  • Mahnmal Für Die Toten Des Krieges
    Benno Elkan – Mahnmal für die Toten des Krieges Erinnerungskultur mit modernster Technik Am Freitag, den 31.08.2018, wurde das Modernste Denkmal Deutschlands der Öffentlichkeit im Orches- terzentrum NRW vorgestellt. Die 3D-Rekonstruktion des Denkmals „Mahnmal für die Toten des Krieges“ von Benno Elkan kann virtuell im realen Raum betrachtet werden. Damit wird die Kunst auf ein neues, innovatives Level befördert. Der Vorstand des Historischen Vereins, Oberbürgermeister Ullrich Sierau, die Enkelin des Künstlers aus San Francisco, Beryn Hammil, sowie Vertreter des Sponsors und der Geschäftsführer des Dortmunder Virtual-Reality-Unternehmens viality haben vor zahlreichen Gästen aus Politik, Verwaltung, Wissenschaft und Kultur die 3D-Konstruktion in Dortmund präsentiert. Das Mahnmal konnte live auf der Bühne mit einer Augmented-Reality-Brille von allen Seiten angeschaut werden, während die jeweilige Perspektive für alle anderen Gäste auf einer Projektionsfläche zu sehen war. Zusätzlich konnte das Event per Li- vestream auf YouTube und Facebook verfolgt werden. Diese Videos stehen weiterhin frei zur Verfügung und können bei Bedarf unter folgenden Links angesehen werden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kW-mqSikDY https://www.facebook.com/dortmund/videos/2094925910520165/ Das virtuelle Mahnmal Benno Elkans kann ab sofort im Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte, mit für Besucher bereitgestellten Smartphones, angeschaut werden. Die Besucher können allerdings auch ihr eigenes Smartphone nutzen, wenn die App „Benno Elkan AR“ installiert ist. Die Benno-Elkan-Alle am Dortmunder U, welche dem verstorbenen Dortmunder Künstler im Frühjahr 2016 gewidmet wurde, wird in fünf bis sechs Wochen eine bedeutende Rolle spielen. Dort wird das Mahn- mal für Jeden virtuell sichtbar werden. Auch wenn die Menschen vor Ort augenscheinlich um Nichts herumlaufen werden, können sie mit Hilfe einer App auf ihrem Smartphone oder Tablet das virtuelle Mahnmal in seiner vollen Größe sehen und genauer betrachten.

  • Benno Elkan 1 Benno Elkan
    Benno Elkan 1 Benno Elkan Benno Elkan OBE (* 2. Dezember 1877 in Dortmund; † 10. Januar 1960 in London) war ein deutscher Bildhauer, der die Große Menora vor der Knesset in Jerusalem und zahlreiche Denkmale, Büsten und Medaillen in Deutschland und England geschaffen hat. Elkan begann sein Schaffen als Bildhauer in seiner Heimatstadt Dortmund mit Grabdenkmalen. Später porträtierte er Militärs, Staatsmänner, Wissenschaftler und Künstler, vor allem aus Deutschland, Frankreich und England in Büsten und Medaillen. Elkan erhielt als jüdischer Künstler 1935 Berufsverbot und emigrierte nach London. In Deutschland war er zunächst vergessen, bis seine Werke in den 1950er-Jahren erneut in Ausstellungen gezeigt wurden. Elkans Schaffen ist keiner festen Stilrichtung zuzuordnen. Leben Kindheit und Jugend in Dortmund Benno Elkan in seinem Atelier in London Elkan war das einzige Kind des Schneidermeisters Salomon Elkan, während der Arbeit an der Menora für die Mitinhaber eines Herrentextilgeschäftes in der Dortmunder Knesset Innenstadt[1] und seiner jungen Frau Rosalie (* 1861 in Heidelberg). Hier besuchte er auch das Städtische Gymnasium (damals „Schola Tremoniae“) bis zum „Einjährigen“.[2] Dortmund war zur Jugendzeit Elkans eine Stadt, in der sich die kleine jüdische Gemeinde (1.306 von 90.000 Einwohnern im Jahre 1890[3] ) erfolgreich etablieren konnte, wofür der Bau einer großen Synagoge und die Integration eines jüdischen Bereichs auf dem Ostenfriedhof Indizien waren. Soweit bekannt nahm Benno Elkan am Leben der jüdischen Gemeinde teil, feierte seine Bar Mitzwa und besuchte am Gymnasium den jüdischen Religionsunterricht. Wanderjahre Um seine Sprachkenntnisse zu verbessern, besuchte Elkan das seit 1880 bestehende private Knabenpensionat Château du Rosey in Rolle am Genfersee. In Antwerpen übte er kurz eine kaufmännische Tätigkeit aus, brach sie aber mit Einverständnis seiner Eltern ab, um sich zunächst ab Dezember 1897 in München auf der privaten Kunstschule des Malers Walter Thor auf die Aufnahmeprüfung der Kunstakademie vorzubereiten.

