SERVICES Friday, December 4 What ever happened to the delightfully lightweight holiday called Hanukah, 7:30 pm whose essential character was playful like a spinning dreidel? Even the Family Shabbat Service rabbis in the Talmud who defined many of our holidays did not know what to do with Hanukah. They kept asking, "What is Hanukah?" Saturday, December 5 11:00 am For our forebears from Eastern and Central Europe, the nightly lighting of Bnai Mitzvah Service Andrew Elligers the menorah, accompanied by the singing of Rock of Ages and giving Julie Ivins "Hanukah gelt" (small change) to the children constituted the essence of our celebration. Special foods like pan fried potato !atkes (pancakes) were Friday, December 11 universal. Of course today in Israel, because of the Sephardic influence, 8:15 pm they enjoy doughnuts fried in oil. Above all, Hanukah brought light-hearted Shabbat Evening Service fun to young and old in the midst of the dreary winter season. 8:15 pm Teen Congregation However, Hanukah could be taken as a very serious holiday which Saturday, December 12 celebrates a remarkable victory of a small band of patriots facing 11:00 am overwhelming odds. Out of this victory came the renewal of our people and Bar Mitzvah Service its religious freedom, freedom to be ourselves. David Ellis Friday, December 18 Now, is there a more important idea to celebrate in our time when, even 6:30 pm today in the closing decade of the 20th century, so few of our fellow human Tot Shabbat beings enjoy personal freedom, freedom of conscience? 8:15 pm Hanukah Festival Service It is only sheer coincidence that our Christian neighbors celebrate their Saturday, December 19 major religious holiday at the same time. We should be very careful not to 11:00 am confuse them by appropriating aspects of their holiday and thereby Bnai Mitzvah Service confusing our children as well. So let us enjoy our holiday and let us wish Cory Aserkoff our neighbors a happy time as well.

  • Cultura Israelense
    Cultura Israelense: Israel é um país novo e antigo, pequeno em tamanho, mas dotado de topografia variada e com uma população heterogênea e culturalmente ativa de mais de 5,5 milhões de habitantes. É o lugar onde o Oriente se encontra com o Ocidente, e o passado e o presente se tocam; e onde os estilos de vida são moldados por ideologias. Quatro mil anos de tradição judaica, mais de um século de sionismo, a reunião dos exilados e quase cinco décadas de existência como estado moderno contribuíram para a formação de uma cultura que já criou sua própria identidade, embora preservando a singularidade das 70 comunidades que a compõem. A cultura israelense é o resultado do encontro entre o indivíduo e a sociedade, um amálgama de tradição e inovação e busca um meio-termo entre o especificamente israelense e o universal. Sendo uma sociedade constituída sobretudo de imigrantes e de nativos de segunda geração, a expressão criativa do país absorveu inúmeras e diversas influências culturais e sociais; as tradições de cada grupo rivalizam-se umas com as outras, ao mesmo tempo que se confrontam com a história recente do país e a vida no contexto do Oriente Médio. A constante busca de uma identidade cultural se expressa através da criatividade numa ampla gama de expressões artísticas, apreciadas e usufruídas pela maioria da população em seu dia-a-dia. Os laços culturais internacionais de Israel abrangem a cooperação em inúmeros campos, como língua, literatura, artes, ciência, mídia e esportes. Com base em acordos bilaterais com mais de 70 países, além de ligações com muitos outros, as atividades vão desde programas de intercâmbio acadêmico e de estudantes, turnês recíprocas de grupos de dança, de companhias de teatro, de músicos e orquestras, de exposições de arte, à participação em feiras de livros, festivais de cinema e competições esportivas, assim com o ensino recíproco da língua e das tradições culturais de ambos os países.

  • Radicant Israeli Art: from Past to Future
    arts Article Radicant Israeli Art: From Past to Future Ori Z. Soltes Center for Jewish Civilization, Georgetown University, Washington, DC 20057, USA; [email protected] Received: 4 November 2019; Accepted: 10 January 2020; Published: 6 February 2020 Abstract: Mieke Bal’s concept of “migratory aesthetics” and the observation by Saloni Mathur and Anne Ring Peterson that “traditional notions of location, origin and authenticity seem obsolete and in urgent need of reconsideration” perfectly encompass the phrase “Jewish art”, and within that difficult-to-define subject, Israeli art (which, among other things, is not always “Jewish”). As Hava Aldouby has noted, Israeli art presents a unique inflection of the global condition of mobility—which in fact contributes to the problem of easily defining the category of “Israeli art”. Nothing could be more appropriate to the discussion of Israeli art, or to the larger definitional problem of “Jewish art” than to explore it through Nicolas Bourriaud’s botanical metaphor of the “radicant”, and thus the notion of “radicant art”. The important distinction that Bourriaud offers between radical and radicant plants—whereby the former type depends upon a central root, deep-seated in a single nourishing soil site, whereas the latter is an “organism that grows its roots and adds new ones as it advances ::: ” with “ ::: a multitude of simultaneous or successive enrootings”—is a condition that may be understood for both Israeli and Jewish art, past and present: Aldouby’s notion that the image of the Wandering Jew offers the archetypal radicant, informs both the “altermodernity” concept and Israeli art. Keywords: Arab; Bezalel; diaspora; diverse/diversity; Jerusalem Biennale; Jewish art; Palestinian; radicant; Schatz 1.

In the former, man lives in the world as in a house, as in a home. In the latter, man lives in the world as in an open field and at times does not even have four pegs with which to set up a tent.” Martin Buber The concept of “home” is a far-reaching metaphor, yet it does not entirely reflect the phenomenon.
