  • In 1949, Moshe Ben-David, Then 22 Years Old and Already An
    In 1949, Moshe Ben-David, then 22 years old and already an established jewelry maker by family tradition, immigrated from his ancestral home in Southern Yemen to the year-old State of Israel. His personal migration, part of a larger wave influenced by a Zionist zeal, was initiated and carried out by the Israeli government and the Jewish Agency that feared for the well-being of the community (Ben Zvi, 1949). The Jewish exodus from Yemen was sparked by the rising tides of nationalism, a political backlash to the failure of the Palestinian cause, and an anti- Semitic sentiment that had flared in the 1947 Aden riots. The perceived sense of immediate threat to the well-being of the community gave way to a decision to transport people to Israel as quickly as possible. The exodus from Yemen—simultaneously conducted in Iraq and subsequently in Iran, Morocco, and the majority of the Arab world—meant hastily leaving without gathering belongings, cultural artifacts, personal records, and documents. As people rushed from city centers to transitory and refugee camps, to makeshift airports, they carried only what they could. It is almost unfathomable that the flourishing Jewish Yemeni community—one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world, deeply entrenched in its territory, and holding a unique cultural and religious tradition—had all but disappeared in less than a year. Ancient Torah books, musical instruments, photographs, personal letters, heirloom rugs, silver, jewelry, and furniture were left behind, lost in transportation, or sold to fund a new beginning, causing a massive loss of community heritage and cultural knowledge (Meir-Glitzenstein, 2015, p.

  • The Responsibility to Palestinian Tatreez
    Heritage is to Art as the Medium is to the Message: The Responsibility to Palestinian Tatreez Reem Farah Introduction When a viewer first sets eyes on a Jordan Nassar work, it is particularly gratifying. The aesthetic quality of the pastel, colour-blocked, textured tessellations can invoke a state like that induced by experiencing the golden hour or the golden ratio. At first glance, Nassar’s Palestinian landscape embroidery seems to reinforce the message of Palestinian embroidery or tatreez, tightly stitching Palestinian land and culture in an artful rebuttal against the erasure of Palestine. It seems to say: ‘The land is Palestine, Palestine is the land’. Jordan Nassar, In The Yellow Lake, 2020, cotton on cotton, exhibited at The Third Line Gallery, Dubai, photo courtesy of the author Tatreez is an indigenous embroidery practice and cultural art form that illustrates Palestinian land and life: the tradition of reading the bottom of the coffee cup embodied as a brown octagon, a diagonal culmination of lines depicting wheat, or an endless squiggle impersonating a row of snails. History tells us that couching is popular in Bethlehem because of the influence of the Byzantine Empire there.1 The predominance of amulets or triangle crescents among bedouin 1 Couching is a technique of surface embellishment embroidery Reem Farah, ‘Heritage is to Art as the Medium is to the Message: The Responsibility to Palestinian Tatreez’, Third Text Online, www.thirdtext.org/farah- tatreez1, 28 January 2021; published simultaneously in Third Text Forum: Decolonial Imaginaire, www.thirdtext.org/farah-tatreez 1 women is because they believed it repelled the evil eye; birds are showcased in Gaza and Haifa as they were especially visible in coastal towns during migration seasons.2 The variations and significations of motifs are specific according to the women who embroidered them, but they are also adaptive as they were worked on collectively.

I argue that it was the ambiguous play between Greek music’s discursive value (its “image”) and the semiotic potential of its sound and music-adjacent practices, that allowed for its double-reception by Euro-Israeli elites and Working-class immigrants from Arab and Muslim countries (Mizrahim). This ambiguity positioned Greek music as a site for bypassing, negotiating, and subverting the dichotomy between Jew and Arab. As embodied in the 1960s by the biggest local star of Greek music––Aris San (1940- 1992) ––and by Greek international films such as Zorba the Greek, Greece and “Greekness” were often perceived as an unthreatening (i.e.

They understand we can’t be with them, but they’re always like, ‘How much longer? How much longer?’” Thanks to the COVID-19 vaccine, the Kirschners can finally say it won’t be much longer. The retired couple, based in Chicago, normally visit with their Boca Raton, Fla. grandkids at least three times a year. But amid the pandemic, as social isolation became a public health mandate and cross-state travel an unwise medical risk, they’ve spent the last 15 months hundreds of miles away. Now, with their second vaccine doses administered, they plan to fly out to Florida in a couple of weeks — just in time to hide the afikoman and hear their youngest ask, “Why is this night different from all other nights?” For Passover 2020, Lidia Epel had already booked flights to visit her daughter and grandchildren. “But Chicago-based Jerry and Ruth Kirschner visiting her grandchildren in Florida Passover came and the pandemic started,” Epel, 79, shorty before the pandemic outbreak.

This was a double holiness whose violation seemed inconceivable. Yet the Yorn Kippur-Sabbath sanctity was ripped open by the siren's fearsome sound at 2 : 00 p . m. Those in synagogue and those at home were utterly incredulous. No one understood. Fifteen minutes later the siren sounded again, and then the very first radio announcement was made, that this was the real thing, not a test alert, Egypt and Syria had attacked. The shock was unhelievable. Every person asked only one question - how had this surprise occurr ed? There had been no warning, no building of tension, no days of expectancy.

Initially, predominantly female doll makers produced three main types of Israeli dolls, but over time the religious Eastern European male doll triumphed in the pantheon of national types. Produced for retail sale to non-Hebrew speaking tourists by immigrant woman, the Eastern European religious male doll came to represent Israel abroad while the market pushed representations of the Middle Eastern Jewish woman and the native sabra child to the side-lines.

By making it available to English scholars of agriculture, sociological relations, and public opinion, we hope that its analysis and research will contribute to the awareness about Israeli culture. The GIIS is one of the largest and most active centers for the study of Israel in the United States today. Headed by Professor Yoram Peri, the Abraham S. and Jack Kay Chair in Israel Studies, the GIIS offers 15 courses each year to 500 students, which focuses on five different aspects of Israel: Israeli History, Society, Politics, Culture, and the Middle East Conflict. The GIIS also sponsors conferences, lectures, cultural events, and community forums. One of the important aspects of the GIIS is sponsoring, conducting, and publishing research on various aspects of Israel Studies. Our signature research project is Israel 2023, a series of three monographs that construct different possible scenarios for Israel as it approaches its 75th anniversary in three broad areas of major concern: Relations between Arab and Jewish Israelis, Israel’s Geo-strategic position, and Religion and State in Israel. The Institute also regularly publishes on its website both original research and translations of important articles that have already appeared in Hebrew. More information about the GIIS is available at: THE GILDENHORN INSTITUTE FOR ISRAEL STUDIES 4123 H.J.
