PAGE 4 WWW.AGUDATH.ORG MAY 2017 50th Anniversary of the Reunification of Jerusalem – June 1967 This June, Jews throughout the world will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem in June of 1967. Rabbi Reuven Hammer compiled an inspiring volume, The Jerusalem Anthology, offering reflections. Rabbi Hammer notes: “It would not be an exaggeration to say that no city in the history of the nations has been as important a part of the consciousness of a people for as long and continuous a period of time as has Jerusalem. For 3,000 years it has been the capitol of the kingdom of the people of Rabbi Silverstein Israel, whatever name and form that people assumed. Even when there was no kingdom .... Jerusalem was the capitol of the stateless people called the Jews.” Pauline Rose, a survivor of the 1948 Arab siege of the Jewish quarter recollected, “We remember the brokenness of 1948 - It felt like 586 BCE, when the first temple was destroyed. The Old City is in flames! Smoke is rising from the burning synagogues within its walls!” Driven out of their burning homes, after months of attack, hunger and thirst, those brave Jewish people; men, women and children - a mere handful in comparison with the numbers of the enemy - have been forced to surrender. For many months, they had defended their homes, their synagogues, their lives. With little ammunition, cut off from all supplies of arms and food, from all communication with their brethren outside the walls, their power to hold out so long cannot be explained in terms of this world. “At first they came into our houses and shot at us. Then, as they set fire to our homes, we retreated. We hid for days in cellars and kept alive with a little food we had stored. When they came to burn the last houses, we had to surrender.” (Pauline Rose, The Siege of Jerusalem in Reuven Hammer, p.308) At the war’s end, in 1949 -- on the first Yom HaAtzmaut [Israel independence Day]-- a memorial was inscribed to those who fell in defense of Jerusalem. It read: “This stone is a witness to the gallantry of those who hurled their lives into her defense and stood in the breach when Ishmael and Edom rose against us to seize Jerusalem from Israel; to the heroes of the underground secret war who were not recognized as soldiers and not permitted to wear uniforms and wave flags - they did not live as soldiers, but died like them... This stone is a witness that Jerusalem has not been and will not be separated from the body of the State of Israel and from the heart of the people of Israel; for her sake

  • Lyre of the Levites: Klezmer Music for Biblical Lyre
    LYRE OF THE LEVITES: KLEZMER MUSIC FOR BIBLICAL LYRE "Lyre of the Levites: Klezmer Music for Biblical Lyre" is the sequel album to "King David's Lyre; Echoes of Ancient Israel". Both of these albums are dedicated to recreating again, for the first time in almost 2000 years, the mystical, ancient sounds of the "Kinnor"; the Hebrew Temple Lyre, once played by my very own, very ancient Levite ancestors in the Courtyard of the Temple of Jerusalem, to accompany the singing of the Levitical Choir (II Chronicles 5:12)... THE CHOICE OF REPERTOIRE FOR THE ALBUM "Lyre of the Levites" uniquely features arrangements of primarily traditional melodies from the Jewish Klezmer repertoire arranged for solo Levitical Lyre - the concept of the musical performances on this album, are meant to be evocations, not reconstructions, of the sounds & playing techniques that were possible on the ten-stringed Kinnor of the Bible; there are sadly too few unambiguously notated melodies from antiquity to make an album of "note for note" reconstructions of ancient instrumental solo lyre music a feasible reality. However, the traditional Jewish scales/modes in which these pieces are actually written may well have roots which stretch deeply back to these distant, mystically remote Biblical times, according to the fascinating research of the late Suzanne Haik Vantoura, in attempting to reconstruct the original 3000 year old music of the Hebrew Bible. THE TWELVE TRACKS There are 12 tracks to the album - corresponding to the 12 Gems which once adorned the Breastplate of the Levitical Priests of the Temple of Jerusalem. These 12 Gems represented the 12 Tribes of Israel.

  • “A Person Cannot Walk Away from Jerusalem Unchanged….”
    “A person cannot walk away from Jerusalem unchanged….” 2000 years ago there was a Jewish Kingdom whose capital Destroyed and .ירושלים ,was Jerusalem, Yerushalayim desecrated for centuries, the Jewish People were finally reunited with the holiest of cities central to our faith, our history and our identity. Join us as we celebrate our origin, our return and our connection to Zion, the City of Gold! Yom Yerushalayim: The Reunification of A People And A Past By Elana Yael Heideman There has been a continuous Jewish presence in Jerusalem, and our connection to and passion for the city has been preserved as a memory by Jewish people around the world. Though the modern state of Israel was born in 1948, for years Jews were cut off from the Old City of Jerusalem and the Kotel, the Western Wall - the heart of the Jewish people, the axis of our collective national and historical identity, the center of our faith, and the focus of the history of the Jewish people for generations. Throughout Israel and around the world, on the 28th of the Hebrew month of Iyar, we celebrate being reunited with the city of Zion, Yerushalayim Shel Zahav, our only Jerusalem. History shows that it was the Jews who have made Jerusalem important to the world. In 1004 BCE, King David established Jerusalem as the capital of the Kingdom of Israel (2 Samuel 5:6). Following the first exile, he proclaimed: "If I forget you Jerusalem, let my right hand lose its strength. Let my tongue cling to my palate if I fail to recall you, if I fail to elevate Jerusalem above my highest joy." Three times a day, or even just twice a year, for thousands of years, Jews turn their faces towards Jerusalem and the Temple Mount and pray for a return to Jerusalem and to Tzion.

