This dissertation examines the creation of a Jewish physical culture in Mandatory Palestine through the analysis and comparison of the following national festivals: the beauty competitions for Queen Esther in conjunction with the Purim carnivals in Tel Aviv from 1926--1929; the first Maccabiah Sports Competition in Tel Aviv in 1932; the National Dance Competition in Tel Aviv in 1937; and the Dahlia Dance Festivals at Kibbutz Dahlia in 1944 and 1947. It is the first sustained study which investigates efforts to create a new physique in the Jewish community in Mandatory Palestine.

520 $a This dissertation examines the creation of a Jewish physical culture in Mandatory Palestine through the analysis and comparison of the following national festivals: the beauty competitions for Queen Esther in conjunction with the Purim carnivals in Tel Aviv from 1926--1929; the first Maccabiah Sports Competition in Tel Aviv in 1932; the National Dance Competition in Tel Aviv in 1937; and the Dahlia Dance Festivals at Kibbutz Dahlia in 1944 and 1947. It is the first sustained study which investigates efforts to create a new physique in the Jewish community in Mandatory Palestine.
520 $a This work demonstrates that the emphasis on the construction of a "new Jew" in a new Jewish body lies at the foundation of the creation of Israeli culture. By examining the ways in which Jews interpreted and shaped their bodies in the emerging society, this analysis shows that national conflicts were reflected and revealed in the physical arena. An exploration of the new Jewish physique in this period uncovers the underlying conflicts and dilemmas that arose in the process of trying to build a new culture. These included the negotiation of national dilemmas such as "East" versus "West," the religious/secular divide, and the full range of conflicts within Zionist ideology. In demonstrating how the Jewish community in Mandatory Palestine negotiated and considered these dilemmas within a nation-building context, this investigation considerably expands the perception of Jewish culture in the modern period.
520 $a This dissertation uses a series of different lenses and approaches with which to examine the material: it both cuts across and draws together a number of different fields. It is based upon historical documentation of the Yishuv (the Jewish community in Mandatory Palestine), contemporary gender and cultural theory, and theory and methodology of dance research. It contributes to the cultural history of the Yishuv, modern Jewish cultural history, the implementation of Zionist theory, the formation of Israeli society, the history of the body, gender history, dance and sports history.
