This chapter analyses the existential crisis that illuminates contemporary Israeli poetry about the binding of Isaac or the akedah. It investigates a series of poems that portray Isaac's mother Sarah and argues that these texts strive to embody and construct the history of the State of Israel. It also reviews earlier poems that entwine Sarah with collective questions of post-Holocaust faith and Jewish national fate, recent texts that turn to individual destiny. The chapter cites Sarah as a mother-figure in the Jewish poetic imagination who struggles with the tensions between an instinctual maternal impulse to preserve life and an ideology rooted in the sacrifice of sons for the sake of the creation and preservation of the State of Israel. It looks at poems that reconstruct the biblical story of Sarah, giving mothers the voice that Sarah lacked at the moment of the akedah.

Between November 1947 (The UN Partition Plan for Palestine) and May 1948 (the creation of the State of Israel), many Jewish and Arab communities who cared for their country intensified the negotiations between themselves and initiated urgent encounters, some short and spontaneous, others planned meticulously to the last detail, during which the participants raised demands, sought compromises, set rules, formulated agreements, made promises, sought forgiveness, and made efforts to compensate and reconcile. In 2012, Ariella Azoulay directed a film based on archival documents depicting these events. Her essay reflects upon the importance of this chapter for a potential history of Palestine.

An important aspect of Ukraine-Israel relations – the history of the creation of a free trade zone between the two states is revealed in the article. Based on materials from current archives and open source data, the dynamic work process of preparation for signing the corresponding interstate agreement, its ratification by the parliaments of the countries is shown. It was found that it is a voluminous and labor-intensive process that requires consideration of the interests of the national economies of the two states; the creation of a free trade area has been the subject of many bilateral negotiations. Even the ratification of the agreement by the parliaments of the states for some objective reasons did not become a quick process. The national interests of the parties are taken into account in the relevant interstate document. Economic connections have always been an important and promising component of Ukrainian-Israeli relations. However, the parties have repeatedly pointed to the unsatisfactory level of economic relations. The interstate agreement on the establishment of a free trade zone between Ukraine and the State of Israel has its pros and cons, but in general we can talk about a significant improvement in many indicators that it can potentially bring. Although the process of creating a free trade area is incomplete, its study all the same is important in view of the importance of creating such a zone for both foreign economic relations of Ukraine and Israel and for development of friendly bilateral relations between them in general. While the agreement is not implemented, we have to be satisfied with the positive dynamics of economic relations, which is reflected in statistical indicators. They testify that the State of Israel is a very important trade partner of Ukraine in the Middle East. The Free trade area should bring beneficial results to Ukraine and Israel.

This publication is devoted to one of the episodes of I. A. Ilyin’s activity in the period “between two revolutions”.

The published archive text indicates that the development of Ilyin’s doctrine “on legal consciousness” falls precisely at this tragic moment in the history of Russia.
