AFTER MONTHS OF ANTICIPATORY ANXIETY ABOUT THE RESUMPTION OF IN-PERSON CLASSES, TEACHERS AND Teaching STUDENTS ARE DISCOVERING A REASSURING INNER RESILIENCY BY WENDY SCHNEIDER HAMILTON JEWISH NEWS in the age WHEN HAMILTON SCHOOLS abruptly suspended in-person classes last March, teachers and students were forced to quickly adapt to the new reality of remote learning. But after six months of a forced hiatus from the classroom, a of majority of Kindergarten to Grade 12 students across the province returned to in-person classes in September. Eight weeks into the new school term, the HJN COVID-19 talked to teachers and post-secondary educators within the community to get a picture of how they and their students are coping with new realities.

Sharon had a way of embracing you and engaging you through her incredible storytelling. Sharon was a dedicated advocate in the Hamilton community. Her passion for education and love of chil- dren were evident in the programs she created to teach, inspire and nurture young minds. Painting in the Park, a summer program that taught children the love of paint- ing in the outdoors, and The Golden Horseshoe Players were a couple of her initiatives to bring theatre and art to urban kids. She fundraised in Canada to help Israeli and Palestinian children have birthday parties. For her, it was always about the kids. After Sharon passed away in 2009, my father-in-law, Larry partnered with the Hamilton Jewish Federation to create the Sharon Enkin Award for Excellence in Holocaust Education.

Board who have found a way to tell the difficult but nec- essary stories and create a bridge between the past and present for our younger generation. It is presented at Federation’s annual Student Symposium on the Holocaust at Mohawk College. Every year at this symposium, my husband James and I have been amazed to see more than 1,000 curi- ous young faces, hear their thoughtful questions and witness their engagement. We wondered how we could channel that energy into action following the one-day event. In the aftermath of the high school shooting in Parkland, Fla., we were awe inspired by how young kids stood in solidarity against gun violence that claimed the lives of their friends. Their innocence had vanished and transformed into advocacy. Then, it hit us. Young people are the key. Why not engage the students directly in Holocaust education by creating an award to honour them? The power of their peers honouring them would give a new voice to a gener- ation of powerful young storytellers who would cham- pion Holocaust education for generations to come. With the incredible support of my father-in-law, James Experience the trust, dependability and and I brainstormed with Hamilton Jewish Federation CEO Gustavo Rymberg and campaign director, Elaine accountability that the Richter Group stores Levine, on how to make our idea a reality.

  • Caucasian Phobias and the Rise of Antisemitism in the North Caucasus in the 1920S
    Th e Soviet and Post-Soviet Review 36 (2009) 42–57 brill.nl/spsr Caucasian Phobias and the Rise of Antisemitism in the North Caucasus in the 1920s Lyudmila Gatagova Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences Abstract Before 1917 the North Caucasus witnessed almost no Jewish pogroms. After the Revolution, traditional Armenophobia began to decline and was replaced by a growing Judeophobia. Th e fi rst victims of the increasing anti-Semitism were the Mountain Jews. In the summer of 1926, there was a massive pogrom of Mountain Jews in Makhachkala and there were simultaneous pogroms in several other localities. Keywords North Caucasus, Armenia, antisemitism, mountain Jews, Armenophobia, pogrom Th e North Caucasus was not part of the Pale of Settlement, and therefore the percentage of Jewish population in the region was very low even in the towns, where there were only an insignifi cant number of Jews, primarily merchants and artisans. European Jews began to appear in the territory only in the 19th century, the only exception being Dagestan, where the compact communities of Mountain Jews had lived since the early Middle Ages. As a consequence, prior to 1917, the North Caucasus had experienced neither anti-Jewish pogroms, nor antisemitism. In their stead, Armenophobia dominated virtu- ally the entire region. In the absence of a Jewish population, Jew-baiting was practically non-existent. Th e closest analogy was to be found in hostile attitudes to Armenians. 1 In a sense, in the North Caucasus, the Armenians substituted for Jews as an incarnation of evil. 1 ) E.H.

