  • 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.

  • Six Tikunim for Israel at 60
    For Educational Use Only Six T Six Tikkunim for Israel's Sixtieth Year In celebration and commemoration of Israel’s sixtieth anniversary, we propose six Tikkunim . The idea of Tikkun positions people in partnership with God, assuming responsibility for our world. By the same token, we invite Jews in Israel and abroad to share the responsibility for the present and future State of Israel, through meaningful learning and experience of current dilemmas of the sixty- year-old/young country. Halachah offers an educational frame for the number “sixty”, when it claims that food will be considered kosher even if it has a non-kosher ingredient, when the kosher ingredients of the food are sixty times greate r than the non kosher Thinking within this . ָטֵ ל ְִִ י ingredient. This is termed: Nullified by Sixty 1 framework as well as the framework of Tikkun Olam, led us to identify six Tikkunim for Israel’s sixtieth year. We hope that these Tikkunim will serve as an invitation for contemplation and action on that which requires mending and in turn become sixty times greater than other Israeli challenges. In the following document you will find six gates for six Tikkunim . Each gate is thematically inspired by one of the books of the Mishnah: Tikkun of Time תיקו הזמ – Zeraim (1 Tikkun of Shabbat תיקו שבת – Mo’ed (2 Tikkun of Gender תיקו המגדר – Nashim (3 Tikkun of Conservation תיקו השימור - Nezikin (4 Tikkun of the Sacred Place and Space תיקו המקו הקדוש - Kodashim (5 Tikkun of Social Ethics תיקו הכשרות החברתית – Toharot (6 1 " "ָ ל אִ רִ י ֶַ רָה [ ְטֵלִ י ] ְִִ י " ( תלמוד בבלי , קודשי , חולי , פרק ז ', ד+ צ" ח א ' גמרא) 1 Each Tikkun gate includes: a verse introducing the key issue, an essential question, a Jewish Text, an Israeli song and a contemporary Israeli thought.

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.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs A STRANGE DICHOTOMY marked the year. While the country enjoyed continued prosperity and stability, the government—especially Prime Minister Tony Blair—incurred increasing unpopularity, albeit not to a degree that would threaten Labour's continuance in office. The sustained growth of the economy and low interest rates softened the impact of tax increases on disposable income, although opinion polls did register discontent, particularly over local taxation. Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown's pre-budget report in December indicated that receipts were lower than anticipated while costs associated with the Iraq war had pushed spending above expectations. Nevertheless, Brown adhered to his "golden rule" that over the economic cycle the government should borrow only to invest. Employment reached a record high of 28.1 million, and the number of people applying for unemployment benefits dropped steadily, reaching 917,800 in November, 7,900 lower than a year before. High employment raised the threat of wage inflation. The burden of interest payments on the growing public debt raised similar concerns. In July, interest rates were cut a quarter-percent to 3.50 percent to stim- ulate the economy, but in December this was reversed for the first time in almost four years; rates went back up to 3.75 percent so as to coun- teract the danger of rises in house prices and personal debt. Politically, satisfaction with the government continued to decline from its peak of about 55 percent just after 9/11 to about 25 percent in De- cember 2003. The results of local elections held in May registered the po- litical fallout: Labour lost a combined 800 seats, and the Conservatives, winning the largest share of the vote, gained about 500.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 Cover : Deportation wagon, Auschwitz-Birkenau 1 Defending our values In 2015, a series of attacks by Islamists plunged France into mourning. Our values and our way of life were targeted and—once again—Jews were singled out. As we commemorate the seventieth anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi camps, as we remember this victory of the civilized world over barbarity, new barbarians have brought bloodshed to our streets, killing in cold blood in the name of an ideology of hate. In the face of these horrors, we cannot give in to fear nor to the temp- tation to withdraw, but must do everything in our power to defend our model of tolerance and liberty. As part of its mission and to the best of its ability, the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah aims to con- tribute to this combat. We have therefore bolstered our support in the combat against anti-Semitism and we will obviously continue to support education and knowledge of history. Today, more than ever, we want to transmit forcefully and with determination a message of fraternity from the survivors of the Shoah. Within this difficult context, the Foundation also intends to work with its partners to build the future of French Judaism. In 2015, we implemented an exceptional allocation of €10 million over three years so as to contrib- ute significantly to the financing of major projects. The goal is to support initiatives geared to strengthening French Judaism, with a particular fo- cus on educational and cultural projects. In opposition to those who would like to undermine the foundations of our society, we want to defend the shared values of Judaism and the Republic at one and the same time.

  • „Mert a Szavak Nyelve Összezavarodott” Avraham Shlonsky És a Francia Szimbolizmus
    Peremiczky Szilvia „Mert a szavak nyelve összezavarodott” Avraham Shlonsky és a francia szimbolizmus A 19. második felének új szellemi és fi lozófi ai irányzatai növekvő pesszimizmussal tekintettek a beszélt nyelv és a valóság érzékelésének és megértésének addig elfogadott módjaira. Különösen a racionalitás szerepe kérdőjeleződött meg, amelyet a modern korban először a romantika vont kétségbe, előtérbe helyezve az érzelmek, az álom, a képzelet szerepét. Ez a fi lozófi ai változás a romantikus költészet nyelvezetében is jelentős újításokat hozott, de az igazi poétikai fordulatot a dekadencia és a szimboliz- mus, mindenekelőtt a francia szimbolisták munkássága hozta el. A szimbolisták költői nyelvi forradalma,1 beleértve közvetlen elődeik és az úgynevezett neoszimbolisták költészetét is, az egész nyugati irodalomra és annak poétikájára hatalmas hatást gya- korolt, utat nyitva a szürrealizmus vagy az avantgárd radikális nyelvi újításainak is. Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Rimbaud, Verlaine lírája a magyar irodalomban többet között Ady, Kosztolányi és Tóth Árpád költészetét inspirálta, de a német, az angol, az orosz, az olasz és a spanyol nyelvű irodalom nyelvét is megújította. A szimbolizmus nyelvi forradalma éppen abban az időben érte el a modern hé- ber költészetet, amikor a beszélt héber nyelv újjászületése, a cionizmus és a modern héber kultúra jegyében a héber irodalmi nyelv maga is lázasan kereste az új utakat és lehetőségeket egy olyan irodalmi nyelv létrehozására, amely egyszerre képes a mo- dern világ megragadására, valamint a zsidó hagyomány és a héber nyelv tradícióinak a megőrzésére. A szimbolizmus a századfordulón és a huszadik század első évtizedeiben ösztönzően és megtermékenyítően hatott az első, már a brit mandátumi Palesztinában működő költőnemzedékekre. A modern héber irodalom első költőnemzedéke túlnyo- mórészt az orosz birodalomból érkezett, ezért a szimbolizmus mindenekelőtt az orosz irodalmon keresztül hatott költészetükre, esetleg a német vagy mint a Kárpátalján született Avigdor Hameiri esetében, Adyn, azaz a magyar irodalmon keresztül.
