Building Our Spiritual Community
UPCOMING EVENTS, ACTIVITIES AND SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS Building Our Spiritual Community FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17 – 22 SHEVAT 5:21 PM – Candle Lighting 6 PM – Minha/Kabbalat Shabbat/Ma’ariv 7 PM – Congregational Oneg Shabbat SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18 – 22 SHEVAT 9:30 AM – Kol Tefilah – Morning Service 10:45 AM – Parashat Hashavua – Adult Torah Study 12:30 PM – Singing Jerusalem Sing-Along 5:20 PM – Minha/Seudah Shlishit/Ma’ariv/Havdalah 6:26 PM – Shabbat Ends Engaging Jerusalem "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem..." Jerusalem has captured the imagination of Jews for centuries. It's the direction to which we pray, it's the aspiration of centuries of dreamers, it holds hope and promise for many. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Six Day War, Har Zion will engage our kehillah in a celebration of the city of our eternal city of hope. Over the next eight months, we will explore the diverse role Jerusalem has played for us as a people, from biblical times to present day. Each month has been assigned a verb that will guide our exploration. We’ve dedicated February to Singing Jerusalem. The number of songs about Jerusalem is nearly endless since the themes of the holiness and centrality of Jerusalem, returning to Zion and longing for Jerusalem have been a part of Jewish literature since Biblical times. Each week we will feature one or two selections from the endless well of “Songs about Jerusalem.” Two offerings this week – The first, “Jerusalem is Mine,” is by Kenny Karen, a singer/songwriter and son of a prominent rabbi from Montreal. -
Pioneering a Cure
Pioneering a cure Jun. 15, 2009 MEL BEZALEL , THE JERUSALEM POST When the first pioneers arrived on these shores almost 100 years ago, they carried with them numerous and varied cultural identities, a reminder of their home communities that, in many cases, had evolved over many generations. Music was a significant facet of this, says the New York-based Rabbi Greg Wall, producer of Pioneers for a Cure (PfaC), a charity project officially launched on Yom Ha'atzmaut this year to raise funds for cancer research through re-recording and distributing pioneer songs. Thirty tracks were recorded over the past two years in a New York studio, and are now available to download. Wall admits he knew very little about pioneer music before undertaking the mammoth task of coordinating the new recordings, by well-known modern artists such as Neshama Carlebach, David Broza, Pharoah's Daughter and Tovah Feldshuh. In fact, the idea was not his own. Wall's friend of 10 years, who is being identified only as "the anonymous benefactor" (he financially supports the entire project), proposed the fundraising scheme to Wall two years ago, along with fellow American PfaC teammates Beth Ravin, a music industry mogul who sits on the Grammy committee, and Ricky Orbach, founder and head of nonprofit record label Joodayoh. The benefactor's aim is to raise $100,000 for cancer research by the end of 2009 through downloads of the tracks, which can be purchased separately on the PfaC Web site (www.pioneersforacure.org) or iTunes Web site for $1.99, $9.99 or $99.99, so each track raises money independently. -

MUSIC HISTORY M73 PAGE 1 of 14
MUSIC HISTORY M73 April 14, 2017 To: Muriel Mc Clendon, Chair General Education Governance Committee Attn: Myrna Dee C. Kikuchi, Program Representative A265 Murphy Hall Mail Code: 157101 From: Elisabeth Le Guin Department of Musicology RE: Proposal for GE credit for Music History M73 and 69 On behalf of the department of Musicology, I am submitting the attached proposals to allow our new courses, Music History M73: Music & Religion in Popular Culture and Music History 69: Music & Politics, to satisfy the university’s GE requirement in Visual and Performance Arts Analysis and Practice, Historical Analysis, and Social Analysis effective Fall 2017. These innovative new courses were designed with the principles of general education in mind and were created in an attempt to meet the increased demand for diverse popular music courses. The Department of Musicology has been proposing new GE that address the aspects of listening and music that intersect with other disciplines such as social sciences, history, ethics, and politics. We would also like to use the experience and expertise of Professors Shana Redmond and Mark Kligman, whose research is addressing these topics. Please note that although courses in Music History have tended to be classified under “Visual and Performance Art Analysis and Practice,” we are applying for Historical and Social Analysis GE credit, as well, in view of both the interdisciplinary nature of the topic and the broad spectrum of approaches explored in the course. If you have any questions or require further clarification on our proposal, I can be reached at [email protected] or 310-206-5187. -