  • Fantastyiccprogram-Calendar-2018
    a message from the factory ceO This year we have chosen as the theme for our Program Calendar, The FantastYICC Chocolate Factory . One might think that this is a colorful and charming theme; but in truth it is much more. It reflects the Jewish approach to teaching Torah. Every morning we begin the Shacharit service with blessings called Birkhot HaTorah. Among the blessings we declare l,ru , hrcs ,t ubhvkt ‘v tb crgvu – “ Please, Lord our God, make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouths. ” The 18th century rabbinic thinker and prolific author, Yaakov Emden, noted that this is a pragmatic request. We pray that Torah will be sweet for everyone to enjoy, making it universally desirable among all Jews. A number of years ago, on a visit to our Shul, the President of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation, Jay Sanderson, remarked how impressed he was that children come over to me on Shabbat to receive lollipops. He exclaimed that encouraging children to come to their rabbi for something sweet will guarantee the future of our people. He further ruminated, “We also need lollipops for the adults so that they too will be excited by their Judaism.” It is our hope that in this Program Calendar, filled with exciting and stimulating programs, many of which are appearing for the first time, you will find the sweetness of Torah that will stimulate your thought and expand your Jewish education. It is our intent that our outstanding array of speakers, as well as all our diverse programs, will challenge your mind and engage your heart.

  • The Life and Work of Abbot Anscar Vonier
    English Benedictine Congregation History Commission – Symposium 1996 THE LIFE AND WORK OF ABBOT ANSCAR VONIER Dom Leo Smith OR MANY YEARS NOW South Devon has become a centre of tourism attracting large numbers of holiday makers from all over the British Isles, from Europe, especially FHolland and Germany, and increasingly from the United States and Canada. Buckfast lies on the edge of the Torbay area and is on the fringe of Dartmoor, so that even without the saga of the rebuilding of the abbey at Buckfast, the district would have been an attraction, a sort of gateway to the English Riviera and a pass to the lair of the Hound of the Baskervilles. Every year now Buckfast abbey receives some half a million visitors and this is due to the interest aroused by the reconstruction in modem times of a medieval monastery by the labours of four monks who were the masons. This achievement was the life-work of one man who inspired the work and by the force of his personality saw its achievement in spite of enormous difficulties. He was Abbot Anscar Vonier, the subject of this paper. In the south aisle of the abbey church there is a memorial plaque to Abbot Anscar, the work of Benno Elkan1. There the Abbot, a figure of no small stature, is depicted as offering his life’s work to our Lady to whom the abbey is dedicated. There is an epic quality about the story developed in the scroll of the plaque. The young monk saved from a shipwreck in which his abbot perished; his own election as abbot; the decision to rebuild the abbey church; the first load of stone from the quarry delivered in a borrowed horse and cart; the labour of building with no modem equipment, and the final touch, his acclaim of the finished work with the skeleton of death calling him to his reward.
