When we think of the word building, numerous in total. When I reflect on the time we spent in Israel thoughts and images come to mind. We may be building together, I think about how much we have been able to something physical in our homes, building relationships, or build today as a Jewish people. Each day in Israel outdid perhaps building something more spiritual from within. the next: the sights, the smells, the sounds, the people—it was all indescribable. We had a chance to spend an Our holidays during the next few months will be spent incredible day in our partnership region, meeting people celebrating the beginning stages of the building of our who are teachers, teenagers, authors, and workers on a people.

As most of you know, we just returned last month from an invigorating community trip to Israel with 41 participants . Kol Shira: The Voice of Song By Hazzan Jeremy Lipton CELEBRATE OUR JEWISH LIVES! With the transformation of Kolenu from a monthly newsletter to a quarterly publication, it has created an opportunity for all of us to look ahead and view our upcoming holiday celebrations through a more global lens. Beginning with our joyful celebration this month of Pesach—z’man cheiruteinu, “the time of our freedom,” we can project through the entire seven week period that will take us all the way to Shavuot—z’man matan torateiun, “the time of the giving of the Torah.” The Book of Exodus teaches us a valuable lesson that is reinforced within these next two months of our calendar: freedom is not the ultimate goal, but only the beginning of our journey, which compels us to learn about ourselves as a part of Am Y’Israel, collectively and as individuals, within the community. As we read in the Torah each and every year, Moses’s leading of the Children of Israel out of Egypt is only the beginning of our story; the path to the Land of Israel, though fraught with obstacles, unknowingly provides us with the tools to become who we are going to be, instead of who we think we are when we leave Egypt, a story played out in the next three books of the Torah! Traditionally, we mark this transitional time of year by counting the omer (a unit of grain) every evening during the weeks between Pesach and Shavuot. This is a transformational time, one balanced between our reveling in new found freedom and our receiving the light of the Torah at Mount Sinai. During this period we also commemorate a series of more recent historical events—Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Memorial Day), Yom Hazikaron (Israel Remembrance Day) and Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israeli Independence Day). These days reaffirm our commitment and passion toward our shared destiny, just as the people Israel become the nation Israel through Torah. As members of the greater San Antonio Jewish community, we will remember these days with city-wide commemorative events that will take place this year both at Temple Beth El and at the JCC Campus. I am extremely honored to represent our congregation by chanting the unique El malei rachamim (God Full of Compassion), a special version of the memorial prayer offered during this emotionally packed, two-week period that reminds us of the cost of freedom, and of our continual longing for it. We will conclude these days by celebrating along with the members of our Confirmation Class and their families as they participate in a special Friday Night with Friends Musical Kabbalat Shabbat Service on Friday, May 19th at 6:15 p.m. That night will mark a significant moment for our 10th-grade students, as we acknowledge their many years of formal study in our own Inda Posner Religious School. That same Shabbat weekend, on Saturday morning May 20th at 9:00 a.m. we will also witness the members of this year’s Adult Bar/Bat Mitzvah class, as they mark an extremely emotional milestone in their Jewish lives by being called to the Torah as B’nei Mitzvah. Come and celebrate with your Agudas Achim family as we celebrate these special simchas in our members’ lives!

Each week in our Shabbat Services, we recite a prayer of Thanksgiving to God. The Modim prayer acknowledges the role of God in our lives, morning, noon and night, and by recit- ing this prayer, we acknowledge God and say thank you for all we have in our lives. For those of us who are regular Shabbat attenders, this is part of our weekly routine. How many of us take the time to pause, think about all we have that fulfills us and makes living worthwhile and say thank you? On Shabbat, the liturgy tells us that we do not seek to acquire or to gain, we pause to count our blessings. Many of our congregants come to be with us only on the holidays and an occasional Shabbat. Shabbat Services are so much less formal than the High Holidays and they can pro- vide you with an opportunity to take a step back from the rest of the week. You can put your busy lives and smartphones down for an hour or so and relax.