Am Chofshi B'artzenu
חיתפ ד www.makom.haaretz.com www.makomisrael.org R עם חופשי בארצנו – Am Chofshi B’Artzenu עם חופשי בארצנו Am Chofshi B’Artzenu A Free People – in Our Land A Free People in Our Land Introduction The Palestinian Authority has announced that in Sep tember this year it will be seeking recognition of the State of Palestine at the UN. Whether or not this plan succeeds, and whether or not this turns out to be disastrous or beneficial for Israel, what is clear is that in this period we will see a significant upturn in what has come to be known as “delegitimiz ation”. This “delegitimization” movement would seem to be made up of a few genuine enemies of Israel who wish to eliminate its right to exist, and many people who do not seek Israel’s elimination but have found in campaigns such as Boycott, Divestment , Sanctions (BDS) a convenient way to express their critique of Israeli policy. Our task as a community will be to drive a wedge between the enemies of Israel, and her critical friends. In order to do so, we ourselves must be clear as to the difference. How do we differentiate between the dangerous enemy of Israel, and the conf used guy who could do with reading a book or two? The less we distinguish between critique and attack, the more we are likely to push the confused critic – non-Jewish or Jewish - into the arms of our enemies. So how do we do it? How do we sketch out the limits of our “broad tent”? We would suggest that the answer lies in Israel’s national anthem. -
Composer Biographies and Annotations
The Composers — ROBERT APPLEBAUM (bobapplebaum.com) For many years, music was an abiding love but a professional sideline for Robert Applebaum, who taught physics and chemistry at New Trier High School, Winnetka, IL, from 1965 until his retirement in June 2000. He began composing choral music for the Jewish liturgy in 1980 and has written three Sabbath services, including one for choir and jazz trio. He has composed choral settings of many psalms as well as non-secular texts. Professional, community, and children’s choirs throughout the world have performed Applebaum’s music. Chicago a cappella included two of his Chanukah pieces on their 2002 recording Holidays Live and three of his settings of Shakespeare texts on their highly acclaimed 2005 Çedille release, Shall I Compare Thee? His setting of Im Ein Ani Li Mi Li is included on Chicago a cappella’s 2010 recording, Days of Awe and Rejoicing. As a jazz pianist/composer, he has three albums to his credit: Hora and Blue (Global Village, 1993) with the Modern Klezmer Quartet, The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree (jazz piano duos with his son Mark Applebaum (Innova, 2002), and Friday Night Jazz Service (2007). ROBERT APPLEBAUM on El Malei Rachamim “When Cantor Nancy Kassel contacted me with the assignment to set this prayer, my first re- sponse was ‘Thank you for giving me such a juicy text!’. Three images in this text resonated for me: A merciful and compassionate God, the wings of the Shechinah providing shelter and repose, and the binding of the souls of those who have died to Adonai, and by extension, to us, the living. -

magazineFOR QUEENS COLLEGE ALUMNI & FRIENDS Fall 2006 Celebrating the Arts at QC Jazz Fest ON THE QUAD It was one of the hottest days of the sum- mer, but the music and the dancing were even hotter at the second annual Queens Jazz Festival on Sunday, July 30. The free festival on the Quad featured jazz drawn from the many rich cultural traditions of Queens. Highlights included Timba Tango, a sizzling combination of jazz, tango, and other Latin styles, starring trumpeter Michael Phillip Mossman (Copland School) and his Ensemble and renowned flamenco dancer Mayte Vicens. The day’s music concluded with an electrifying performance of classic jazz by Jon Faddis and his Ensemble. magazineVol. X, No. 1, Fall 2006 FOR QUEENS COLLEGE ALUMNI & FRIENDS Mailbag Rathaus Hall.

