  • THE HEBREW HAMMER Written by Jonathan
    THE HEBREW HAMMER Written by Jonathan Kesselman Over BLACK, we hear the first few bars of Jingle Bells. The music morphs into an OMINOUS SCORE. With a thunderous BOOM, comes a TITLE CARD reading "HANUKKAH PAST." EXT. PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - DAY We start on JESUS ON A CRUCIFIX, and then violently CRANE down to reveal MORDECHAI (10), a timid little Hasidic boy standing nervously at the foot of the statue. Behind Morty is a wall with the graffiti phrase "HANUKKAH IS 4 HOMOS" scrawled across it. He clutches his Sandy Koufax lunchbox tightly as he looks off into the distance. He's got quite a large bulge in his pants for a child his age. We see a menacing, EXTREMELY WIDE ANGLE shot of the school. Superimposed over the picture are the words, "ST. PETER, PAUL, AND MARY PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL." Mordechai takes a deep breath, and walks towards the school. EXT. SCHOOLYARD - MOMENTS LATER Mordechai walks past a row of bleachers occupied by FOUR GENTILE CHILDREN. GENTILE BOY 1 Hey Mordechai, look. I dropped a penny. He drops a penny. The other children cackle. The Gentile Girl next to him holds up a bag of bagels. GENTILE GIRL 1 Hey Mordechai. Want a bagel? Gentile Boy 1 feigns choking. GENTILE BOY 2 Hey Jew nose, save some oxygen for us. More laughter. Morty attempts to take it all in stride. We PUSH into GENTILE GIRL 2, a severe looking puritanically dressed child as she turns to face the camera. GENTILE GIRL 2 Hey Morty, my mom says that unless your people wise up and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior you're all going to burn in hell.

  • CHRISTMAS MICHELLE NESTOR Christmas Is a Time of Celebration and Remembrance
    Raritan High School’sRARITAN Official Newspaper REVIEW BY: KRISTIN HUNGERFORD AND CHRISTMAS MICHELLE NESTOR Christmas is a time of celebration and remembrance. It is a holiday in which the catholic community praises Jesus’ birth. The Three Wise Men followed the brightest star in the sky, the North Star, to bring them to Jesus’ manger. Once the Wise Men arrived, they presented Jesus with gold, frankincense, and myrrh; which is the reason we receive presents on Christmas day. In the fourth century, St. Nicholas was a was very wealthy and generous bishop. He had a reputation for helping the unfortunate and giving presents to people in need. St. Nicholas, better known as Santa Claus, was created because of him. Originally, Santa Claus was known as Kris Kringle in the United States. In other areas of the world, he began to be referred to as “The Father of Christmas”. The Dutch name for this was “Sinterklaas” and people in the United States translated that as Santa Claus. To get into the Christmas spirit, many people go door to door singing Christmas HANUKKAH Carols. Christmas caroling was a tradition that started in Europe and was passed BY: LAURA TUCKER AND NOELLE ZWEIDINGER down from generation to generation. Legend has it that in the seventh century, a Hanukkah, also spelled Chanukah, is a Jewish holiday that lasts for eight days. The holiday is in monk from Crediton, Devonshire, used a Fir remembrance of a temple that was released from Greek control which was under the region tree for the triangular shape to describe the of Antiochus IV, a descendant of Alexander the great.

    KLIO BH 22 Johannes Christian Bernhardt DIE JÜDISCHE REVOLUTION Johannes Christian Bernhardt Der Seleukide Antiochos IV. griff 168 v. Chr. tief in den Kult von Jerusalem ein. Dagegen formierte sich unter den Hasmonäern eine Erhebung, die zur Wieder- herstellung des Kultes, zur Etablierung der Hasmonäer als Hohepriester und zur Unabhängigkeit Judäas führte. Vor dem Hintergrund weit auseinandergehender DIE JÜDISCHE Forschungspositionen unternimmt diese Studie eine integrative Deutung von Ursachen, Entwicklung und Folgen der hasmonäischen Erhebung, fasst diese im Spannungsfeld von Religion und Politik als historischen Prozess und arbeitet ihre Bedeutung für die diskursive Ausbildung des Judentums heraus.

People from all over the world came to Park City for Sundance 2003 - then days of film viewing, people watching and party going. This was my first time at Sundance, and I was completely overwhelmed with the activity: producers making deals, film enthusiasts waiting in line for three hours just to get on a waiting list for a film, and filmmakers attending workshops to learn more about the independent film industry. Most of all, I was amazed by the buzz created by certain films. I noticed there were some films that were consistently mentioned as must- sees and sure winners.
