Jewish Faith and Doubt on Screen (6/1/16; 10/26-30/16) Discussion published by Cynthia Miller on Friday, March 18, 2016 CALL FOR PAPERS CFP: Thou Shalt Make Cinematic Images! Jewish Faith and Doubt on Screen An area of multiple panels for the 2016 Film & History Conference: Gods and Heretics: Figures of Power and Subversion in Film and Television October 26-October 30, 2016 The Milwaukee Hilton Milwaukee, WI (USA) DEADLINE for abstracts: June 1, 2016 AREA: Thou Shalt Make Cinematic Images! Jewish Faith and Doubt on Screen Despite Judaism’s commandment against making graven images of God, films representing Jewish faith in God—or doubt in the face of collective and personal catastrophes and competing worldviews—have abounded from the advent of the movie industry. Since God cannot be visualized, movies must rely on depictions of an omnipotent historical and moral force, or a source of belief compelling Jews to endure martyrdom, persecution, and segregation, and to observe Jewish law and rituals. Motion pictures about how God informs modern Jewish lives have become more varied with the emergence of Jewish denominationalism and secular ideologies, like socialism or Zionism, often pitting factions within the Jewish community against each other. This area welcomes papers and panels that explore how Jewish belief and disbelief in God are constructed by filmmakers in documentaries and feature movies. The following themes are suggestions and should not be construed as the only topics that would fit in this area: The portrayal of Judaism in documentaries: Heritage: Civilization and the Jews (1984), A Life Apart (1997), and The Story of the Jews (2013). Biblical epics: Abraham (1993), Solomon and Sheba (1959), David (1997), The Story of Ruth (1960), The Ten Commandments (1923, 1956), The Prince of Egypt (1998), and Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014). Historical films about the pre-modern Jewish experience:Masada (1981), The Disputation (1986), The Wandering Jew (1933), The Holy Inquisition (1974), The Jew (1996), Secret Passage (2004), and The Physician (2013).

Different expressions of Jewish faith: The Jazz Singer (1927), The Cantor’s Son (1937), The Chosen (1981), Pi (1998), Keeping the Faith (2001), Ushpizin (1994), Bee Season (2005), My Father My Lord (2007) God, Gender, and Sexual Orientation: Yentl (1983), Torch Song Trilogy (1988), A Price Above Rubies (1998), Kadosh (1999), Trembling Before God (2001), The Secrets (2007), Eyes Wide Open (2009), Fill the Void (2012), and Felix and Meira (2014).

  • CHELM in JERUSALEM by R. Seliger
    CHELM IN JERUSALEM By R. Seliger It’s Sukkot, the holiday that requires observant Jews to feel the fragility of our existence by eating in the sukkah – the fragile temporary outdoor booth, exposed to the elements of early fall. I wrote this film review two years ago. If you have the opportunity, you should consider the delights of this unusual film. “Ushpizin” resembles an Isaac Bashevis Singer tale in its rendering of totally sincere (or naive) characters immersed in religious observances, a belief in miracles, and a personal relationship with the Almighty. The world of Jerusalem’s Hasidim is largely a ghetto in its isolation from the rest of modern Israel, but not quite. Two convicts, evading the law, show up at the doorstep of our hero, Moshe Bellanga, and his good wife Malli, on erev Sukkot. It turns out that one criminal was a friend from Moshe’s wayward days in Eilat before he became a Baal Tshuva [a newly observant Jew] as a Breslover Hasid. The Bellangas are overjoyed that the two can be their ushpizin – Aramaic for “holy guests” – for the holiday, as traditional lore enjoins. But there is nothing holy in how their low-life guests behave. That the virtually destitute Bellangas have a sukkah and the money to celebrate the festival at all are “miracles.” Actually, they are the result of perfectly explainable events, but the pious couple understands their dramatic change of fortune as divine intervention, as an answer to their devotion and a part of their ongoing dialogue with Hashem. Similarly, when bad fortune strikes, they are rendered bereft not only by the event itself, but also by the notion that they have done something displeasing in the eyes of God or, even more painfully, that their suffering has meaning they cannot fathom in the sacred scheme of things.