Ever since I was a little boy I have been a fan, and some might even say that I became somewhat obsessed, for which I cannot really blame them. Moreover, I have always had a special interest in mixed language songs, so linking the two subjects seemed only natural. Thanks to a rather unfortunate turn of events, this thesis took a lot longer to write than was initially planned, but nevertheless, here it is. Special thanks are in order for my supervisor, Tony Foster, who has helped me in many ways during this time. I would also like to thank a number of other people for various reasons.

    Machon L’Morim .*9&/- 0&,/ “Each individual has the right to feel that the world is created for his own sake. As a logical consequence of this conception, each child is entitled to be loved and cared for in order that he may have the possibility of developing to his maximum capability.” “Judaism has special esteem for children, considering them the hope for the future and the basis for the perpetuation of the Torah...Children are the vital links in the continuation of the unbroken chain of the Jewish heritage throughout the ages.” Shoshna Matzner-Bekerman in The Jewish Child: Halakhic Perspectives Judaism has traditionally accorded children a place of honor and esteem within the family and the community. Judaism insists parents provide children with love, trust, compassion, and guidance. Early childhood educators participate in the raising of children virtually at the same level as the parents. The Talmud tells us that “one who teaches the child Torah is considered as if he had borne him.” It is apparent that if we want children to actually experience how they are honored and esteemed as individuals in Jewish tradition, we must do more than teach them about the religion. We ourselves must embody the Jewish values that inform our love and respect. We must project these values through our own interactions with them and with each other, allowing them to feel in an immediate way what it is like to participate in a community based on the love God holds for each of us. These are the values that our rituals, holidays, and practices clothe in celebration and participation.

I argue that it was the ambiguous play between Greek music’s discursive value (its “image”) and the semiotic potential of its sound and music-adjacent practices, that allowed for its double-reception by Euro-Israeli elites and Working-class immigrants from Arab and Muslim countries (Mizrahim). This ambiguity positioned Greek music as a site for bypassing, negotiating, and subverting the dichotomy between Jew and Arab. As embodied in the 1960s by the biggest local star of Greek music––Aris San (1940- 1992) ––and by Greek international films such as Zorba the Greek, Greece and “Greekness” were often perceived as an unthreatening (i.e.

  • The Path Leading to the Abyss: Hebrew and Yiddish in the Poetry Of
    The Path Leading to the Abyss: Hebrew and Yiddish in the Poetry of Yaakov Steinberg 1903-1915 Elazar Elhanan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Elazar Elhanan All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Path Leading to the Abyss: Hebrew and Yiddish in the Poetry of Yaakov Steinberg 1903-1915. Elazar Elhanan This dissertation explores the dynamics of identity construction and nation building in Hebrew and Yiddish literature in Russia and Poland in the decade following the 1905 revolution. It examines these dynamics through a study of the poetry of Yaakov Steinberg between the years 1903-1915. Steinberg, an important but little studied poet and writer, wrote extensively in both languages. He renounced Yiddish upon his immigration to Palestine. Through the comparison of Steinberg’s Hebrew poems and the poems he wrote in Yiddish this dissertation exposes the intricate relations between the languages and the political ideologies of Yiddishism and Zionism that accompanied them, in Steinberg’s work and in general. The dissertation shows how the constitution of a modern national subject became the prime concern for these literatures, both as a general ideological demand and as a personal, emotional question. By placing the conflict between the two language ideologies in the center of the debate, this dissertation seeks to point out to a serious methodological lacuna in the study of Hebrew literature and of Zionist history. By placing Yaakov Steinberg’s poetry in a wide polyglot context and defining his bilingualism as a fundamental characteristic and a major theoretic concern, this work seeks to demonstrate the depth and span of the discourse on the future of the Jews, as individuals or as a nation, that took place in the revolutionary space of turn of the century Russia.
