The Case For A Kidney K.I. member Paul Green is seeking a living kidney donor Paul Green is in need of a kidney from a living donor. A prominent musician, he is married to Lisa Green, both Knesset Israel members who live in Pittsfield with their dog, Jolene. Paul has advanced Stage 4 kidney disease and has been placed on the kidney transplant list at UMass Memorial in Worcester. However, the list’s waiting time for a kidney from a cadaver can be more than five years, while a trans- plant from a living donor can happen very quickly. It will also last on average twice as long as one from a deceased donor. That’s why he has begun “kidney campaigning.” More than 113,000 people in the United States are waiting for transplants, but the demand for organs far exceeds the supply. Living donation offers another choice for transplant candidates. Paul has been living with kidney disease for a long time. “The first signs of it occurred almost 30 years ago,” Paul says. “Fortunately, the disease progressed slowly, and I’ve lived a very full life despite it. But I am getting close to having to go on dialysis, and while I’m glad it exists, it can be debili- tating, and it is much better for my prognosis if I am able to get a kidney transplant before I have to start dialysis.” people.

A living donor doesn’t have to be a family member. (Paul’s one sibling has diabetes, which rules him out.) He or she doesn’t It’s a daunting prospect to find a living donor. Who really wants even need to be a “perfect” match. The new anti-rejection drugs to ask someone to donate an organ? But in doing his research, have made the “matching” of donor/recipient much easier.

  • Of Paul Robeson 53
    J. Karp: The “Hassidic Chant” of Paul Robeson 53 Performing Black-Jewish Symbiosis: The “Hassidic Chant” of Paul Robeson JONATHAN KARP* On May 9, 1958, the African American singer and political activist Paul Robeson (1898–1976) performed “The Hassidic [sic] Chant of Levi Isaac,” along with a host of spirituals and folk songs, before a devoted assembly of his fans at Carnegie Hall. The “Hassidic Chant,” as Robeson entitled it, is a version of the Kaddish (Memorial Prayer) attributed to the Hasidic rebbe (master), Levi Yitzhak of Berditchev (1740–1810), a piece also known as the “Din Toyre mit Got” (“The Lawsuit with God”). According to tradition, Levi Yizhak had composed the song spontaneously on a Rosh Hashanah as he contemplated the steadfast faith of his people in the face of their ceaseless suffering. He is said to have stood in the synagogue before the open ark where the Torah scrolls reside and issued his complaint directly to God: a gut morgn dir, riboynoy shel oylem; ikh, levi yitzhak ben sarah mi-barditchev, bin gekumen tzu dir mit a din toyre fun dayn folk yisroel. vos host-tu tzu dayn folk yisroel; un vos hos-tu zich ongezetst oyf dayn folk yisroel? A good day to Thee, Lord of the Universe! I, Levi Yitzhak, son of Sarah, from Berditchev, Bring against you a lawsuit on behalf of your People, Israel. What do you have against your People, Israel? Why have your so oppressed your People, Israel?1 After this questioning of divine justice, Levi Yitzhak proceeded to chant the Kaddish in attestation to God’s sovereignty and supremacy.

Also by appointment for online and telephone appointments at other times. Course Description: This 3000 level course explores Jewish life, law, and practice through the bodily experiences of food, sex and death in historical and contemporary perspectives. From kosher bacon to sex work to zombies in Jewish law this course will reflect on the body as a material site of the religious to target key questions around what it means to be human, holiness and the sacred, gender and sexuality, identity, otherness, and community, tradition and authority, and health and wellness. In religious studies we understand religion as a human phenomenon that we study from critical, historical, and evidence-based perspectives. Jewish bodily practices include ritual observance, commanded and prohibited behaviours, and cultural practices. These practices reflect the diversity of Judaism itself, lived by humans in specific times and places and experienced in particular cultural, social and political contexts. As such we will consider a range of Jewish bodily practices and experiences that are both historical and contemporary. Key questions include: How does

After the Golem: Teaching Golems, Kabbalah, Exile, Imagination, and Technological Takeover. Abstract The golem is an elusive creature. From a religious perspective it enacts spirit entering matter, a creation story of potential salvation crossed with reprehensible arrogance. As a historical narrative, the golem story becomes a tale of Jewish powerlessness and oppression, of pogroms and ghettoization, of assimilation and exile, and sometimes, of renewal. As the subject of a course in women, gender and sexuality studies, the golem narrative can be seen as a relentless questioning of otherness and identity and as a revelation of the complex intersectionalities of gender, class, sexuality, race, disability, and ethnicity.

  • THE KADDISH by JENNIFER ADELE SCHWARTZBERG
    THE KADDISH by JENNIFER ADELE SCHWARTZBERG (Under the Direction of David S. Williams) ABSTRACT This thesis traces the history and significance of a Jewish prayer, the Kaddish. The Kaddish plays several important roles in Jewish liturgy, and by researching its history and role within Judaism I hope to demonstrate its uniqueness and importance. The Kaddish plays the primary role of the memorial prayer for the dead, but it does not mention death or bereavement, warranting examination of its origin as the prayer for the dead, as well as its interaction with Jewish mourning. This thesis researches the linguistics, history and concepts of the Kaddish, as well as detailing the prayer’s effect on the Lord’s Prayer and its role in the Holocaust. INDEX WORDS: Kaddish, Lord’s Prayer, Holocaust, Jewish liturgy, mourning THE KADDISH by JENNIFER ADELE SCHWARTZBERG B.A., Louisiana State University, 2005 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2007 © 2007 Jennifer Adele Schwartzberg All Rights Reserved THE KADDISH by JENNIFER ADELE SCHWARTZBERG Major Professor: David S.

  • DISTURBANCES in the PERCEPTUAL FIELD This Chapter Began at Least 10 Years Ago and Has Undergone Constant Development Through at Least Seven Versions
    DISTURBANCES IN THE PERCEPTUAL FIELD This chapter began at least 10 years ago and has undergone constant development through at least seven versions. In the design of this book I tried to find some way to incorporate its contents into another chapter, such as the previous, but it has its own integrity and value. Thus I include it as a separate chapter. The mystery of the human being is as great as the mystery of the cosmos. We are just beginning the discovery of each. The human is a highly complex organism living in relationship with the external world and thus acquiring a history, developing an internal world which becomes as real in its impact on personality as the external world, possessing a spirit or soul providing unique identity and resources,79 and living out all of these dimensions through the medium of a highly complex biological system which we call “body.”80 So, what’s normal? We mistakenly feel that there is some “normal” way for this all to be, as if there were a standard human pattern from which we all were cut or according to which we all developed. But the differences in our genetic inheritance, the differences in our personal and family histories, the differences in the ways in which we are hormonally enabled and neurologically wired, to name a few, all make each of us different. As one who teaches, I have had to recognize the different styles of learning and the neurological differences which make it easy to learn some things and difficult to learn others.
