 | | Schisms among the Jews: // First Temple era Based on the historical narrative in the Bible and archeology, Levantine civilization at the time of Solomons Temple was prone to idol worship, astrology, worship of reigning kings, and paganism. | | | The Bene Israel (Sons of Israel) are a group of Jews who, in the mid-twentieth century, lived primarily in Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and parts of Pakistan. | | | The Judeo-Arabic languages are a collection of Arabic dialects spoken by Jews living or formerly living in Arabic-speaking countries; the term also refers to more or less classical Arabic written in the Hebrew script, particularly in the Middle Ages. |

| | The American Muslim |
| | Morais brilliantly exemplified the Levantine Religious Humanism of the Sephardim whose rich legacy was subsequently occluded by the emergence of an Ashkenazi immigrant majority which brought many of its own internal schisms to the United States; schisms that have haunted Jews and the Jewish faith to this very day. | | | Many Arab Jews have surrendered their native Levantine perspective in favor of the ruling ideology in Israel; some Israeli Sephardim in frustration have divorced themselves from the mainstream of the traditional Jewish community; and still others have submerged their ethnic rage in a thunderous barbarity vis-à-vis the Arab Muslims. | | | The model of Levantine Jewish historical memory would serve to collapse the alienating cult of persecution harbored in classical Zionist thought and omnipresent in the rituals of the state of Israel, replacing it with a more positive view of the past that would lead us into a more optimistic present. |

| | j. - Liberal movement leaders frustrated by Netanyahu |
| | Orthodox leaders maintain that permitting non-Orthodox conversions, rather than denying them, is the source of the schisms between Israel and the diaspora, and between Orthodox and liberal Jews. | | | Several times as many people were converted by the Reform and Conservative movements in the diaspora, returning to Israel as Jews, say representatives of those movements. | | | Netanyahu first met with leaders of the Reform movement's UAHC, Central Conference of American Rabbis and Association of Reform Zionists of America, and the Conservative movement's Jewish Theological Seminary of America, Rabbinical Assembly and United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. |

| | The Public Eye : Website of Political Research Associates -Liberty Lobby (Now Defunct) |
| | Picking up this historic theme, Liberty Lobby's newspaper, The Spotlight, frequently rails against "dual-loyalists" in our government when their target is really Jews or supporters of Israel which Spotlight conflates into an antisemitic stew of conspiracism salted with Holocaust Revisionism, Aryanist yearnings, and racial nationalism. | | | Many participants in the Populist Party believed a conspiracy of rich and powerful Jews and their allies control banking, foreign policy, the CIA and the media in the United States. | | | A series of political and financial schisms ended the direct relationship between Liberty Lobby and the Populist Party, although both groups still shared many of the same fundamental antisemitic and White racist theories. |

| | The 2003 CESNUR Conference - Karaites and Karaism (Kizilov) |
| | [5] In the ninth-twelfth centuries (this period might be called the time of consolidation) Karaism developed as a separate religious movement within Judaism taking into itself other schisms. | | | After 1492, when the Jews who had been expelled from Spain were granted asylum in Turkey, there was a tendency for rapprochement between the Karaite and Rabbanite Jews. | | | Constantinople became a main spiritual centre of Karaism at the beginning of the twelfth century. |

| | Journal of Social History: Meletij Smotryc'kyj. - book reviews |
| | In the 1620s the Commonwealth was still bedeviled (from the anti-diabolical perspective of the Catholic Counter-Reformation) by a fascinating diversity of schisms and heresies, ranging from Orthodoxy, through all the variably radical degrees of Protestantism, and including the great majority of the world's Jews. | | | In 1627 Meletij Smotryc'kyj wrote a letter from Ukraine, in the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania, addressed to Pope Urban VIII in Rome in the flattering language of an accomplished ecclesiastical courtier. | | | It is possible to trace Smotryc'kyj's path across the lands of the Commonwealth, to Protestant Germany during the earlier years of his religious education, to Ottoman Constantinople, still the capital of Orthodoxy, in the later years of his religious dilemma. |

| | The Will to Live On: This is Our Heritage by Herman Wouk from HarperCollins Publishers |
| | Although the Torah and the Talmud are timeless, the twentieth century has brought earthquake shocks to the Jews: the apocalyptic experience of the Holocaust, the reborn Jewish state, the precarious American diaspora, and deepening religious schisms. | | | After a lifetime of study, Herman Wouk examines the changes affecting the Jewish world, especially the troubled wonder of Israel, and the remarkable, though dwindling, American Jewry. | | | About The Will to Live On Herman Wouk has ranged in his novels from the mighty narrative of The Caine Mutiny and the warm, intimate humor of Marjorie Morningstar to the global panorama of The Winds of War and War and Remembrance. |

| | History of Palestine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Jews were divided between the Hellenists who supported the adoption of Greek culture, and those who believed in keeping to the traditions of the past, which resulted in the Maccabean revolt of the 2nd century BCE. | | | The armies of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria then invaded, but did not succeed even in holding onto much of the areas reserved in the UN partition plan for the Arab state. | | | The Arab-Jewish fighting within Palestine escalated to full-scale war right after the UN partition plan was approved, and on May 14, 1948, the Jewish population declared independence as the state of Israel. |
