This year we mark 70 TUESDAYS, APRIL 10 & 24 years since the birth of the State of Israel in 7:00-8:00 P.M. 1948. As we celebrate this anniversary, I have been thinking about two words – hope EVERYONE IS WELCOME and dreams. These two words have played an important role in the centrality of the Jewish faith for 2000 years as we have hoped for and dreamed of the restoration of our ancient RABBI’S LUNCH & LEARN homeland. The centrality of these two words can be seen in the will resume on wording of the two poems/songs that were under consideration by the World Zionist Congress for the Israeli national anthem – Tuesday, May 1 Psalm 126 and Hatikvah. Noon to 1:30 p.m. Psalm 126 reads in English translation: “A song of ascents. When the LORD restores the fortunes of Zion - we will be like $12 per person dreamers - our mouths shall be filled with laughter, our tongues, RSVP to the office with songs of joy. Then shall they say among the nations, ‘The LORD has done great things for them!’ The LORD will do great things for us and we shall rejoice. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like watercourses in the Negev. They who sow in tears ISRAEL AT 70 – A SNAPSHOT shall reap with songs of joy. Though he goes along weeping, carrying the seed-bag, he shall come back with songs of joy, Israel is rapidly approaching the tipping point where the carrying his sheaves.” majority of the world’s Jews Hativkah reads in English translation: “So long as still within our will be living in the Jewish breasts, The Jewish heart beats true; So long as still towards the state. Last year the Central East; To Zion, looks the Jew; So long our hopes are not yet Bureau of Statistics lost. Two thousand years we cherished them. To live in freedom announced that Israel has in the land; Of Zion and Jerusalem.” Hatikva, has been attributed 8.68 million citizens, 10 to Naftali Herz Imber, written in 1878 and published in 1886. The times more Jews than at its poem was first published under the title of “Tikvatenu (Our founding. Hope)” in Imber's journal Barkai and had nine stanzas.

The remaining 5.5%, called Tikvatenu). It wasn't until 1905 that the entire Hatikva was approximately 388,000 people, represent non-Arab sung by all the delegates present at the Seventh Zionist Christians and people of other religions, as well as Congress, making Hatikva the (unofficial) Zionist anthem. When those with no religious affiliation, the vast majority of Hatikva the State of Israel was established in 1948, was again them from the former Soviet Union. unofficially proclaimed the national anthem. Psalm 126 was also considered as a possible anthem, set to the music of Cantor The report cited that at the founding of the state in Yossele Rosenblatt.

How would I choose from such a large body of great works? Since these were to be jazz interpretations of movie themes, I wanted them to be conducive to perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of jazz - improvisation. While this narrowed the choice, there was still a very large number of pieces that fit the bill. Of the remaining songs, many were very familiar. Some were too familiar, perhaps, as they had been performed myriad times by jazz artists. I felt like they didn 't need another rendering . Some of the songs we will play for you tonight may be familiar to you, and others may not. I hope we can introduce you to a few gems you may not have heard before. My selection reflects a personal bias toward older film music , especially of the 1960s and '70s. These songs speak to me, both as a musician and as a person. I hope they speak to you, as well. ~ Tom Artwick Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) Music & Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse & Anthony Newley Sung in film by Gene Wilder Alfie from Alfie (1966) Music by Burt Bacharach Lyrics by Hal David Originally recorded by Ci/la Black prior to the movie release, it was sung by Cher over the closing credits.

