mission history awards speakers ... - Uzbekistan Bukharan Jews, who trace their ancestry back to Jews exiled to Persia in the 5 th century (BCE), have lived in Uzbekistan for more than 2,000 years. During the centuries when Uzbekistan was a major trading route along the Silk Road from China to western Europe, the Bukharan Jewish community thrived. By the later half of the 12 th century (CE), it is believed that 50,000 Jews lived in Uzbekistan. With the Mongol invasion in the 13 th century came large-scale massacres of the entire populace – both non-Jews and Jews. During the next five centuries, Jews lived under Moslem rule. Though Jews were not violently persecuted, they did have to abide by many severe restrictions that dictated where they could live and established dress codes and excessive taxation. Still, Uzbeki Jews prospered, and many were considered distinguished musicians and dancers. Over time, however, Uzbeki Jews became increasingly secular. By the end of the 18 th century, many had lost all connection to their Jewish traditions. Visiting rabbis, most notably Rabbi Joseph Maman al-Maghrebi, revived Judaic traditions, re-established Uzbeki Jews links to world Jewry, and instilled a sense of Zionism. By 1830s, Bukharan Jews had settled in the Old City of Jerusalem. By 1914, 1,500 lived in Jerusalem.

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Terror no stranger to Afghanistan's neighbor Uzbekistan Alessio Vinci TASHKENT, Uzbekistan (CNN) – Hoping to bolster an international coalition against terrorism, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld this week will visit a number of nations in the Middle East and Central Asia. The predominantly Islamic states include a strategic neighbor to the north of Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, from where CNN correspondent Alessio Vinci filed the following report on Wednesday. VINCI: Uzbekistan, Central Asia's most populous nation  has been fighting its own war against what it calls terrorism for a decade. A turning point in that struggle came in February 1999 when a series of car bombs rocked the capital, Tashkent, killing 16 people, injuring many more. The president, Islam Karimov, said the attacks were an assassination attempt against him and blamed Islamic fundamentalists. President Karimov says he is ready to help the U.S. fight against terrorism, but, he says, he will not take the battle to the Taliban in Afghanistan for fear of reprisals. His own war against terrorism began years ago and it is still ongoing.

Biointensive Agriculture Volunteers Promote Environmentally Friendly Methods in Russia and Uzbekistan Carol Vesecky operates her own translation business, Language Specialists, in Palo Alto, California. For more than 20 years she has grown food for her family using Biointensive mini-farming methods. In 1993, after coordinating translation, typesetting, and publication in Moscow of the Russian translation of How to Grow More Vegetables by John Jeavons, she formed the organization Biointensive for Russia to share the Biointensive method with the people of the Soviet Union. Americans can present a copy of the Russian book to their friends by contacting Vesecky and sending her a check and the Russian address. Albie Miles is a self-employed horticulture instructor and curriculum development specialist from Santa Cruz, California. Darina Drapkin is a bilingual Russian immigrant from the San Francisco Penninsula who previously co-managed a Biointensive seed production business. She now teaches English at a Waldorf school in St. Petersburg, Russia. Biointensive agricultural methods include double-dug, wide beds, composting, companion planting, and properly applied organic fertilizers. Yield potential is extremely high and small plots of land can produce more food than when traditional methods are used.

Major Ethnic Groups in Central Asia The Andronovo Culture shows evidence of a very early history (late Bronze Age) of the Indo-Iranian speaking peoples in Central Asia. Turkic people came to these areas much later, during the middle age. Ethnically, Central Asia occupies a kind of bridge between the Turkic and Persian worlds. While various ethnic groups historically occupied different economic niches, they were all nativeto the land. Bi-lingualism was seen as normal for many centuries, not only among the intellectual elite but the common people as well. Command of three or four languages was not exceptional. Society and culture were formed on a multi-lingual basis. This process was facilitated by the fact that no nation-states, as understood in Western terms, took shape in Central Asia for many centuries. Local khanates and emirates were not formed from any one ethnic community. No ethnic criteria were applied in forming a ruling elite. For a variety of reasons the designers of the Soviet "national delimitation" in Central Asia discriminated against the Tajiks, having deprived the newly formed republic of Tajikistan of the two most important centers of Tajik urban culture, Bukhara and Samarkand , as well as regions of Fergana, Surhandarya and Khwrazm which were awarded to Uzbekistan. The majority of population in Uzbekistan are Tajiks. In the words of William Beeman, professor of anthropology at Brown University: "The Tajik situation in some ways resembles that of post-colonial Africa. Tajiks have been given an impossible piece of territory with disparate population and have been forced to make a nation out of it."

The United States has been massing forces in southwest Asia for a possible strike against Afghanistan if the Taliban refuse to comply. UPDATE: The Bush administration also rejected an offer by the ruling Taliban to release Western aid workers on trial in Afghanistan if the United States ended its "propaganda" about military action. "Full warning has been given and time is running out," Bush said. ( Full story U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld returned to Washington early Saturday after a three-day swing to garner international support for the U.S.-led war on terrorism, capped by an unplanned stop in Turkey.
