  • When Mizrahi Artists Said ‘No’ to Israel’S Pioneer Culture
    Riches To Rags To Virtual Riches: When Mizrahi Artists Said ‘No’ To Israel’s Pioneer Culture Shoshana Gabay. Ills. Joseph Sassoon Semah Upon their arrival in Israel, Mizrahi Jews found themselves under a regime that demanded obedience, even in cultural matters. All were required to conform to an idealized pioneer figure who sang classical, militaristic ‘Hebrew’ songs. That is, before the ‘Kasetot’ era propelled Mizrahi artists into the spotlight, paving the way for today’s musical stars. Part two of a musical journey beginning in Israel’s Mizrahi neighborhoods of the 1950s and leading up to Palestinian singer Mohammed Assaf. Read part one here. Our early encounter with Zionist music takes place in kindergarten, then later in schools and the youth movements, usually with an accordionist in tow playing songs worn and weathered by the dry desert winds. Music teachers at school never bothered with classical music, neither Western nor Arabian, and traditional Ashkenazi liturgies – let alone Sephardic – were not even taken into account. The early pioneer music was hard to stomach, and not only because it didn’t belong to our generation and wasn’t part of our heritage. More specifically, we were gagging on something shoved obsessively down our throat by political authority. Our “founding fathers” and their children never spared us any candid detail regarding the bodily reaction they experience when hearing the music brought here by our fathers, and the music we created here. But not much was said regarding the thoughts and feelings of Mizrahi immigrants (nor about their children who were born into it) who came here and heard what passed as Israeli music, nor about their children who were born into it.

    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.

  • The Story of Israel at 66 Through the Songs of Arik Einstein
    1 The Soundtrack of Israel: The Story of Israel at 66 through the songs of Arik Einstein Israel turns sixty six this year and a so much has happened in this seemingly short lifetime. Every war, every peace treaty, every struggle, and every accomplishment has left its impact on the ever changing character of the Jewish State. But throughout all of these ups and downs, all of the conflicts and all of the progress, there has been one voice that has consistently spoken for the Jewish nation, one voice that has represented Israelis for all 66 years and will continue to represent a people far into the future. That is the voice of Arik Einstein. Einstein’s music, referred to by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the “soundtrack of Israel,” transcended generations. Einstein often took the words of high-brow Israeli poets such as Chaim Nachman Bialik, Rahel, Nathan Alterman and Avraham Halfi and turned them into rock anthems sung by vibrant Israeli youth. Einstein captured the heart and soul of Israelis old and young. For every Zionist, peacenik, settler, hopeless romantic, nostalgia aficionado and child (or child at heart) in Israel, there is at least one Arik Einstein song that speaks to them. For every historic Israeli moment, there is an Arik Einstein song that represents the emotion of a united nation, or a shuttered people. Although fairly unknown outside of Israel, Arik Einstein was loved by all, and mourned by all after his sudden death in November of 2013, when tens of thousands of Israelis joined together to pay their respects to the iconic Sabra at a memorial service in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv.

  • 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.

  • Eddie Izzard's Bible…
    THE BIBLE & CRITICAL THEORY ARTICLES “And Sons Shall Return to Their Borders” The Neo-Zionist (Re)turns of Rachel’s Sons Yosefa Raz, Hebrew University A Multivalent Figure In the tense weeks between June 12th and June 30th, 2014, the Israeli media and public frequently alluded to a biblical verse in relation to three Jewish teenagers who were abducted from a hitchhiking stop near their homes in Jewish settlements in the West Bank. As their destiny hung in the balance, (at least according to public perception)1 they were imagined as Rachel’s sons, whom the Jeremianic oracle promises will be returned from enemy land (Jer 31: 15-17). The short phrase “and sons2 shall return to their own borders” (31:17) became a common way to refer to the kidnapped teenagers—from YouTube clips, to Twitter hashtags, to mass prayer vigils at the Western Wall and throughout the country, to the IDF operation to search for the teenagers, which was code named “Operation Return Sons.”3 The prophetic oracle, though, in this case, failed to come true. By the time the media had announced the death of the teenagers at the end of June, the Israeli public had been whipped into a frenzy of grief and rage; a day after the funerals of Naftali Fraenkel, Gilad Shaer, and Eyal Yifrach, Muhammad Abu Khdeir was abducted from outside his home in East Jerusalem and burnt alive by a group of Jewish terrorists, rumored to be associated with La Familia, extreme-right fans of the Beitar Jerusalem soccer team (Tharoor 2014).

  • The Synagogue and Prayer Service
    SYNAGOGUE SKILLS: HANDS ON AND BEYOND THE SYNAGOGUE AND PRAYER SERVICE Torah lays out religion based on one Temple located in Jerusalem and a system of daily, weekly, monthly communal sacrifices as well as personal offerings. Even in the earliest times, there was tension between a religion that could only be practiced in one place and Jews living far away. Some tried to build lesser temples but by the time of King Josiah of Judah in the seventh century BCE, the exclusivity of the Temple is firmly established. A new institution began to arise. There were places where it was clearly understood that no sacrifices could or would be offered. No one knows for certain when the synagogue and its alternate form of practice began. One plausible suggestion ties it to the Babylonian exile when the Temple had been destroyed. We have archeological and literary evidence for synagogues as early as the third century BCE in the diaspora and the first century BCE in Israel. The earliest descriptions of synagogues suggest that they were places of study and where knowledge of the Torah was disseminated. An inscription on the floor of a first-century synagogue in Jerusalem describes itself as a place “for reading the law and studying the commandments, and as a hostel with chambers and water installations to provide for the needs of travelers from abroad.” According to Reuven Hammer, “Even at the beginning, the synagogue was a revolutionary institution.” It: Provided for communal worship divorced from sacrifice Could be anywhere; did not have to be in a special or sacred spot.

    2 Excerpts from A Year with the Sages: Wisdom on the Weekly Torah Portion By Rabbi Reuven Hammer Media inquiries: Suzanne Selengut, [email protected] Book orders: https://jps.org/books/a-year-with-the-sages/ 1. Excerpt #1: Fear of Killing or Being Killed (from Va-yishlaḥ - Jacob’s Dilemma - Genesis 32:4-36:43) 2. Excerpt #2: (for Yom ha-Atzmaut) - Land of Milk and Honey (from Yom ha- Atzmaut, Deuteronomy 26:1-12) Fear of Killing or Being Killed By Rabbi Reuven Hammer “Jacob was greatly frightened and troubled…” – Rabbi Judah b’reb Elai said, “Are not ‘frightened’ and ‘troubled’ the same thing? Rather it means: he ‘was greatly frightened’ that he might kill and ‘troubled’ that he might be killed. [Jacob] thought, “If he overpowers me he will kill me and if I overpower him, I will kill him!” Therefore he “was greatly frightened” that he might kill and “troubled” that he might be killed. - Genesis Rabbah 76:1-2 The verse stating that Jacob was afraid seems to have bothered the Sages. First of all they wondered why he should have been afraid when he had God’s assurance that God would protect him. In fact, he had been so awestruck by his vision of the stairway to heaven that he had proclaimed he was in the very abode of God and in the gateway to heaven. And he had indeed come safely through all the events in Laban’s house, difficult as they may have been. The Sages noticed that Moses also had been afraid.
