or a career, At Home should garner a lot more attention then what it is getting and it is certainly better than a lot of other albums that do get advertising and a strong puch (then again we all know these problems).

 Guardian | Avishai Cohen, At Home
In 2000, the Israeli double-bassist and composer Avishai Cohen, a regular Chick Corea accompanist, released the kind of composer's album rarely expected from sidemen, particularly bassists.
Cohen is at Ronnie Scott's until Saturday with this fluently lyrical material, but an expanded band on the disc gets the best out of the leader's delectable folk-themes and slow-build harmonic developments.
Avishai Cohen is back where he should be.

The tracks are extremely versatile with Avishai handling both acoustic and electric basses as well as various keyed instruments including Fender Rhodes piano.
Avishai's new album is an impressive achievement and is similar to his previous albums in that it is loaded with worldly rhythms and hummable melodies.
The album also showcases Cohen's prowess on the electric bass more prominently, particularly on "Handsonit" a number which features a fleet fingered melody with electric bass and horns giving way to a soulful bridge and a great trumpet tradeoff.

 THE AVISHAI RAVIV CASE Crime d'etat By Uri Dan

Abramowitz deserves the Sokolov prize for journalism for his impressive scoop, for without him certain interested parties in the GSS and beyond, who wish first and foremost to protect themselves, would have buried the devious actions of the agent provocateur for many years.
