  • Italian Jewish Subjectivities and the Jewish Museum of Rome
    What is an Italian Jew? Italian Jewish Subjectivities and the Jewish Museum of Rome 1. Introduction The Roman Jewish ghetto is no more. Standing in its place is the Tempio Maggiore, or Great Synagogue, a monumental testament to the emancipation of Roman and Italian Jewry in the late nineteenth century. During that era, the Roman Jewish community, along with city planners, raised most of the old ghetto environs to make way for a less crowded, more hygienic, and overtly modern Jewish quarter.1 Today only one piece of the ghetto wall remains, and the Comunità Ebraica di Roma has dwindled to approximately 15,000 Jews. The ghetto area is home to shops and restaurants that serve a diverse tourist clientele. The Museo Ebraico di Roma, housed, along with the Spanish synagogue, in the basement floor of the Great Synagogue, showcases, with artifacts and art, the long history of Roman Jewry. While visiting, one also notices the video cameras, heavier police presence, and use of security protocol at sites, all of which suggest very real threats to the community and its public spaces. This essay explores how Rome's Jewish Museum and synagogues complex represent Italian Jewish identity. It uses the complex and its guidebook to investigate how the museum displays multiple, complex, and even contradictory subject-effects. These effects are complicated by the non- homogeneity of the audience the museum seeks to address, an audience that includes both Jews and non-Jews. What can this space and its history tell us about how this particular “contact zone” seeks to actualize subjects? How can attention to these matters stimulate a richer, more complex understanding of Italian Jewish subjectivities and their histories? We will ultimately suggest that, as a result of history, the museum is on some level “caught” between a series of contradictions, wanting on the one hand to demonstrate the Comunità Ebraica di Roma’s twentieth-century commitment to Zionism and on the other to be true to the historical legacy of its millennial-long diasporic origins.

  • Next Year in Jerusalem: a Brief History of Hope
    Next Year in Jerusalem: A Brief History of Hope La Haggadah de la cinquième Coupe (The Haggadah of the 5th Cup). Illustrated by Raymond Moretti (1931-2005) Shabbat Hagadol 5774 The Jewish Center Rabbi Yosie Levine 1 1 The Times of London, Aug. 17, 1840, page 3 2 I Questions/Tensions On Monday, August 17, 1840, The Times of London on page 3 printed a virtually complete English translation of the text of the Haggadah. Needless to say, no newspaper on record had ever done such a thing before. The headline read: “Celebration of the Passover by the Jews” and it was prefaced by the following line: “A correspondent has furnished the annexed very minute account of this ceremony, which will be exceedingly curious in itself to most of our readers, and has at the same time an evident bearing on the Damascus case.” Just what was the Damascus case? Why had it caught the attention of an English newspaper? And what was the Haggadah doing on page three four months after Pesach? We’ll circle back to this puzzle in a few moments, but let me add three other historical questions to the mix. The Seder is defined by fours so let’s jump on that bandwagon and proceed according to the same structure. Let me start with a question that has to do with hospitality. We all know the story of the five sages in the Haggadah who spent the entire night in Bnei Brak engrossed in the story of the Exodus. R’ Akiva was the rabbinic authority of that city.

INTRODUCTION he Twin Towers, an architectural symbol of Western Tpower, came crashing down on a beautiful and hopelessly tragic September morning. The incredible scale of the attack left us horrified, bewildered, and wounded as a nation. With ghastly images in our memory, the U.S. turned towards the bleak prospect of fighting an elusive enemy. Like any true eco- nomic and military superpower, our response was strong and immediate. But was our response efficient, and most impor- tantly, are we safer now than before? In an interview granted shortly after September 11, 2001, James Wolfhenson, the president of the World Bank, described the collapse of the Twin Towers as not only a terrorist attack of the grandest scale, but also as the image “of the South landing hard on the cradle of the North.”1 This statement is insightful because it is powerfully descriptive and suggests that a collec- tive response is needed to address the issue.

