2009 Han Vantade.Pdf ©Kim Milrell, 2010 Framställd på www.vulkan.se Ansvarig utgivare: Kim Milrell Han väntade vid Jerusalems portar Kim Milrell Femte bloggboken är här *spridda applåder och uppmuntrande rop*! 2009 var ett okej år. Tänk dig ett diagram: det går upp, upp, upp och så en liten raksträcka. Därefter ner, ner, ner. Och ner. Bilder och annat finns att beskåda på kimmilrell.se. Njut nu! Kim Milrell, Stockholm 1 januari 2010 (det nya årtalet känns lite perverst att skriva). 1 Dagens mail 1 januari Det hela började med ett mail… I promise I won’t sleep with anyone else for twelve months from our first date if we are together… :-) After that you will have to move here and keep an eye on me. :-) I wish I could spend the evening and night with you. Kissing, feeling and touching you. Talking and smoking together. Spending time. Having a walk hand in hand. /superduperhunk, 37, Tel Aviv Svar: Smoking? Människor utvecklas 1 januari Jag hade en väldigt jobbig typ i min högstadieklass. En sån där ondskefull person som naturligtvis var väldigt rasistisk (och gärna delade med sig av sina vanföreställningar). Nu hamnade jag av en slump på hans Facebooksida och noterade att han var medlem i klubbar som “jag lovar att inte tiga när nån säger nåt rasistiskt”. En fin start på 09! 2 Vad är problemet? 2 januari Nu ska vi tala om det där communityt som är det enda stället man kan träffa någon på. Man träffar inte kärleken på ICA (man vill inte riskera att bli misshandlad till döds) och inte via vänner (man känner redan alla deras vänner och bekanta) och sannerligen inte på krogen (de är så upptagna med att inte verka tillgängliga). På det där communityt står det klart och tydligt på min profil: “du är singel”. Då kan man ju hoppas på att de är det, så det är inte det första jag frågar. Sedan framgår det efter flera dagar eller till och med veckor att de redan har en partner men är sugna på lite vuxenmys vid sidan om. Först var det Prag och nu var det en annan och listan är faktiskt väldigt lång. Kan gifta män vääänligen sluta flirta med mig? Snälla. Ensamstående med hund 2 januari Det jobbiga med att vara ensamstående med hund är inte de där grå, regniga kvällarna då man måste gå ut. Nej, det jobbiga med att vara ensamstående med hund är de där dagarna då man ligger däckad och sjuk i soffan. Hunden är jätteglad och jättepigg och vill leka och stoja och man försöker leka lite dragkamp med ena armen men inser snart att man faktiskt inte riktigt klarar det. Hunden blir lite sur och går och lägger sig och man känner sig dålig och dum men tacksam över att hunden kommer glömma det hela till nästa dag, då man förhoppningsvis mår betydligt bättre. Kort inlägg i debatten 2 januari 3 Ja, krig är väldigt tragiskt. Ja, att oskyldiga människor dör är tragiskt. Oöverkomligt tragiskt. Men när Mellanösterns enda demokratis grannars (som uttalat vill utplåna landet från kartan – tänk om ett av våra grannländer hade en president som sa att han ville radera oss alla) barnprogram ser ut som klippet nedan undrar jag ju lite varför all denna flaggbränning äger rum. Jag undrar också om läget någonsin kommer att förändras. Det talas dessutom väldigt lite i svensk media om att Israel förespråkar både fred och en tvåstatslösning. Utan att ge mig in i debatten alltför mycket tycker jag också att det är ganska intressant att människor som i allmänhet verkar väldigt islamfientliga just i detta fall svänger över till andra sidan. Så att säga. Vad jag inte förstod – varför israelerna brer ut sig – fick jag snabbt svar på under mitt besök i landet. Det har så klart med de väldigt religiösa (och oresonliga) att göra (som vanligt). De vill se ett “Stor-Israel”. Jag har en SMS-romans 3 januari Ja, det stämmer. Jag vaknar till meddelanden som: “Det här är galet. Jag har aldrig träffat dig men ändå var du den förste jag tänkte på när jag slog upp ögonen för fem minuter sedan”. Mannen har humor. “Jag ska gå på ett långt möte nu men jag kommer tänka på dig”. En kvart senare: “Tänker”. Kanske är ett SMS-förhållande något att satsa på? Man lär ju slippa en massa vardagsdramatik. Det kan i och för sig bli många missförstånd (speciellt om man inte talar samma språk – vilket naturligtvis är fallet, ni känner ju mig). Man kan göra allt på distans. Man äter middag “tillsammans” och berättar hur gott det smakar. Man somnar och vaknar “tillsammans”. 