  • Jewish Studies in Contemporary St. Petersburg: a Response to Andrew
    SCRIPTA JUDAICA CRACOVIENSIA Vol. 11 (2013) pp. 47–53 doi: 10.4467/20843925SJ.13.005.1301 J EWISH STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY ST. PETERSBURG: A RESPONSE TO ANDREW REED J. Eugene Clay Key words: Russia, St. Petersburg, Jewish Studies, higher education Abstract: Despite the drastic decline in the Jewish population of St. Petersburg, Russia, Jewish studies is undergoing a renaissance thanks to the dedication of activists, scholars, and specialists. Jewish life in St. Petersburg represents a paradox. On the one hand, the numbers of Jews in St. Petersburg has declined precipitously over the last half-century. On the other, Jewish life in the second capital of the Russian Federation is undergoing something of a renaissance, as Andrew Reed points out in his fascinating paper. The numbers of Jews in Russia as a whole and in St. Petersburg in particular has been steadily growing smaller and smaller. From a high point of 891,000 in 1939, the number of Jews on the territory of the present Russian Federation declined to 537,000 in 1989 (Iurkov 1998: 64). But the greatest decline occurred in the post-Soviet period. The 2002 census reported only 233,439 Jews (including 3394 Dagestani Mountain Jews, 53 Georgian Jews, and 54 Central Asian Jews) in all of Russia (Itogi 2004: 10). In the 1990s, nearly two of every five Jews in the former Soviet Union chose to leave their post-Soviet homes and estab- lish themselves abroad (primarily in Israel, the United States, and Germany) (Gitelman 2012: 2). Russia’s second city, Leningrad/St. Petersburg, reflects this general trend.

  • Literary Coteries and the Making of Modern Print Culture
    LITERARY COTERIES AND THE MAKING OF MODERN PRINT CULTURE Literary Coteries and the Making of Modern Print Culture, 1740–1790 offers the first study of manuscript-producing coteries as an integral element of eighteenth-century Britain’s literary culture. As a corrective to literary histories assuming that the dominance of print meant the demise of a vital scribal culture, the book profiles four interrelated and influential coteries, focusing on each group’s deployment of traditional scribal practices, on key individuals who served as bridges between networks, and on the esthetic and cultural work performed by the group. Literary Coteries also explores points of intersection between coteries and the print trade, whether in the form of individuals who straddled the two cultures; publishing events in which the two media regimes collaborated or came into conflict; literary conventions adapted from manuscript practice to serve the ends of print; or simply poetry hand-copied from magazines. Together, these instances demon- strate how scribal modes shaped modern literary production. betty a. schellenberg is Professor of English at Simon Fraser University, Canada, where she is a founding member of the Print Culture group and winner of a Dean’s Medal for Excellence. She has edited, for The Cambridge Edition of the Correspondence of Samuel Richardson, the volume of Correspondence Primarily on Sir Charles Grandison (1750–1754), which appeared in 2015.

  • From Babylonia to Bombay to Burma: Sojourning Through Asian Hebraica by Way of New York
    © 2009 LaVerne L. Poussaint From Babylonia to Bombay to Burma: Sojourning through Asian Hebraica by Way of New York THIS WINTER PAST, I journeyed to Sotheby’s to bear witness to a wonder: the hal- lowed holdings of the Valmadonna Trust Library (VTL) collection on exhibit in New York. I ventured forth to explore this rarefied repository of tenth- through early twentieth-century1 CE texts, declared by the cognoscenti to be “the finest pri- vate library of Hebrew books and manuscripts in the world.”2 As I joined the cara- van of inquiring minds and devout adherents alike in a lengthy line that extended around the corner from the auction house’s York Avenue entrance, the hour-long wait allowed me time to cross-match the gallery floor layout copy (readily prof- fered by Sotheby’s staff to the February frost–defying, slightly shivering crowd of bibliophiliacs) with my notes and a map of Hebrew printing presses3 to devise a lo- gistical plan of approach for viewing le grande corpus—with specific intent to probe its Indian and Chinese acquisitions.4 The framing of a panoramic view—captured against the fluidly complex backdrop of historic regions of Asia Minor, the Levant, Mesopotamia (modern Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Iran), Transcaucasia, Greater India, Greater Persia, Eurasia, and the Pacific Rim—is presented throughout this review to bring into fuller focus the significance of the sphere and scope, the reach and range of the Asian Hebraic components within VTL’s larger Judaica collection. Besotted and bemused was I upon exiting the elevator of the tenth floor galleries.