  • Hatikva By: Rabbi Jeremy Rosen
    Hatikva by: Rabbi Jeremy Rosen For as long as deep in the innermost heart A Jewish soul stirs It is towards the East and to Zion that the eye longingly looks. We have not yet lost our hope The hope of two thousand years To be a free nation in our land In the Land of Zion and Jerusalem. These are the English words of the Hatikvah (blame me for the translation). Originally a poem by Naftali Herz Imber published in 1886 and set to music by one Samuel Cohen (a bowdlerized version of Smetana’s Moldau), it became the official song of the Zionist movement in 1897 and, after several modifications, the National Anthem of the State of Israel. At this time of the year it is sung with added gusto as Israel celebrates its 59th birthday, another milestone in its fraught, insecure, yet miraculous, history. The Hatikvah is now de rigueur at most Jewish events, communal or personal. In England we have toasts at banquets at which some pompous toastmaster dressed in red hunting jacket with a gilded chain of counterfeit honor around his neck, bangs with his gavel and proclaims, “My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen.” Or a press-ganged relative of the bride or bar mitzvah asks us to be “upstanding” (Upstanding? Upended? Uptight? Where do they get these mock ceremonial archaisms from, I wonder–perhaps the Masons or even the Knights of the Round Table?) to drink the “Loyal Toast” to the health of the Queen (and some rheumy eyed veterans add, “God Bless Her”). We raise our glasses and either drink or wait for the band to finish its perfunctory rendition of the English National Anthem.

  • “Hatikvah:” One of the Greatest Anthems Ever Written
    “Hatikvah:” One of the Greatest Anthems Ever Written As we approach Israel at 70, it is appropriate to consider the country’s national anthem, “Hatikvah,” a famous piece of music that was not officially adopted as the country’s anthem until 2004. There are other surprises connected to this piece. Most notably, the music is not original, and the words were penned, more than 130 years before they became the anthem, by a troubled poet who died in utter poverty in New York City in 1909. The melody of “Hatikvah” comes from no one source. Samuel Cohen (1870-1940), a Zionist who emigrated to Palestine in 1888, had read Naftali Herz Imber’s poem, “Tikvatenu,” and was inspired to set the words to music. He did not compose an original melody, however, noting, as translated by the music scholar Edwin Seroussi, “In my home country [in northwest Rumania today], we used to sing in the choir the Rumanian song ‘Hâis, cea!’ (‘Right, Left!’ which was the refrain of a song entitled ‘Carul cu Boi’).” Indeed, the melody of “Hatikvah” was inspired by Eastern European folk music. Its pattern is familiar to singers and scholars, and finds its way into many European songs and instrumental music. In sum, it is an old melody that originated somewhere in Europe and made its way to Palestine. That is the dynamic and destiny of many melodies: they travel. The music for America’s anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” for example, has its origins in a British drinking song. Although we can’t source the melody, we certainly know who wrote the words.

  • AMERICAN JEWS and the FLAG of ISRAEL Jonathan D
    AMERICAN JEWS AND THE FLAG OF ISRAEL Jonathan D. Sarna University Professor Joseph H. and Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History Chair, Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program Brandeis University AMERICAN JEWS AND THE FLAG OF ISRAEL Jonathan D. Sarna University Professor Joseph H. and Belle R. Braun Professor of American Jewish History Chair, Hornstein Jewish Professional Leadership Program Brandeis University Boston in the 1890s A community of about 35,000 Jews 170 Hanover Street Address of Zion Hall in Boston’s North End Governor Charlie Baker’s trade mission to Israel, in which Brandeis University President Ron Liebowitz and so many other business and civic leaders are participating, is devoted to strengthening the ties between Massachusetts and the State of Israel. My goal here is to demonstrate that these ties stretch back much farther than generally known. Indeed, they actually precede the first Zionist Congress of 1897, and they embrace not only eco- nomic and ideological ties but even the flag of the State of Israel, which, as we shall see, has significant — if not widely known — connections to Boston and the United States. The Boston Jewish community was small in 1890, but already it was robustly Zionist. A total of about 35,000 Jews lived in the city, the majority of whom were recent immi- grants from Lithuania, where, in Jewish circles, love of Zion was commonplace. In Boston, Zionism faced fewer obstacles than in many other American cities. Boston’s large Irish population loved Ireland, so there was understanding and sympathy for Jews who loved Zion.
