2016 Report to the Community Our Federation Identifies and Addresses Our Greatest Challenges and Opportunities The Jewish Federation 2016 Report to the Community Our Federation identifies and addresses our greatest challenges and opportunities. We built this Jewish community and have been at its center for over 100 years. As the Federation of today, we are the one Jewish organization in Los Angeles that is as focused on the future as much as the present. We have both the 35,000-foot view required to plan for tomorrow and the hands-on partnerships that make it possible for us to care for our community today. We do this in collaboration with our organizational partners and our most committed leaders and donors. As a result, our work is strategic, impactful, and inspiring. We focus on Los Angeles, and serve as a global Jewish leader, doing essential work in Israel and throughout the Jewish world. Ultimately, it’s not what we do but why we do it — which is to create the kind of enduring Jewish community we all want and need, based on shared goals and Jewish values. 2 MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY Dear Friends, On behalf of The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, our lay leaders, and professional staff, we thank you for your generous support in 2016. Because of you, we are able to identify and address our city’s greatest challenges and opportunities — caring for our community today, and strengthening our shared Jewish future. We work in collaboration with organizational partners and our most committed leaders and donors to create the most strategic, impactful, and inspiring work possible. This report offers a glimpse into the local and global mark on Jewish life we made together in 2016 — and continue to make. We are grateful for your long-standing support and partnership in our mission to touch every Jewish life in L.A., Israel, and the world — starting with yours. With sincere appreciation, Julie B.

  • The Wolf and the Folk Calendar
    Iulian Boldea (Editor) – Literature, Discourses and the Power of Multicultural Dialogue Arhipelag XXI Press, Tîrgu Mureș, 2017, eISBN: 978-606-8624-12-9 THE WOLF AND THE FOLK CALENDAR Delia Anamaria Răchișan Lecturer, PhD, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca - Baia Mare Northern University Center Abstract: The paper aims to highlight the days consacrated to the wolf encountered during the year and mentioned in the Folk Calendar. We start from the premise that in the past there were more than 30 days dedicated to the wolf, which attests the renewal of the calendaristic time, namely, the renewal of the Dacian New Year, aspect confirmed also by the ethnologist Ion Ghinoiu. The Dacian New Year ends with Saint Nicholas. An important role was played by Moș Andrei and Moș Nicolae. In the present, in the center of attention there are other santas: Moș Ajun and Moș Crăciun. In the days consacrated to the wolf, the ritual praxis was respected. We recall some interdictions strictly respected in the Romanian villages: the word ”wolf” was not pronounced (on the contrary, the wolves were coming to the man`s household); symbolically ”the wolf's mouth” was bind (emphasizing on the „apotropaic” [defense] function); in order to protect both the people and the domestic animals „marhăle”, the blunt objects of the household were used (for example, the saw, the scissors, the brush with teeth used for wool teaselling, etc.); it was was forbidden working with wool or animal skins– spunning, using of the loom [„teară”]; throwing out the ashes (it was believed that the shewolves that swallowed coals have become fertile and have bred, and the shewolves that did not eat coals have become barren).

  • Onomasiological and Semasiological Aspects
    56 Onomasiology Online 5 (2004): 56-139 MARION MATSCHI COLOR TERMS IN ENGLISH: ONOMASIOLOGICAL AND SEMASIOLOGICAL ASPECTS Abstract The following article is a master’s thesis on color terms in English language history. Within Berlin and Kay’s eleven basic color categories, and various non-basic, secondary, or specialized expressions are analyzed regard- ing their origin and underlying motives of formation: Inherited terms are described from an onomasiological point of view, thus starting from the respective concept or image, whereas loanwords are dealt with separately as their motivations are often unclear to the speaker. As the color systems of Old and Modern English are encoded differently, it is investigated how transitional stages and nuances of color are represented in the re- spective periods. Finally, interesting semasiological aspects are given as well. The study shows that, resulting from a huge need of new color names due to economical and cultural changes, many color terms were borrowed from French and Latin, but even more are a product of metonymical exten- sions of entity senses. By means of this, all kinds of images and concepts (e.g. plants, animals, food etc.) can be utilized to designate color. However, they are often restricted, remain unknown to the layperson, and can disappear very quickly (e.g. fashion and car color terms).
