H. Brenner Israel Hameiri The first part of this article presents J. H. Brenner's play Beyond the Boundaries (london, 1907) as an important dramatic experiment. Although quite neglected by Israeli theatre and literary criticism, the play creates a unique style which can be defined as realistic-symbolic, a terminology used in the play by the protagonist writer Yohanan. later, the article deals with some ethical and poetical ideas of Emmanuel levinas as a basis for establishing the definition of a dramatic character, or type of character, which I call "The Mythic Other". In order to clarify the rhetorical and stylistic implications of the Mythic Other appearance, some Shakespearean characters are examined, as well as the "Rat Wife" which appears in Ibsen's play Little Eyolf{ 1894). The comparison with Ibsen's play accompanies the discussion of the Mythic Other in Brenner's Beyond the Boundaries, Yohanan's friend Eliyahu Hezkuni. Hezkuni portrays a combination of psychological and sexual otherness with mythic traits, which reflects the hero's hidden self, and exposes the entire play as dealing with salvation through otherness. A Tombstone for Two: Thematic and Poetic "Doubleness" in the Novel Temol Shilshom (Only Yesterday} by s. Y. Agnon shlomit Zaur This article suggests that the novel Temol Shilshom (Only Yesterday) by s. Y. Agnon is a "double novel" ("Doppelroman") whose plot embraces two different and very opposite stories: One relates to the adventures of Isaac Kumer during the Second "Aliyaln" (1903-1914) and is basically a story of rebirth and regeneration; the second is a story of events contemporary with the writing of the novel itself, i.e.. World War II (1939-1945) and is basically a story of destruction. Ihe central argument of this article is that it is necessary to perceive the simultaneous existence of the two stories in order to understand the novel as a whole V ؛and to interpret the world-view of its author. The article examines the Ihe first Orientalist "double-ness" of the novel while pausing to look at thematic and poetic revolutionary) in whil intersections central to the scholarly discourse on the novel, including trying to develop a nr the question of fragmentation, the deconstruction of reality, and the for the first time in mt nagging question of the relationship between the protagonist, Isaac after the increasing r Krimer, and the story about the dog Balak.

VI the first Orientalist stage (till 1920); the second stage (and the most revolutionary) in which he dismissed Zionistic hegemonic perspective, trying to develop a new Mizrachi ethnical and non-national narrative, for the first time in modern Hebrew literature (till 1929); the third stage, S, where he׳after the increasing national conflicts of 1929 and the 3O fully adopted Zionistic national perspective and adhered to it even this inner polarization in the writings of Burla, as well as .ا after 948 the first shift between etlinical and national perspectives, remained unnoticed in literary criticism.

In ,addition to non-verbal elements of behavior such as dress, jewelry ب colors and smells, gestures too have quite an important function in the ethics and aesthetics of the "Book of Books". However, biblical gestures have thus far been only inadequately studied (such studies as the work by Uri Ehrlich on gestures in the Jewish rites and the work by Mayer I.

  • David Grossman
    DAVID GROSSMAN Hans Christian Andersen Author Award 2020 Nominated by IBBY Israel A statement on the Grossman contribution to literature for children and young people. David Grossman (born in Jerusalem, 1954) is a major figure in contemporary Hebrew literature. He writes for older and younger readers, in alternating order: Following every adult book, Grossman publishes a book for younger readers, followed by an adult book, etc. In his literary and journalistic writing Grossman does not shy away from complicated and controversial issues. He fights for the human rights of people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. He is active in social justice causes and in peace initiatives between Arabs and Jews. In 1982 he published his first children’s book, Duel, about a twelve- year-old boy who makes friends with an elderly man in a nursing home. His writing for children and young adults encompasses a wide range of topics. In his picture books, he focuses on aspects of children’s daily life (Uri’s Special Language; A Brand-New Baby Brother) or their rich and wonderful imaginations, which can generate all sorts of fears (Itamar Walks on Walls; Itamar Meets a Rabbit, Itamar the Dream Hunter), worries (Don’t Worry Ruti, Itamar the Dream Hunter), or fantasies, sometimes involving imaginary friends (Hadas’ Friend). In Grossman’s picture books, the child’s world contains an empathic adult, the father, who respects the child, listens to him lovingly, and is able to suggest an unusual solution to the difficulty confronting the child, which the child is in turn quick to accept (the Itamar books; Who Wants a Piggy-Back?, Don’t Worry Ruti, etc.) In his writing for young adults Grossman deals with complicated issues, including ones that were considered taboo in the young adult Hebrew literature of their day.

It is located near the southern area of the Jordan valley. The salt-rich Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth's surface, being 400 meters below sea level. The air around the Dead Sea is unpolluted, dry, and pollen-free with low humidity, providing a naturally relaxing environment. The air in the region has a high mineral content due to the constant evaporation of the mineral rich water. 3. The Dead Sea comes in the list of the world's greatest landmarks, and is sometimes considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. People usually miss out on this as they do not realize the importance of its unique contents. The Dead Sea has twenty-one minerals which have been found to give nourishment to the skin, stimulate the circulatory system, give a relaxed feeling, and treat disorders of the metabolism and rheumatism and associate pains. The Dead Sea mud has been used by people all over the world for beauty purposes.
