The Revolution

Edward Lasker, German parliamentarian, was born on August 14, 1829, in Jaroczin, a small village in the province of Posen, the Polish area of Prussia. The offspring of an orthodox Jewish family, the young man studied the Talmud and translated Schiller into Hebrew verse. At first he showed a preference for philosophy and mathematics but turned later to history, political science, and law. Influenced by contemporary pre-Marxian socialism, he, together with his fellow students, fought on the barricades during the revolution of 1848. It became clear to him after passing his law examinations that he could not expect an adequate appointment in the civil service of reactionary Prussia.

The Brain

Imagine the consternation; you are a member of an orthodox Jewish family and you and another family member are diagnosed with larvae of a pork tapeworm in your brain. You have recurrent seizures as a result. Ridiculous? Not for members of a Jewish community in New York where a Mexican domestic worker harbouring a Taenia solium tapeworm had apparently contaminated the family's food with eggs from her tapeworm1.

Multi-culturalism is a common reality, and is expected to become even more significant in the future. One of its challenges is the need for professionals, especially social workers, to accommodate their practice to clients of various cultures. Their role demands cultural sensitivity, acceptance, a non-judgmental containing attitude and professional skills. This article will show how phenomenology can shed new light on the concept of cultural sensitivity and its implications on future interventions. We demonstrate this approach by looking at social workers’ various encounters with social problems in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel. Several phenomenological categories will be discussed: The life-world; intentionality; the self with others; language; stock of knowledge at hand. Through the phenomenological lens, we will expose the inherent duality in the work of social workers in a multi-cultural society: awareness to cultural codes and professional ethics.

The implementation of a marketing strategy without cultural sensitivity in mind can result in unintentionally offending or alienating the new target market, which can lead to a drop in sales – or worse. The purpose of this paper is first to explore how promotional advertisement with cultural sensitivity can cause a misfit in marketing strategy for the fashion industry’s specific market. Causing the promotion turned provocative. It could be more advantages for a marketer to be able to fully utilize intrinsic and extrinsic strengths while avoiding the market predecessor threat, simultaneously utilize available opportunities and liberalize weaknesses despite putting too much effort to eradicate. Secondly, a specific execution technique used in analyzing the case by adopting the 7 Ps marketing mixed into an inductive single-case study on Naelofar Hijab’s provocative promotion. The finding shows the core strategy in the promotion fashion industry is promoting via social media consist of popularity engagement, Outfit-Of-The-Day (OOTD) approach, and utilization of personnel status as media social active user established strong consumer foundations. While the execution of runway show faced five challenges, but the successful event may uplift brand identity. As far as the adoption of a single-case study is concerned, this could create biases that can affect the final product in terms of reliability, validity and generalizing. However, Erikson (1986) stated, the general lies in the particular, and Flyvberg (2006) stated the strength of a single example is underestimated in its contribution to scientific progress. In a specific and growing sub-industry, this single case study is reasonable to believe that it could be considered as a representative case of companies of the time and its findings sufficiently in general. Significantly, the finding could guide marketers towards understanding the market sensitivity, and if there is a need to modify the marketing strategy from offending the new target market.

This article examines reactions in the Jewish Diaspora to the ways the Diaspora is viewed in Israel, especially with regard to the Israeli self-perception of Israel as the ultimate spiritual and religious center for its Diaspora. These ideas are explored using as a case study the 1958 ‘Who is a Jew?’ controversy and David Ben-Gurion’s famous correspondence with 51 ‘Jewish sages’ on the question of how to classify on an Israeli identity card a child born in Israel to a non-Jewish mother. Focusing on the responses of the Orthodox Jewish sages, I suggest that this correspondence may be understood as a reflection of different, sometimes conflicting understandings of the nature and meaning of Israel’s centrality for Jews and Judaism.
