We sent out the picture on the Institute\u2019s WhatsApp group and tried to piece together as much information about it as we could from our staff, especially the exact year it was taken, based on the fashion and hairdos and smoking in a closed building.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"direction: ltr;\">\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"direction: ltr;\">Europe in the Middle East<\/h2>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Finally the riddle was solved: The picture documents a meeting of the leaders and members of the research project \u201cEurope in the Middle East: Key Political Concepts in a Cultural Dialogue,\u201d held at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute in the years 1995\u20131998. The project was initiated and led by Prof. Rivka Feldhay (in the photo, second from left) and Dr. Azmi Bishara, with the inspiration of Prof. Yehuda Elkana (the first head of the Institute). When Bishara was elected to the Knesset, Prof. Feldhay was joined by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanleer.org.il\/en\/members\/prof-jose-brunner\/\">Prof. Jos\u00e9 Brunner<\/a> (in the photo, first from left) and together the two continued to lead the inquiry into questions of identity, nationality, otherness, culture, religion, state, secularization, colonization and decolonization. These issues were always discussed from a comparative and critical perspective and in an Israeli and Middle Eastern context rather than a Western European one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The project arose from the winning of a European-Israeli tender and was conducted in collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin. It included European and Israeli researchers, including Arab citizens of Israel and Palestinians from the universities of Bir Zeit, An-Najah, Bethlehem and more.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vanleer.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/%D7%94%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%91%D7%99-%D7%94%D7%A2%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9F-1024x714.jpg\" alt=\"Upper lobby of the Van Leer building, 1967 Photo: David Rubinger, Yedioth Ahronoth\" width=\"1024\" height=\"714\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Upper lobby of the Van Leer building, 1967 Photo: David Rubinger, Yedioth Ahronoth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"direction: ltr;\">The power of a research project<\/h2>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The first version of the project ended on the eve of the Second Intifada, a political event whose negative ramifications had a crucial impact on the research results. But the project did not die. Instead, it assumed a new form when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanleer.org.il\/en\/members\/dr-raef-zreik\/\">Dr. Raef Zreik<\/a>, Prof. Adi Ophir and Prof. Rivka Feldhay won a tender to establish the <a href=\"https:\/\/en-humanities.tau.ac.il\/minerva\">Minerva Humanities Center<\/a> at Tel Aviv University. The three directors set up three research groups about <a href=\"https:\/\/en-humanities.tau.ac.il\/minerva\/research_group\/living_together\">living together<\/a>; a <a href=\"https:\/\/en-humanities.tau.ac.il\/minerva\/research_group\/lexicone\">lexicon of political terms<\/a>, established as a journal with that name; and questions of <a href=\"https:\/\/en-humanities.tau.ac.il\/minerva\/research_group\/migration_knowledge\">migration knowledge<\/a>. Here, too, there was marked cooperation between Israeli researchers \u2013 Jews and Arabs \u2013 and European and American researchers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Funding from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.minerva.mpg.de\/\">German Minerva Stiftung<\/a> was originally provided for five years but was extended for another 13 years until the end of 2022. The project has made a noticeable mark and its intellectual heritage is taking on new and current meanings as part of the Tel Aviv University Faculty of Humanities. Furthermore, the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin has also adopted the idea and has started a program focusing on Europe in the Middle East. This program operates alongside the other Institute groups, which include world-class researchers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The project has given rise to a community of researchers, intellectuals with deep social and political awareness.
