WESTERN WALL ַה ּכֹו ֶתל ַה ַּמ ַעָר ִבי The Western Wall, known as the Kotel, is revered as the holiest site for the Jewish people. A part of the outer retaining wall of the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, it is the place closest to the ancient Holy of Holies, where only the Kohanim— —Jewish priests were allowed access. When Israel gained independence in 1948, Jordan controlled the Western Wall and all of the Old City of Jerusalem; the city was reunified in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Western Wall is considered an Orthodox synagogue by Israeli authorities, with separate prayer spaces for men and women. A mixed egalitarian prayer area operates along a nearby section of the Temple’s retaining wall, raising to the forefront contemporary ideas of religious expression—a prime example of how Israel navigates between past and present. SITES AND INSIGHTS theicenter.org SHUK ׁשוּק Every Israeli city has an open-air market, or shuk, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothing, appliances, and souvenirs. There’s no other place that feels more authentically Israeli than a shuk on Friday afternoon, as seemingly everyone shops for Shabbat. Drawn by the freshness and variety of produce, Israelis and tourists alike flock to the shuk, turning it into a microcosm of the country. Shuks in smaller cities and towns operate just one day per week, while larger markets often play a key role in the city’s cultural life. At night, after the vendors go home, Machaneh Yehuda— —Jerusalem’s shuk, turns into the city’s nightlife hub. -

newsletter 17 Autumn 2009 • • Im! newsletter JEWISH MUSIC INSTITUTE SOAS Yearbook of 2009 informing, teaching, performing, inspiring JMI Forging Ahead Towards 2010 Chairman Jonathan Metliss looks forward to the future Under its immensely committed group of officers and trustees, and with the assistance of my deputy chair, Jennifer Jankel, daughter of the late Joe Loss, I am delighted to say that JMI is striding forward confid ently and with energy and enthusiasm into the next decade. We warmly welcome new trustees, David Mencer, Gordon Hausmann and lan Braidman, Professor Stuart Stanton and Rabbi Norman Solomon, all of whom are in the forefront of communal and business affairs. They all love Jewish music and bring a wealth of experience , creativity and imagination to the Board. Short profiles are set out on page 3. Our August klezmer concert in the heady atmosph ere of Camden Town's Jazz Cafe during KlezFest drew a rich mix of audience members who relished music from the leading lights of European Klezmer - and the classical virtuoso Em ma Johnson. [S ee the article on What makes klezmer so special? on page 6]. This was an id eal exam ple of JMI eng ag ing the interest of a wide audience including the younger generation. 'Klezmer in the Park' was an outstanding afternoon with the Jewish Community out in force enjoying a real feast of great Jewish music in the su nshine of Regent's Park.