HAKOL Chanukah 5781
HAKOL Chanukah 5781 Kislev - Shevat 5781 December 2020 - February 2021 Solihull & District Hebrew Congregation www.solihullshul.org Tel:0121 706 8736 [email protected] registered charity no. 1100938 Dear Friends, Potato latkas. Dreidels. Judah the Maccabee. Judith the Heroine. The Chanukah Menorah. Blue cardboard boxes of all different colored candles. (As a kid did you try to create an interesting pattern each night?) Chocolate Chanukah coins. The song, Maoz Tzur. “I had a little dreidel...” Clay Menorahs made in Hebrew school. Chanukah is made of memories and for memories. Taste the latkas and jam doughnuts. See the candles burn brightly in the Menorah. Hear the singing of the blessings over the Menorah. Touch the letters engraved on the dreidel: nun, gimmel, hay, shin - “A Great Miracle Happened There.” Chanukah is a special time for family, friends and children. Chanukah is a Jewish holiday celebrating the victory of the weak (militarily) over the mighty, the few (in number) over the many. Chanukah is a celebration of the re-dedication of the Holy Temple after it had been defiled - but not destroyed - by the Greeks. For the Greeks did not wish to destroy the Holy Temple nor the Torah; they wished only to defile the mitzvot (commandments). The Greeks attempted to lessen their holiness, their uniqueness, their impact on our Jewish lives. “We too, have wisdom,” they declared. “We, too, have gods. We, too, have holidays. Know that your Temple is like our temples. The wisdom of your Divine Torah is like our man-made wisdom. There is nothing particularly holy about them.” So what do you say to a child who wants a “Chanukah bush,” or who wants a photograph with Santa? What do you do about the pressure of giving Chanukah presents instead of the Jewish custom of giving Chanukah gelt (money). -
Fundacja Shalom WARSZAWA SINGERA XI FESTIWAL KULTURY ŻYDOWSKIEJ 23 – 31 Sierpnia 2014
Fundacja Shalom WARSZAWA SINGERA XI FESTIWAL KULTURY ŻYDOWSKIEJ 23 – 31 sierpnia 2014 Organizatorzy zastrzegają sobie prawo do zmian w programie Szanowni Państwo, Drodzy Przyjaciele, od dziesięciu lat towarzyszycie kolejnym warszawskim edycjom naszego Festiwalu. Nazwaliśmy go „Warszawa Singera“ w przekonaniu, że to właśnie w twórczości jego patrona najlepiej wyraził się duch przedwojennej żydowskiej Warszawy i jej języka – jidysz. Nikt tak jak Icchok Baszewis Singer nie opisał zaułków Muranowa, Grzybowa i Starego Miasta, tamtejszych bożnic, sklepów i domów nauki, chasydów i litwaków, uczonych i kupców, bogaczy, biedaków i złodziei. Jeżeli warszawscy Żydzi mieli swojego barda, który ich unieśmiertelni i rozsławił na całym świecie, był nim właśnie autor „Rodziny Muszkatów”, „Spinozy z ulicy Rynkowej” i „Urzędu mojego ojca”. Jeżeli Icchok Baszewis Singer otrzymał literacką Nagrodę Nobla, dostał ja dzięki Warszawie. Ale Singer to nie tylko Warszawa, a Warszawa to nie cały żydowski świat. Patron naszego Festiwalu przyszedł na świat w Leoncinie na Mazowszu. Najwcześniejsze lata spędził w chasydzkim Radzyminie pod Warszawa, młodość – w stolicy, u ojca na sławnej ulicy Krochmalnej, oraz w Biłgoraju na Lubelszczyźnie, w rodzinnym domu Baszewy, ukochanej matki. To na jej część stał się Baszewisem. Opuściwszy Polskę na zawsze w 1935 roku, wyjechał do Nowego Jorku, gdzie mieszkał ponad pół wieku. I tak, bez Radzymina nie byłoby Dworu, bez podroży na Lubelszczyznę – debiutanckiego Szatana w Goraju i pisanego już po wojnie Sztukmistrza z Lublina, ulubionej książki wielu miłośników jego talentu. Z kolei bez Nowego Jorku nie powstałyby Cienie nad rzeka Hudson – przejmujący portret żydowskich emigrantów w Nowym Świecie, których wciąż nawiedzają widziadła Zagłady. Dlatego w tym roku wychodzimy poza warszawskie opłotki.
