  • CHELM in JERUSALEM by R. Seliger
    CHELM IN JERUSALEM By R. Seliger It’s Sukkot, the holiday that requires observant Jews to feel the fragility of our existence by eating in the sukkah – the fragile temporary outdoor booth, exposed to the elements of early fall. I wrote this film review two years ago. If you have the opportunity, you should consider the delights of this unusual film. “Ushpizin” resembles an Isaac Bashevis Singer tale in its rendering of totally sincere (or naive) characters immersed in religious observances, a belief in miracles, and a personal relationship with the Almighty. The world of Jerusalem’s Hasidim is largely a ghetto in its isolation from the rest of modern Israel, but not quite. Two convicts, evading the law, show up at the doorstep of our hero, Moshe Bellanga, and his good wife Malli, on erev Sukkot. It turns out that one criminal was a friend from Moshe’s wayward days in Eilat before he became a Baal Tshuva [a newly observant Jew] as a Breslover Hasid. The Bellangas are overjoyed that the two can be their ushpizin – Aramaic for “holy guests” – for the holiday, as traditional lore enjoins. But there is nothing holy in how their low-life guests behave. That the virtually destitute Bellangas have a sukkah and the money to celebrate the festival at all are “miracles.” Actually, they are the result of perfectly explainable events, but the pious couple understands their dramatic change of fortune as divine intervention, as an answer to their devotion and a part of their ongoing dialogue with Hashem. Similarly, when bad fortune strikes, they are rendered bereft not only by the event itself, but also by the notion that they have done something displeasing in the eyes of God or, even more painfully, that their suffering has meaning they cannot fathom in the sacred scheme of things.

  • A Prayerbook for Shabbat Evening
    “And They Answered You with Song” Kesher Community Siddur A Prayerbook For Shabbat Evening Editors: Joe Skloot ’05, Founding Editor Ben Amster ‘07 Joshua Packman ‘07 Jonah Perlin ‘07 With an introduction by Rabbi Julie Roth Princeton University Center for Jewish Life / Hillel 2002-2006 INTRODUCTION t is with great anticipation and joy that we present this siddur to the Reform Jewish I Community at Princeton. We want you to be proud to have this text as your own and hope that you are able to find inspiration from it for many years to come. The Princeton Reform Siddur Project began in 2003, before the current co-chairs matriculated, and it is an honor to be able to complete this endeavor. Before the first word of the prayerbook was written, there was a desire to produce a document that reflected both our desire to include as much of the traditional liturgy as practical and a firm commitment to include user friendly translations and personal meditations as well. For that reason, we have included the entire Kabblat Shabbat service as well as many additional songs and thoughts in the margins to encourage future service leaders to explore various aspects of the liturgy from one week to the next. The dilemma we faced when debating the extent to which our prayerbook would be traditional and the extent to which it would reflect our more liberal values revolved around our desire to allow individual worshipers the ability to draw their own interpretations from traditional texts. In our opinion, translating with poetic excellence or a desire to change the meanings of words for political correctness would create a prayerbook in which the part of the responsibility upon the reader has been limited by the writer.

  • March Chronicle.Indd
    CONGREGATION NEVEH SHALOM March 2008/ADAR I/Adadr II 5768 CHRONICLE No. 6 This newsletter is supportedpp by y the Sala Kryszek y Memorial Publication Fund From the Pulpit Esther: The Paradigm of the Diaspora Jewish Existence If we accept the Exodus epic as our Jewish master story, then the drama contained in the scroll of Esther constitutes the paradigmatic story of Jewish existence in the Diaspora. A master story of an ethnic, religious or national entity is the central historical event or series of events that informs that society about its guiding values and principles. Clearly the Exodus from Egyptian bondage followed by the receipt of God’s revelation and wandering 40 years in the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land serves that primary purpose for Jews. God heard the cry of the oppressed and chose Moses as God’s instrument in challenging Pharaoh to liberate God’s own people. Once free, the Children of Israel came to Mt. Sinai where God gave them laws to live by in order to establish a moral society. Together they persevered until they were worthy of inheriting the land that God promised them as an everlasting inheritance. However instructive our master story is in defi ning our most highly treasured values, nearly 2000 years of our history were spent far from our ancestral home in lands of the Jewish Diaspora. We lived in foreign lands as a subject minority population. We did our best to simultaneously be loyal residents (because not until the French Revolution and the American experience were we considered full citizens) and maintain our distinct identity as Jews.

  • Paradigms of the Unknown
    PARADIGMS OF THE UNKNOWN TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL HORIZONS IN CONTEMPORARY HUNGARIAN CRIME FICTION THESES Edit Dömötör Doctoral School: Hungarian Literature Leader of the Doctoral School: Zoltán Kenyeres DSc. Doctoral Programme: Contemporary Hungarian Literature Leader of the Doctoral Programme: Tamás Tarján CSc. Consultant : Tamás Tarján CSc. Eötvös Loránd University Faculty of Humanities Budapest, 2008 The Object, the Goal and the Theoretical Framework of the Research The object of the dissertation is the approach of contemporary Hungarian crime fiction from an epistemological and a reader-response critical point of view, and, furthermore, the examination of the shifts in the epistemological horizons and in the discourses of crime. Foregrounding the process of cognition provides the opportunity to study this genre in a wider cultural and historical context along the issues of the historical constructions of observation and seeing, reading, the closely related concepts of space, time and narrative, the secret, the accessibility of the past and the medial conditioning of the possibilities of ”fixing” the criminal. The ”models” of observation (Crary) are inseparable from the reorganization of knowledge, i.e. from the fact that thay provide diverse modes of cognition. The dissertation formulates the paradigms of investigation in crime fiction on the basis of epistemological, semiotical and reader-response critical considerations. In addition, it presents their (re)interpretations in various and diverse initiatives in contemporary Hungarian literature. The goal of studying the epistemological paradigms of investigation carries the methodological consequence that, in order to clarify the modes of posing these problems, the dissertation involves, besides contemporary Hungarian literature, foreign, older Hungarian and also works enforcing other generic codes.

    “Their Solitary Way”: Marital Reconciliation in the Conversion Scene of Paradise Lost by Michael Gadaleto A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Spring 2008 Copyright © 2008 by Michael Gadaleto To Drew, Jim, Becky, and Mike The world was all before them, where to choose Their place of rest, and Providence their guide. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are many hundreds of people all over the greater Ann Arbor area who deserve my thanks, be it for servicing my ever stronger caffeine addiction or for patiently listening while I pontificated about unification, upward mobility or humiliation, words so deadly dull that they strike fear into all hearts but that of the Miltonist. I will limit myself, however, to acknowledging those few people without whom this thesis would not exist. First and foremost I would like to thank Professor Ralph Williams. The only thing more thrilling than his agreement to become my advisor was the discovery of his boundless generosity and kindness. His enthusiasm for Milton and for learning has been infectious, and I deeply regret that our weekly meetings will be coming to an end. Yet I cannot help but feel, as almost anyone who comes into contact with him must, that I have gained a lifetime friend and mentor, and for this alone I am blessed in this process. I would also like to thank Professor Doug Trevor, whose assistance was indispensable and whose office was always open to me. My mother, Teri Mikan Gadaleto, read early drafts of this thesis and managed as she always does to walk the razor’s edge between praise and remarkably insightful criticism.