4 SMS-sex någon? Ja, den här SMS-romansen kanske kan få blomma ut till ett regelrätt SMS-förhållande! SMS-romansen fortsätter 3 januari, 2009 Ja, det gör den sannerligen och spännande är det. Vi hade vårt första gräl idag också. Han ville ringa mig men jag sa att det inte gick för sig då jag satt på jobbet. Han blev lite kort i tonen men ett par timmar senare bad han om ursäkt. Sånt gillar vi. Han tycker att jag är “beautiful”. Jag kan bara säga detsamma. Plus het, stilig, hunkig. Jag sitter ensam i soffan och laddar inför sjunde arbetsdagen och tyvärr piper inte telefonen så ofta ikväll då Superduperhunken (jag vet inte vad jag ska kalla honom här) umgås med sina två barn. Men nej, med tanke på gårdagens inlägg, han är inte gift. Han är frånskild. SMS-romansen utvecklas 3 januari Jahaja. Ikväll övergick SMS-romansen i en telefonromans. Ja, han ringde. Ja, han hade jättefin röst. Ja, han skrattade åt saker jag sa. Ja, han fick det att pirra både här och där. Och nej, jag hörde inte krigsdramat i bakgrunden. Och åh! Efteråt sa han att han tyckte det var så härligt att jag lät “så manlig”. Jajamensan. Jag låter manlig. Jag är manlig. På ett bra, reko sätt så klart. Flunsa och karlar 5 januari 5 Raringar. Nu mår jag lite bättre. Inte bra – men bättre. Enligt min privata prognos kommer jag vara återställd på onsdag eller absolut senast på torsdag. Jag minns inte när jag senast var så här illa däran! Jag är sällan sjuk men när jag väl är det är jag det med råge – och då är det bara att vänta ut eländet och låta kroppen återhämta sig i fred. Jag har mest legat i soffan med två enorma vattenglas till höger och en miljard snytpapper till vänster om mig. Jag har tittat på CNN oavbrutet från morgon till kväll och så har jag så klart MSN:at med SMS-romansen. Nu har han hittat hit så nu måste jag kalla honom något som han inte kommer kunna lista ut att har med honom att göra. Från och med nu heter han Y. Y talar så klart inte svenska men det finns ju program som översätter lite halvbra. Att han googlat på mig är så klart smickrande. Det kan jag inte säga att de senaste romanserna har gjort… Italienaren ringer från landet han lämnade, där han går på en massa katolska festligheter, och trots att vännerna säger att jag borde “skita i” honom så vill jag ju inte lägga alla äggen i samma korg. Det har jag gjort tidigare och det har alltid slutat med att jag stått ensam kvar med tom knarrande korg. Så jag svarar och är trevlig och artig och säger att vi får ses när han är tillbaka. Raringen Dansken är i Danmark och SMS:ar att han är trött på detta “crappiga land” och att han inte tidigare insåg hur “crappiga” landsmännen är. Jag förstår inte riktigt vad han menar så han får förklara sig utförligt när han är tillbaka i Stockholm. Vi ska hänga då. Ungdomliga som vi är (läs: han är och jag försöker vara). Njut dagarna som går ty det är dagarna som går som är livet. 6 Dagens mail 7 januari Tja….söker kåta maskulina träffar .Är bs maskulin 190 91 19,,hårig, vanlig jeanskille. Sambo me tjej,ytterst diskret,,intresserad? /Man, 32, Stockholm Svar: Är du läskunnig? Lite balans i media, tack 8 januari Jag fortsätter skriva om detta trots att ni gamla goda bloggläsare hellre vill läsa om ekivoka detaljer ur mitt privatliv. Jag känner att det är min plikt. Inte minst med tanke på att människor som Lennart Eriksson får sparken då de försöker balansera medias extremt (och pinsamt) ensidiga rapportering. Tänk om länderna i Mellanöstern kunde koncentrera sig på att bygga upp fräsiga, trevliga demokratier (tänk Israel) istället för att lägga ner all sin energi på hat och att förstöra för andra. Observera sista meningen i den här artikeln, som ett exempel. Tänk om media kunde berätta lite mer om de “norska hjälteläkarna” i Gaza. Mads Gilbert är exempelvis inte bara läkare – han har sedan 70-talet varit aktiv i den palestinska solidaritetsrörelsen. Partiet han företräder är ett revolutionärt kommunistiskt parti och herr Gilbert är känd för att ha yttrat dessa ord angående 9/11: Hvis USAs regjering har en legitim rett til å bombe og drepe sivile i Irak, har også de undertrykte en moralsk rett til å angripe USA med de våpen de måtte skape. Døde sivile er det samme enten det er amerikanere, palestinere eller irakere”. På en direkt fråga om han stöttade terrorattackerna mot USA, svarade Gilbert: “Terror er et dårlig våpen, men svaret er ja, innenfor den konteksten jeg har nevnt”. Källa. 7 Varför nämner inte våra kära tidningar detta? Tänk om media slutade vinkla varenda liten artikel på ett sätt som sympatiserar med palestinierna. “Hur ska man orka leva så här?” skriker denna artikel, med underrubriken “bloggare om striderna i Gaza”.

