It is located near the southern area of the Jordan valley. The salt-rich Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth's surface, being 400 meters below sea level. The air around the Dead Sea is unpolluted, dry, and pollen-free with low humidity, providing a naturally relaxing environment. The air in the region has a high mineral content due to the constant evaporation of the mineral rich water. 3. The Dead Sea comes in the list of the world's greatest landmarks, and is sometimes considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. People usually miss out on this as they do not realize the importance of its unique contents. The Dead Sea has twenty-one minerals which have been found to give nourishment to the skin, stimulate the circulatory system, give a relaxed feeling, and treat disorders of the metabolism and rheumatism and associate pains. The Dead Sea mud has been used by people all over the world for beauty purposes.

Ever since I was a little boy I have been a fan, and some might even say that I became somewhat obsessed, for which I cannot really blame them. Moreover, I have always had a special interest in mixed language songs, so linking the two subjects seemed only natural. Thanks to a rather unfortunate turn of events, this thesis took a lot longer to write than was initially planned, but nevertheless, here it is. Special thanks are in order for my supervisor, Tony Foster, who has helped me in many ways during this time. I would also like to thank a number of other people for various reasons. The second reader Lettie Dorst. My mother, for being the reason I got involved with the Eurovision Song Contest. My father, for putting up with my seemingly endless collection of Eurovision MP3s in the car.

  • Guida Junior Eurovision 2016
    JUNIOR EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: LA FESTA EUROPEA DELLA MUSICA, A MISURA DI BAMBINO Cos’è lo Junior Eurovision Song Contest? E’ la versione “junior” dell’Eurovision Song Contest, ovvero il più grande concorso musicale d’Europa ed è organizzato, come il festival degli adulti dalla EBU, European Broadcasting Union, l’ente che riunisce le tv e radio pubbliche d’Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Lo Junior Eurovision si rivolge ai bambini e ragazzi dai 9 ai 14 anni (età abbassata da questa edizione, fino al 2015 era 10-16), che abbiano avuto o meno esperienze canore precedenti (regola introdotta nel 2008: prima dovevano essere esordienti assoluti) L’idea è nata nel 2003 prendendo spunto da concorsi per bambini organizzati nei paesi Scandinavi, dove l’Eurovision Song Contest (quello dei grandi) è seguito quasi come una religione. Le prime due edizioni furono infatti ospitate proprio da Danimarca e Norvegia. Curiosamente però, dopo le prime edizioni, i paesi Scandinavi si sono fatti da parte, eccezion fatta per la Svezia. Come funziona lo Junior Eurovision Song Contest? Esattamente come allo Eurovision dei grandi, possiamo dunque dire che sono “le televisioni” a concorrere, ciascuna con un proprio rappresentante. Rispetto alla rassegna degli adulti, ci sono alcune sostanziali differenze: Il cantante che viene selezionato (o il gruppo) deve essere rigorosamente della nazionalità del paese che rappresenta. L’unica eccezione è stata consentita per la Repubblica di San Marino (quest’anno assente). Nella rassegna dei “grandi” non ci sono invece paletti in tal senso ma piena libertà. Le canzoni devono essere eseguite obbligatoriamente in una delle lingue nazionali almeno per il 70% della propria durata, che deve essere compresa fra 2’45” e 3’ e completamente inedite al momento della presentazione ufficiale sul sito della rassegna o della partecipazione al concorso di selezione.

Acknowledgements I would like to thank first and foremost, my thesis supervisors, Dr. Tim Dunne and Prof. Ken Booth. Tim Dunne has been a constant source of inspiration and support. His thoughtful and competent criticism at various stages of the thesis has been crucial for both the progress and the quality of my research. Tim also read the entire manuscript and made valuable editorial suggestions on several occasions. Despite his numerous other responsibilities that demanded his attention, Prof. Ken Booth has always afforded me his time and advice whenever I needed it, and I thank him for that. The Department of International Politics has granted me the E.H. Carr Award without which I could not have pursued the work on this thesis. The Department has also provided me with an intellectual environment and expertise that welcomed creativity and fostered critical spirit. Numerous discussions with members of the faculty, especially with Dr. Jenny Edkins, Prof. Steve Smith, and Prof. Mike Foley, have helped me refine and focus my ideas. I also wish to thank Prof. William D. Rubinstein from the Department of History for supplying me with articles and references relevant to my research and for spending his lunch hours to enlighten me on various other issues in modern history. My special gratitude and appreciation go to Yael and Rabbi Hillel Simon who never missed an occasion to further my Jewish knowledge and patiently answered my endless questions about Chassidism and Jewish mystical traditions.

    June 27, 2021 Dear Friends, It is our sincere pleasure and privilege to announce that late Friday afternoon, the honorable Judge Rolf M. Thorsen signed the consolidation order, permitting Nanuet Hebrew Center and Montebello Jewish Center to become Congregation Shir Shalom. May we all have a bright and prosperous future ahead as we begin this new and exciting adventure. We look forward to seeing you at our services, and at many future events. Sincerely, Gail Kaiser & Jeff Schragenheim Co-Presidents, Nanuet Hebrew Center Fred Robinovitz President, Montebello Jewish Center June 2, 2021 Dear Friends, We wanted to personally share with you some updates as to the status of the consolidation of Nanuet Hebrew Center and Montebello Jewish Center. The Steering Committee and all of the joint subcommittees have been hard at work to make sure that this consolidation process moves along in a steady and timely manner. Here are the most current updates from each of the Consolidation Subcommittees: • The Legal Subcommittee has submitted the Agreement of Consolidation to the New York State Attorney General's office and the Supreme Court of Rockland County for approval of the consolidation. Since the consolidation is almost upon us, and the committee wanted to take a detailed and thorough approach to writing the new constitution. It was agreed that, in the interim, for no more than the first six months, Congregation Shir Shalom will operate under Montebello Jewish Center’s by-laws. Once the new constitution is complete, it will be voted upon by the entire, newly consolidated congregation. • The Finance Subcommittee continues the process of formulating a joint budget.

Eckhardt Head, Department of Comparative Literature; Director, School of Languages and Literatures *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of secular Jewish literatures since the Haskalah, or the movement toward “Jewish Enlightenment” that began around the end of the eighteenth century, is the reliance upon the archetypal aspects of the Judaic tradition, together with a propensity for intertextual pastiche and dialogue with the sacred texts. Indeed, from the revival of the Hebrew language at the end of the nineteenth century and all throughout the defining events of the last one hundred years, the trend of the textually sacrosanct appearing as a persistent motif in Judaic cultural production has only increased.

While commonly rejecting the latter, the earlier is celebrated. The paper deals with the attempts of several (Eretz) Israeli thinkers and writes to constitute a non-Orthodox, non-legalistic sense of Halakhah that would shape Jewish Zionist life.
