Abstract
In this issue, we introduce CJS and its programmes. The newsletter also contains
short articles and essays in English and Arabic written by academics, researchers,
students, and others interested in the city and society of Jerusalem. We do not
focus on a specific theme but have rather left it up to individual contributors to
decide upon topics of interest to them under the general rubric of Jerusalem.
We would like to thank the President of the University, Prof. Dr. Imad Abu Kishek,
for his support and introductory words presenting the various institutions of Al-
Quds University in Jerusalem. We would also like to thank Dr. Safa Nassereldin,
Vice President for Jerusalem Affairs for her constant support, as well as the staff of
CJS for their assistance in making this issue possible. Finally, we would like to take
this opportunity to thank all of those who have contributed to this first issue of
Ya Quds!.
Despite the tense situation reigning today in the Old City of Jerusalem, we at CJS
are committed to maintaining our presence there as an academic and cultural institution
in Suq Al-Qattanin (the Cotton Market) in the Old City of Jerusalem, on the
hope that Ya Quds! will become a forum for the many voices of the city.
We hereby send out a call for articles for the second issue of Ya Quds!. Articles
may be in Arabic or English, should not exceed 1200 words, and should be dedicated
to a topic on Jerusalem. The deadline for submission is May 20, 2016. We
look forward to your contributions.