  • Why Stockton Folk Dance Camp Still Produces a Syllabus
    Syllabus of Dance Descriptions STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2018 FINAL In Memoriam Rickey Holden – 1926-2017 Rickey was a square and folk dance teacher, researcher, caller, record producer, and author. Rickey was largely responsible for spreading recreational international folk dancing throughout Europe and Asia. Rickey learned ballroom dance in Austin Texas in 1935 and 1936. He started square and contra dancing in Vermont in 1939. He taught international folk dance all over Europe and Asia, eventually making his home base in Brussels. He worked with Folkraft Records in the early years. He taught at Stockton Folk Dance Camp in the 1940s and 50s, plus an additional appearance in 1992. In addition to dozens of books about square dancing, he also authored books on Israeli, Turkish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Greek, and Macedonian dance. STOCKTON FOLK DANCE CAMP – 2018 FINAL Preface Many of the dance descriptions in the syllabus have been or are being copyrighted. They should not be reproduced in any form without permission. Specific permission of the instructors involved must be secured. Camp is satisfied if a suitable by-line such as “Learned at Folk Dance Camp, University of the Pacific” is included. Loui Tucker served as editor of this syllabus, with valuable assistance from Karen Bennett and Joyce Lissant Uggla. We are indebted to members of the Dance Research Committee of the Folk Dance Federation of California (North and South) for assistance in preparing the Final Syllabus.

    WESTERN WALL ַה ּכֹו ֶתל ַה ַּמ ַעָר ִבי The Western Wall, known as the Kotel, is revered as the holiest site for the Jewish people. A part of the outer retaining wall of the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, it is the place closest to the ancient Holy of Holies, where only the Kohanim— —Jewish priests were allowed access. When Israel gained independence in 1948, Jordan controlled the Western Wall and all of the Old City of Jerusalem; the city was reunified in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Western Wall is considered an Orthodox synagogue by Israeli authorities, with separate prayer spaces for men and women. A mixed egalitarian prayer area operates along a nearby section of the Temple’s retaining wall, raising to the forefront contemporary ideas of religious expression—a prime example of how Israel navigates between past and present. SITES AND INSIGHTS theicenter.org SHUK ׁשוּק Every Israeli city has an open-air market, or shuk, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothing, appliances, and souvenirs. There’s no other place that feels more authentically Israeli than a shuk on Friday afternoon, as seemingly everyone shops for Shabbat. Drawn by the freshness and variety of produce, Israelis and tourists alike flock to the shuk, turning it into a microcosm of the country. Shuks in smaller cities and towns operate just one day per week, while larger markets often play a key role in the city’s cultural life. At night, after the vendors go home, Machaneh Yehuda— —Jerusalem’s shuk, turns into the city’s nightlife hub.

  • 1 Lahiton [email protected]
    Lahiton [email protected] 1 Lahiton magazine was founded in 1969 by two partners, Uri Aloni and David Paz, and was funded by an investment from Avraham Alon, a Ramlah nightclub owner and promoter. Uri Aloni was a pop culture writer and rabid music fan while David Paz, another popular music enthusiast, was an editor who knew his way around the technical side of print production. The name “Lahiton,” reportedly invented by entertainers Rivka Michaeli and Ehud Manor, combines the Hebrew words for hit, “lahit” and newspaper, “iton.” Lahiton [email protected] 2 Uri Aloni cites the British fan magazines Melody Maker and New Music Express as influences; (Eshed 2008) while living in London and writing for the pop music columns of Yediot Ahronot and La-Isha, he would lift editorial content and photos from the latest British pop magazines, write articles, then find an Israel-bound traveler at the London airport to transport the articles into the hands of his editors. In Lahiton’s early days, Aloni and Paz continued this practice (Edut 2014). Eventually, however Lahiton’s flavor became uniquely secular Israeli. Although in 1965 the Beatles were famously denied permission to perform in Israel (Singer 2015), by the time Lahiton got started in 1969 there was no stemming the tide; the international pop music scene had permeated Israel’s insular and conservative culture. At the time there were no other Hebrew publications that covered what was going on both at home and in America and Europe. Lahiton began as a bimonthly publication, but within the first year, when press runs of 5000 copies sold out on a regular basis, Paz and Aloni turned it into a weekly.

POWER OF MUSIC V The past month in Jewish history and in our calendar has been momentous. We experienced Israel’s 70th anniversary, celebrated in several excellent events in our community, the 51st anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, and the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In the midst of all this euphoria, what might have escaped your attention is Israel’s winning the prestigious Eurovision song contest on May 12th 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal. That night in our Jewish calendar - the 28th of Iyar, commemorates the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six Day War of 1967. This is the fourth time Israel has won Eurovision, one of the world’s most famous international song contests. The winning song “Toy”, a pop anthem about female independence, was performed by 25 year old Netta Barzilai, accompanied by her signature “chicken dance.” Netta had placed third by the official judges, but won thanks to tele-voters from around the world catapulting her to victory. Hours before the victory, Israeli superstar film actress Gal Gadot had urged her twenty million Instagram followers to vote for Israel’s entry. Including words like “I’m not your toy you stupid boy...,” it was influenced by the #MeToo movement. The Eurovision contest has often been embroiled in political and religious controversies, although politically tinged songs are unofficially disallowed.
