    The National Herald December 23, 2006 The National Herald is once again honored to join you and your family for Christmas. In addition to the other contents in this issue, we have spotlighted two short and abridged stories written by Photios Kontoglou (1895–1965), a gifted and spiritual artist. These stories depict two unique celebrations of Christmas in Aivali, Asia Minor. As the Christmas season draws near, many of us will be attending Orthodox churches and experiencing the spiritual power of Greek icons. Kondoglou was the foremost iconographer in Greece in the 20th century. He wrote extensively on the sacred art of iconography, in fact he is considered the man responsible for the revival of Byzantine iconography in the 1930’s. Kontoglou was born in 1895 in Aivali, Asia Minor. Together with his paintings and his writings, he published more than 3000 studies and articles, fighting for the eternal values of the Or- thodoxy and the Greek Tradition. Although known primarily as an iconist and philosopher, Kontoglou was also nominated for the Nobel Prize in literature. He was awarded the Cross-of-the- Commander of the Phoenix and received the Distinction of Letters and Arts from the Academy of Athens in recognition of all his exceptional work. We are also continuing our theme of Christmas past with a touching story, from the perspective of a Greek soldier, during the Albanian campaign of 1940-1941. Included in this insert is a lighthearted piece by Paul Papadeas about celebrating Christmas Greek style in North Carolina during the 1980’s. As for the story of Christmas present we leave it up to you, and from all of the staff of The National Herald we wish you “Χρόνια Πολλά.” Beverley MacDougall Special Section Assistant Editor 2 CHRISTMAS 2006 THE NATIONAL HERALD, DECEMBER 23, 2006 and fill their hearts and minds with The National Herald peace.

  • Reform Or Consensus? Choral Synagogues in the Russian Empire
    arts Article Reform or Consensus? Choral Synagogues in the Russian Empire Vladimir Levin The Center for Jewish Art, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 9190501, Israel; [email protected] Received: 5 May 2020; Accepted: 15 June 2020; Published: 23 June 2020 Abstract: Many scholars view the choral synagogues in the Russian Empire as Reform synagogues, influenced by the German Reform movement. This article analyzes the features characteristic of Reform synagogues in central and Western Europe, and demonstrates that only a small number of these features were implemented in the choral synagogues of Russia. The article describes the history, architecture, and reception of choral synagogues in different geographical areas of the Russian Empire, from the first maskilic synagogues of the 1820s–1840s to the revolution of 1917. The majority of changes, this article argues, introduced in choral synagogues were of an aesthetic nature. The changes concerned decorum, not the religious meaning or essence of the prayer service. The initial wave of choral synagogues were established by maskilim, and modernized Jews became a catalyst for the adoption of the choral rite by other groups. Eventually, the choral synagogue became the “sectorial” synagogue of the modernized elite. It did not have special religious significance, but it did offer social prestige and architectural prominence. Keywords: synagogue; Jewish history in Russia; reform movement; Haskalah; synagogue architecture; Jewish cultural studies; Jewish architecture 1. Introduction The synagogue was the most important Jewish public space until the emergence of secular institutions in the late nineteenth century. As such, it was a powerful means of representation of the Jewish community in its own eyes and in the eyes of the non-Jewish population.

  • Les Panoramas Du Lac De Tibériade, Des Vues Sidérantes, Ancrées Dans L’Histoire
    Les panoramas du lac de Tibériade, des vues sidérantes, ancrées dans l’Histoire Le panorama de Beitsaida surplombe le nord du lac de Tibériade et la vallée luxuriante de Beitsaida Valley. (Crédit : Asaf Ben-Zvi) Gracia Mendes Nasi, connue également sous le nom de Dona Gracia, était l’une des femmes les plus riches de l’Europe du 16e siècle. Née en 1510 dans une famille de Marranes portugais – ces Juifs baptisés chrétiens par force – elle avait épousé un oncle très riche à l’âge de 18 ans. Quand il est mort, moins d’une décennie plus tard, elle avait découvert qu’il avait fait d’elle son unique héritière. Et finalement, en raison d’une querelle familiale sur l’héritage, elle avait été dénoncée par sa sœur pour sa pratique secrète du judaïsme, et avait été incarcérée. C’était alors l’époque de l’Inquisition, une époque d’immense péril pour les Juifs d’Europe. Et après la libération de Dona Gracia, cette dernière était parvenue à persuader le sultan turc de rebâtir la ville de Tibériade, autrefois grandiose. Là-bas, elle avait érigé une implantation juive pour y accueillir les réfugiés fuyant l’Espagne et le Portugal et avait mené d’autres belles actions : elle a construit des écoles, des synagogues, et a assumé une mission de mécénat pour les artistes juifs. Et il n’est donc guère surprenant qu’en plus d’un hôtel qui porte le nom de cette grande dame et d’un musée qui raconte sa vie, Tibériade s’enorgueillisse d’une forêt Dona Gracia, qui offre un panorama unique pour admirer les eaux scintillantes du lac.