The Idan Raichel Project: “Mi‘ Ma‘amakim” (Idan Raichel) Die täglichen Nachrichten lassen es kaum vermuten, dass in Israel Spielraum und Muße für interkulturelle Experimente bleibt. Wir sind abgestumpft von den jahrzehntelangen Horrormeldungen über den Konflikt zwischen Israelis und Palästinensern. Dass im trendigen Tel Aviv, im historischen Jerusalem, in Haifa und einer ganzen Menge kleinerer Städte eine quirlige Musikszene blüht, bekommen wir allenfalls marginal mit, wenn einmal Namen wie Ofra Haza oder Noa aufs internationale Parkett treten. Immerhin sind Popstars wie Idan Raichel und Mosh Ben Ari oder der Songwriter David Broza auch bei uns keine gänzlich unbeschriebenen Blätter. Putumayo enthüllt um diese bekannteren Persönlichkei- ten herum nun weitere Gesichter. Da sind vielversprechende Newcomer genauso aufgeboten wie Tonkünstler mit Legendenstatus, verschrobene Eurovision Song Contest-Teilnehmer genau wie Experimentatoren zwischen den Kulturräumen. Und diese Vielfalt ist kein Konstrukt, sondern spiegelt nur den Staat Israel als Immigrantenland, eingebettet in eine flirrende Geographie am Kreuzungspunkt zwischen Europa, Afrika und Asien wider – mit jemenitischen, russischen, arabi- schen, asiatischen und äthiopischen Einflüssen. -
Classical Music and the Hebrew Song Repertoire YOSEF GOLDENBERG
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Classical Music and the Hebrew Song Repertoire YOSEF GOLDENBERG The repertoire of Hebrew folk and popular songs has various links to the tradition of classical music, some of which we will examine here. These links include: occasional textual references, musical quotations, stylistic imitations, biographical relationships of Israeli art music composers to the folk or popular repertoire and vice versa, classical performances of Israeli songs, stylistic features shared with classical music (much more prominent in Israeli songs than in Anglo-American pop-rock music), and occasionally even quasi-classical artistic devices (not necessarily in songs whose style resembles classical music). References to and Use of Classical Music in Hebrew Songs Textual references to classical music appear in many Hebrew songs, especially those that are humoristic in style. Classical music generally serves as a stereotypic symbol of high art, whether it is being praised for being exemplary, or blamed for being arrogant.1 Specific composers mentioned in song texts are usually interchangeable; specific works are hardly ever mentioned, and, when they are, the reference does not 1 For example, Beethoven’s name is mentioned as a symbol of genius in Ata Pele [You are a Miracle] (Chava Alberstein, 1989); a hostile approach appears in Be-Gova ha-‘Einayim [At Eye Level] (Uzi Chitman, 1995). I refer to the names of the composer or lyrics writer (according to context) and year of composition or release. I found many of these details in MOOMA’s listings at http://www.mooma.com, or at ACUM [the Israeli ASCAP] site at http://www.acum.org. -

Israel, Energía Creativa: 65 Años De Músicai
Música israelí Israel, energía creativa: 65 años de músicai El presente artículo acompaña al DVD titulado “Israel: energía creativa: 65 años de música”, que incluye treinta y seis canciones de todos los tiempos y géneros musicales, cada una de las cuales aporta un especial matiz a la creación cultural israelí. Clásicos israelíes: Desde la creación del Estado de Israel, muchas composiciones musicales se convirtieron en lo que conocemos como "Clásica israelí". Es difícil señalar el preciso ingrediente que hace que una canción forme parte del universo de los "clásicos"... A continuación, presentamos tres temas que hemos decidido incluir dentro de esta categoría: “Uf Gozal” Arik Einstein (N° 29) “Uf Gozal” se ha convertido en una las canciones favoritas, por su letra simple y a la vez profunda, y p r o b a b l e m e n t e t a m b i é n p o r e l hecho de que Arik Einstein es su compositor y cantante. Los críticos de música en Israel han dicho “Arik Einstein es más que el mejor cantante israelí!” “Uf Gozal” trata sobre el envejecimiento y el abandono de los padres cuando los hijos crecen y dejan el nido, y las ganas que estos padres tienen, entre preocupación y tristeza, de verlos desplegar sus alas y volar. "Bat 60" de Guevatrón y Subliminal (N° 24) http://www.energia-creativa.com/bat-60-subliminal-y-guivatron- subtitulada-al-castellano/ "Bat Shishim" fue escrita con motivo del sexagésimo aniversario del kibutz Gueva, uno de los primeros kibutzim que se construyeron en el Valle Jezreel en 1921. -

Gelblum notava che: “Questa è l’immigrazione di una razza come ancora non abbiamo mai visto in questo paese. […] In linea di massima, sono appena po- co meglio degli arabi, dei neri e dei berberi di quelle stesse regioni. […] Sono anche privi di radici ebraiche, dal momento che sono del tutto assoggettati ad istinti selvaggi e primitivi”.1 Qualche tempo dopo, il primo ministro israeliano David Ben-Gurion avrebbe riflet- tuto su come gli ebrei del Medio Oriente e Nord Africa sembrasse- ro mancare “della più elementare forma di conoscenza” e di “una Nota sulle traduzioni e traslitterazioni: ove non sia diversamente indicato, i termi- ni in corsivo seguiti dalla traduzione italiana sono traslitterazioni dall’ebraico e le citazioni mie traduzioni dei testi originali. -