  • On Newspapers in Italy at Present, Most Italian Daily Newspapers with National Circulation Are Run by Men. Nevertheless, We
    On newspapers in Italy At present, most Italian daily newspapers with national circulation are run by men. Nevertheless, we can highlight the appointment, in 2019, of Ms Agnese Pini as editor-in-chief of the newspaper 'La Nazione', being the first woman to hold this position in the 160 years of the life of the Florentine newspaper1. Previously, we can point out the naming, in 2010, of Ms Norma Rangeri as editor-in-chief of the left- wing Roman newspaper "Il Manifesto". Other examples in the past, at a lower geographic level, include Ms Pierangela Fiorani as editor-in- chief of Provincia Pavese (daily newspaper of Pavia) from 2006 to 2014 and from 2014 to 2016 of the four Venetian daily newspapers of Gruppo Espresso (now GEDI Gruppo Editoriale)2, as well as Ms Lucia Serino, appointed editor-in-chief of "Il Quotidiano della Basilicata" for 4 years between 2011 and 2015, or Ms Anna Mossutto, who held the same position in “Corriere dell'Umbria” for 10 years after being nominated in 2009. Historically, it is worth mentioning the case of Mrs Matilde Serao, the first Italian woman to found and run a newspaper, “Il Corriere di Roma”, in 1885, an experience she repeated with other newspapers in the following years. The genders of the chief editors among the seven largest Italian newspapers by circulation3 are shown in Table 1 below4: TABLE 1 Average circulation5 Political Publishing Gender editor-in-chief Newspaper (April 2020) alignment group (name) (ADS) Corriere della RCS 256,564 Liberalism Male (Luciano Fontana) Sera MediaGroup GEDI La Repubblica 201,645 Centre-Left Gruppo Male (Maurizio Molinari) Editoriale GEDI Liberalism, La Stampa 150,387 Gruppo Male (Massimo Giannini) centrism Editoriale Poligrafici QN – Il Resto Editoriale 105,397 Conservatism Male (Michele Brambilla) del Carlino (Monrif Group) 1This has been published in newspapers such as “La Repubblica”: “Agnese Pini new editor of ‘La Nazione’ https://firenze.repubblica.it/cronaca/2019/07/30/news/agnese_pini_direttore_la_nazione-232396718/ [Date consulted: July 6th, 2020].

  • WASH YOUR HANDS by Alain Elkann 17 April 2020 It Was a Frenetic
    WASH YOUR HANDS by Alain Elkann 17 April 2020 It was a frenetic morning full of telephone calls, catching up with people here and there. When would things open? When would the government send out stimulus payments? You woke up in the morning in one frame of mind but then there was so much uncertainty. Carmen Llera Moravia called, saying she was constantly on the go. She was out and about on the streets of Rome wearing an ever changing array of masks. She told him she’d sold the house in Sabaudia, the one designed by Dante Ferretti that Moravia had shared with Pasolini. She sold it because the caretakers were getting old and she never went there anyway. “You always go to Paris, don’t you?” she asked. “I used to go, but now how could I go anywhere?” “Do you have a house in Paris?” “No. You know I hate having property. I stay at the Hôtel des Saints Pères.” As Carmen spoke, he began to feel nostalgic for his Paris, the Paris of Saint Germain, Café de Flore, Brasserie Lipp, Rue de Grenelle, Rue de Varenne, Rue du Bac, the Hôtel de Saint-Simon, the Chinese restaurant on Boulevard Saint- Germain, the Gallimard bookshop, Boulevard Raspail, the street that led down to Quai Voltaire and those few streets that had been his little village since he was twenty years old. Including Rue de Seine, Rue Jacob, Rue de l’Université, Place Saint-Sulpice, and Rue de Turnon. His mind flashed back to those places, those hotels, those homes, the Luxembourg Gardens.