The second part of the collection examines the klezmer "revival" that began in the s. Krakow is not far from Auschwitz and each year, a March of the Living, which takes visitors on a walk from Auschwitz to the nearby Birkenau death camp, draws tens of thousands of participants. Its organizers did not shy from the topic. But, I continued, we don't celebrate the military victory. Some aspects of these Klezmer- feeling Cohen compositions, as rendered, were surely modern in some of the instruments used, but the distinctive Jewish Klezmer feel shines through, and arguably, these numbers by Cohen are the most widely-heard examples of Klezmer music in the modern era due to Cohen's prolific multi-generational appeal and status as a popular poet-songwriter-singer who was very popular on several continents in the Western World from the s until his death in Ornstein, the director of the Jewish Community Center, said that while the festival celebrates the past, he wants to help restore Jewish life to the city today.

  • Israeli Music and Its Study
    Music in Israel at Sixty: Processes and Experiences1 Edwin Seroussi (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) Drawing a panoramic assessment of a field of culture that resists clear categorizations and whose readings offer multiple and utterly contrasting options such as Israeli music is a challenge entailing high intellectual risks. For no matter which way your interpretations lean you will always be suspected of aligning with one ideological agenda or another. Untangling the music, and for that matter any field of modern Israeli culture, is a task bound to oversimplification unless one abandons all aspirations to interpret the whole and just focuses on the more humble mission of selecting a few decisive moments which illuminate trends and processes within that whole. Modest perhaps as an interpretative strategy, by concentrating on discrete time, spatial and discursive units (a concert, a band, an album, an obituary, a music store, an academic conference, etc) this paper attempts to draw some meaningful insights as sixty years of music-making in Israel are marked. The periodic marking of the completion of time cycles, such as decades or centuries, is a way for human beings to domesticate and structure the unstoppable stream of consciousness that we call time.2 If one accepts the premise that the specific timing of any given time cycle is pure convention, one may cynically interpret the unusually lavish celebrations of “Israel at Sixty” as a design of Israeli politicians to focus the public attention both within and outside the country on a positive image of the state 1 This paper was read as the keynote address for the conference Hearing Israel: Music, Culture and History at 60, held at the University of Virginia, April 13-14, 2008.

  • Notes from the Artistic Director
    Notes from the Artistic Director Yehezkel Braun was born in Breslau, Germany in 1922, and was brought to the land of Israel with his parents when he was two years old. Braun recalled that his earliest musical memories were on the one hand the recordings of Italian opera that his father would often play, notably Madame Butterfly and La Bohème, and on the other hand the indigenous singing of Yemenite women who would pass by his home on their way to work. Braun studied composition with Alexander Boscovic, who believed that composers should strive to cultivate an “Israeli” style by consciously incorporating rhythms and melodic motifs borrowed from traditional Jewish chant. Braun was certainly attracted to traditional Jewish melodies; he collected them and used many of them in his compositions. But he also was attracted to Gregorian Chant, in which he immersed himself with several sojourns to the Solemnes Monastery. He studied music at the Tel Aviv Academy, from which he graduated in 1953, and then returned to academia two decades later to study for a bachelor’s degree in Classics at Tel Aviv University. One can hear all these influences in Braun’s music. Braun’s love of vocal melodies is certainly appreciated by anyone who sings his music. Many years ago Braun told me that he doesn’t compose harmonically, rather he composes “horizontally,” conceiving of each voice part as its own melody. And as Jehoash Hirshberg pointed out in a recent article, Braun never thought about composing while he was composing. Braun wrote, “I gave up on two things: on thinking about music and on thinking what to think and how to think, to compose while thinking.

I am the smallest of the youngest of your children And in the slumber of tree and stone And of the last poet. Captured in her dream The city that sits solitary For your name scorches the lips And in its midst is a wall. Like the kiss of an angel If I forget thee, Jerusalem, Jerusalem of gold, and of bronze, and of light Which is all gold… Behold I am a violin for all your songs. Jerusalem of gold, and of bronze, and of light How the cisterns have dried Behold I am a violin for all your songs. The market-place is empty And no one frequents the Temple Mount We have returned to the cisterns In the Old City.