    CONGREGATION NEVEH SHALOM March 2008/ADAR I/Adadr II 5768 CHRONICLE No. 6 This newsletter is supportedpp by y the Sala Kryszek y Memorial Publication Fund From the Pulpit Esther: The Paradigm of the Diaspora Jewish Existence If we accept the Exodus epic as our Jewish master story, then the drama contained in the scroll of Esther constitutes the paradigmatic story of Jewish existence in the Diaspora. A master story of an ethnic, religious or national entity is the central historical event or series of events that informs that society about its guiding values and principles. Clearly the Exodus from Egyptian bondage followed by the receipt of God’s revelation and wandering 40 years in the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land serves that primary purpose for Jews. God heard the cry of the oppressed and chose Moses as God’s instrument in challenging Pharaoh to liberate God’s own people. Once free, the Children of Israel came to Mt. Sinai where God gave them laws to live by in order to establish a moral society. Together they persevered until they were worthy of inheriting the land that God promised them as an everlasting inheritance. However instructive our master story is in defi ning our most highly treasured values, nearly 2000 years of our history were spent far from our ancestral home in lands of the Jewish Diaspora. We lived in foreign lands as a subject minority population. We did our best to simultaneously be loyal residents (because not until the French Revolution and the American experience were we considered full citizens) and maintain our distinct identity as Jews.

  • Tanya Sources.Pdf
    The Way to the Tree of Life Jewish practice entails fulfilling many laws. Our diet is limited, our days to work are defined, and every aspect of life has governing directives. Is observance of all the laws easy? Is a perfectly righteous life close to our heart and near to our limbs? A righteous life seems to be an impossible goal! However, in the Torah, our great teacher Moshe, Moses, declared that perfect fulfillment of all religious law is very near and easy for each of us. Every word of the Torah rings true in every generation. Lesson one explores how the Tanya resolved these questions. It will shine a light on the infinite strength that is latent in each Jewish soul. When that unending holy desire emerges, observance becomes easy. Lesson One: The Infinite Strength of the Jewish Soul The title page of the Tanya states: A Collection of Teachings ספר PART ONE לקוטי אמרים חלק ראשון Titled הנקרא בשם The Book of the Beinonim ספר של בינונים Compiled from sacred books and Heavenly מלוקט מפי ספרים ומפי סופרים קדושי עליון נ״ע teachers, whose souls are in paradise; based מיוסד על פסוק כי קרוב אליך הדבר מאד בפיך ובלבבך לעשותו upon the verse, “For this matter is very near to לבאר היטב איך הוא קרוב מאד בדרך ארוכה וקצרה ”;you, it is in your mouth and heart to fulfill it בעזה״י and explaining clearly how, in both a long and short way, it is exceedingly near, with the aid of the Holy One, blessed be He. "1 of "393 The Way to the Tree of Life From the outset of his work therefore Rav Shneur Zalman made plain that the Tanya is a guide for those he called “beinonim.” Beinonim, derived from the Hebrew bein, which means “between,” are individuals who are in the middle, neither paragons of virtue, tzadikim, nor sinners, rishoim.

    ב''ה SERMON RESOURCE FOR SHLUCHIM DISTRIBUTION DATE: THURSDAY , AUGUST 24 2017 – 2 ELUL 5777 PARSHAS SHOFTIM SERMON TITLE: Staying True to Life’s Mission Shoftim Staying True to Life’s Mission Good Shabbos! In 2016, the famous Jewish actor Gene Wilder passed away. He was a well-known comic who starred in many films. One of Gene Wilder’s biggest hits was a late-70s production called The Frisco Kid. It’s the silly story of the village shlepper in a Polish shtetl in 1850 getting sent to S. Francisco, California to serve as the rabbi of the city’s Jewish community only because he spoke English. In the movie, the president of Frisco’s Jewish community mails a written request to the Chief Rabbi of Poland, asking for a rabbi—and pledging that the candidate sent will be given his daughter as a wife. So Avraham Belinsky, travels by ship to Philadelphia, where he tries to find transportation to S. Francisco. Nobody in Poland told him that he’d have to cross an entire continent! On the contrary—back in his home country, he was told that S. Francisco was “right next to New York.” So Mr. Belinsky, as a religious Jew played masterfully and authentically by Mr. Wilder, is also travelling with a small sefer Torah, a Torah scroll, which is intended for the S. Francisco congregation’s synagogue. He’s a sweet, innocent and trusting guy—not to mention a bit of a shlemiel. So early on in the film, he gets scammed by highway robbers whose false tale of desperation fools him into parting with his money.
