Moses requests that the Israelite slaves With Shalom, be given a spiritual recess - a brief “holiday” - so they can become reacquainted with their heritage and their G-d. Pharaoh, having already suffered through seven plagues, indicates that he is ready for compromise: “Go!” He says, “…Go and worship this G-d of Rabbi Alvin Wainhaus yours!” But no sooner has he uttered those words, then he begins to backpedal, as he has done many times before: “Wait!

The first service I ever took part in at Congregation Or Please order by Shalom was the one I led at my audition 34 years ago. It was at that initial encounter with our congregation September 18 that I noticed something quite uplifting; indeed, it was something that moved me to accept the Synagogue’s offer that I serve as its spiritual leader: I saw a congre- gation that sought inclusiveness. Judaism, at its core, is an inherently inclusive religion. I believe that Judaism’s quintessential message, since the day we left slavery, has been: “The way the world is not the way it must remain; the world can be changed from the way it is to the way it was meant to Join us as we celebrate Simchat Torah!!! be”. It is no accident, therefore, that Jews have been in October 5, 7:00 pm the forefront of every movement for social inclusive- ness in this country - equal rights for blacks, women, the disabled, gays and many more.

  • American Standup Comedy by Women and the Discourse of Cultural Negotiation in American Life
    Review of Women’s Studies 21 (1): 74-89 AMERICAN STANDUP COMEDY BY WOMEN AND THE DISCOURSE OF CULTURAL NEGOTIATION IN AMERICAN LIFE Maria Rhodora G. Ancheta Abstract This paper tracks the development of stand-up comedy in American popular culture, and examines the potency of female humor in the textualized routines of Ellen Degeneres and Judy Tenuta, two American female stand-up comics. The paper posits that in Degeneres and in Tenuta, we see two examples of late 20th century contemporary humor by women in the United States, and in examining the forms this humor takes, stand-up comedy, in this case, and the strategies it uses, moments of identification and connection are isolated, permitting the American female comic to create liberative spaces to reveal potent and latent values in current American society. It is ironic that in a country like the Philippines that prides itself on its possession of a sense of humor, very little study has been done of the functions that this humor is used for, or at the very least, the forms that this humor takes. I shall address this point with more detail later in my paper, but I begin here by stating that this paper is an exploration of stand-up comedy by female comics in the United States, an examination spurred by the adoption and adaptation of this popular cultural form in many Philippine clubs, vide the mushrooming of “comedy bars,” of stand-up comedy routine competitions a la “Last Man Standing,” sponsored by both local media or by university and college organizations, mostly on an amateur level.
