One of the imag- es of the observance of Passover is the envisioning of Elijah the Prophet visiting the Se- der. The Cup of Elijah represents God’s promise to give the Land of Israel to the People of Israel. We sing that Elijah will arrive with the Messiah. The messianic era, means a time of peace and security for all humanity. At the same time that we open the door for Elijah and sing his song, we also recite the passage, “Pour out Your wrath upon those groups of people who insist upon doing evil and bringing about death and destruction. Destroy and remove them from the face of the earth.” There are twin values that we emphasize in Judaism—to yearn and strive for peace and happiness for all on earth, while at the same time to always be willing and prepared to defend ourselves against those who want and intend to destroy us. We should easily understand, with terror and violence so prevalent in the world today, that the reality of life demands the fulfill- ment of both these values. Pharoah and Haman in many different manifestations are still with us. We must con- tinue to teach the twin Torah values of reaching out to improve the world, while remembering the verse, “These are the commandments of the Creator by which we should live.” and not die. Rabbi Barukh Schectman President’s Message Dear Congregants, I hope all is well as we go forward into our springtime mode. This past Wednesday, Florence and I had the pleasure of being part of the minyan during the reading of the story of Purim. Rabbi Schectman did a wonderful job during the Megillah reading of incorporating both Hebrew and English, making it interesting while adding an historical per- spective. I also enjoyed all those that participated in the parade. A special shout out to Spencer Tingley, who was profoundly energetic in his costume, and thank you to all the readers and planners and the hamentaschen bakers.

Consider joining us next time around!!! to join in on the fun....if you want to learn, come and we will teach you! ~Bonnie Goldstein ~Bonnie Goldstein NAME TAGS There’s been a little confusion about our new name tags. We introduced them at the same time that Rabbi Schectman arrived so it seemed obvious that they were designed to help him get to know us. But if you are thinking that, and thus thinking that as soon as he learns your name, you no longer need to wear your name tag, you would be, well, wrong! The idea of introducing name tags here at Adath Israel was actually hatched several months before we hired Rabbi Schectman. They are an initiative of our syna- gogue’s Transition Committee. The idea behind them is that knowing each other’s names is an important part of building a community. It is the first step to building relationships, and it is in those relationships that we begin to feel like we are creating a connected vibrant congregation. You will find your name tag in the lobby of the synagogue. Please wear your name tag whenever you are in the building and then please remember to return it to the alphabetized box before you leave. Let’s make 2016 be the year when we really get to know each other and start to feel like a family.

In his four-decade career, Spielberg has been admired for making blockbusters such as Jaws (1975), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), E.T.: the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Indiana Jones series (1981, 1984, 1989, 2008), Schindler’s List (1993), Jurassic Park series (1993, 1997, 2001, 2015), Saving Private Ryan (1998), Lincoln (2012) and many other smash hits. Spielberg’s life as a filmmaker has been so brilliant that it looks like no one believes that there was any moment he spent at the bottom of the ladder in the movie industry. Much to the surprise of the skeptics, Spielberg was once just another director at Universal Television for the first couple years after launching himself into the cinema making world. Learning how to make good movies by trial and error, Spielberg made a breakthrough with his second feature-length telefilm Duel (1971) at the age of 25 and advanced into the big screen, where he would direct and produce more than 100 movies, including many great hits and some commercial or critical failures, in the next 40-something years.

When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.

  • Steven Spielberg's the War of the Worlds
    Alicante Journal of English Studies 29 (2016): 7-23 Alien Invasions and Identity Crisis: Steven Spielberg’s The War of the Worlds (2005) Rocío Carrasco Carrasco Universidad de Huelva [email protected] ABSTRACT The idea of national identity as threatened by foreign invasions has been at the centre of many popular Science Fiction (SF) films in the United States of America. In alien invasion films, aggressive colonisers stand for collective anxieties and can be read “as metaphors for a range of perceived threats to humanity, or particular groups, ranging from 1950s communism to the AIDS virus and contemporary ‘illegal aliens’ of human origin” (King and Krzywinska, 2000: 31-2). Such films can effectively tell historical and cultural specificities, including gender concerns. In them, the characters’ sense of belonging to a nation is destabilised in a number of ways, resulting in identity crisis in most cases. A fervent need to defend the nation from the malevolent strangers is combined with an alienation of the self in the search of individual salvation or survival. The present analysis will attempt to illustrate how threats to configurations of power are employed in a contemporary alien invasion film: The War of the Worlds (Steven Spielberg, 2005). Specifically, the film takes the narrative of destruction to suggest the destabilisation of US national power within the context of post September 11, together with a subtle disruption of the gender and sexual status quo. Indeed, new ways of understanding masculinity and fatherhood assault both the public and the private spaces of its white male heterosexual protagonist, Ray, performed by popular actor Tom Cruise.

Intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic: Science, Religion, and The War of the Worlds - Part I Abstract The War of the Worlds, which was scripted by Barré Lyndon and directed by Byron Haskin, reflects the Christian religiosity with which many of these films were charged—the overt references to a second Ark as humankind struggles to escape Earth in When Worlds Collide or the oft-repeated interpretation of Klaatu as a Christ-figure in The Day the Earth Stood Still. The significant question in this essay, though, is: In terms of its presentation of religion, why does the first cinematic version of The War of the Worlds, one of the seminal science fiction novels of the twentieth-century, differ so dramatically from Wells' original vision? This article is continued in Volume 11, Issue 2.

  • 'The War of the Worlds' Revived at the Sitges Festival
    ‘The War of the Worlds’ revived at the Sitges Festival A Gas Natural Fenosa exhibition will take visitors to a late 1930’s American home under the effects of the chaos from a supposed alien invasión In 2013 there are two anniversaries connected to an essential science fiction classic: The War of the Worlds, H. G. Wells’s novel. On the one hand, 60 years since the premiere of the movie by the same name directed by Byron Haskin and starring Gene Barry and Ann Robinson. On the other, the 75th anniversary of Orson Welles’s radio broadcast. The Sitges – International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia will celebrate both historic events and host a commemorative exhibition. Sponsored by Gas Natural Fenosa, the exhibition will evoke a late 1930’s home, for visitors to be able to relive the experience of how terror entered and spread out around the homes of millions of Americans, causing actual chaos. The show will include in- room effects that, with their spectacular sounds, undoubtedly added to the authenticity of the invasion and the frightened Americans feeling that they were the protagonists of a film story in their own homes. The exhibition will be curated by Jordi Ojeda, associate professor at the University of Barcelona, specializing in the dissemination of science using universal works from film, comics and literature. The show will be installed in the Gas Natural Fenosa space next to the Hotel Meliá Sitges’ Auditori. The show will also include images and objects evoking the novel and the movie. The film’s screening in Sitges will complete the tribute to The War of the Worlds.
