37:1 – <\/span>Vayeshev<\/span><\/em> Now Jacob was settled in the land where his father had sojourned, <\/span>megurei aviv<\/span><\/em>, <\/span><\/i>\u00a0the land of Canaan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our chapter (and weekly <\/span>parashah<\/span><\/em>) open with this verse that contrasts Jacob\u2019s settling down, with Isaac\u2019s less than completely settled existence in Canaan, his sojourning. <\/span><\/p>\n

The root <\/span>y-sh-v<\/span><\/em> has meanings including sitting and settling. For instance <\/span>yashav<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/em>means “sat” in the most general sense. The noun form is <\/span>yeshiva<\/span><\/em>, “sitting,” and can also refer to a place where Jews sit on their <\/span>yashvanim<\/span><\/em>,<\/span><\/i> “tuckuses,” and learn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another form is <\/span>yishev<\/span><\/em>, to “settle a particular area,” which gives us <\/span>yishuv<\/span><\/em>, “settlement.” In the modern history of the Land of Israel, the “old Yishuv” was the small, largely-religious Jewish presence prior to Zionist immigration. The “new Yishuv” was created by pioneers who settled the land from the 1880s onwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Members of the new Yishuv initially formed <\/span>moshavot<\/span><\/em>,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0“villages” or “colonies.” Later waves of pioneers built a more cooperative type of community, the <\/span>moshav ‘ovdim<\/span><\/em> or “workers’ cooperative.” It is called <\/span>moshav<\/span><\/em> for short, although this word is very general and can refer to the seat in your car or a session at a conference. And a <\/span>toshav<\/span> <\/em>is simply a resident of any type of locale.<\/span><\/p>\n

A third form is <\/span>hityashev<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/em>which means something more like “settling down” or the “settlement process” in general. Its abstract or collective noun form, <\/span>hityashvut<\/em> <\/span>encompasses the rural labor settlements \u2013 moshavim as well as kibbutzim \u2013 around the country<\/span><\/p>\n

(But these are not “the settlements” that are argued about in the press. For that we have a different root <\/span>n<\/span>–<\/span>ch<\/span>–<\/span>l<\/span><\/em> \u05e0-\u05d7-\u05dc, meaning to “possess” or to “bequeath” or “inherit.” Someone’s <\/span>nachala<\/span><\/em> is their “portion” or “lot.” Those settlements \u2013 the ones across the Green Line \u2013 are called <\/span>hitnachluyot<\/em> <\/span>and those who live there are called <\/span>mitnachlim<\/span><\/em>. These were originally general terms but later came to refer almost exclusively to settlements built after 1967 and the people who build them).<\/span><\/p>\n

Within a few chapters, Jacob will uproot from his settled existence to go down to Egypt. There his descendants will become <\/span>gerim<\/span><\/em>, and \u201csojourn\u201d there for a short while – only about 400 years. After that, and another generation or so of wandering, the people return for <\/span>yishuv ha\u2019aretz<\/span><\/em>, settling the land.<\/span><\/p>\n
