(Bereavement, illness, stress, etc.) 13 TRSTY & Jr. TRSTY 2 From the Clergy Conversion Shabbat May 18 ne of the highlights of my week’s work as a rabbi is mentoring, teaching and learning with adult conversion students. We talk about Jewish history and texts, prayer, holidays, Shabbat and other topics. Their enthusiasm O for a new religion, culture and community is contagious, and I am happy to share personal stories, ideas and teachings from our tradition. As you may already know, in addition to meeting with students individually, I have been working with students in a group set- ting for our first-ever Temple Rodef Shalom Group Conversion Class. We have been meeting for a year and the participants have shared their experiences, challenges, successes and excitement with each other. Because the group is made up of Temple Rodef Shalom members, all of them are married to Jews – some have been married for over 20 years. For many years they have lived in a Jewish household and most of them have raised or are raising Jewish children. After a two-year program of study and after many family experiences at home, these students will formally join the Jewish people. All participants will be going to the mikvah at Congregation Adas Israel in Washington, DC, all will take Hebrew names, and all will officially be welcomed into our community with a special Conversion Shabbat service on Friday, May 18 at 8 pm. Please join us in formally welcoming these new Jewish souls to our community. A few of them will participate in the service and some will share their own personal journeys. It is sure to be a moving Shabbat service.

  • Jewish Organists and Organs in German Synagogues

    Jewish Organists and Organs in German Synagogues

    Jewish Organists and Organs in German Synagogues The title alone sounds nonsensical to most of us. But there is now an entire book on the subject, carried out with meticulous care by a German writer, describing herself as “a scholar who is not Jewish”, prompted by her accidental discovery that such people and activities once flourished. More than that, they continue into our present era and will do so in the future, it is hoped. Her research led to a comprehensive work in German, published in 2005. Now we have its English translation, published by the Oxford University Press in 2009: The Organ and Its Music in German-Jewish Culture by Tina Frühauf ISBN 978-0-19-533706-8 (284 pages, hard-back) We regard the organ as a Christian possession, a vital part of the religious service. But it was only slowly accepted ca. 900—1100 CE, when still a primitive instrument, and even then it was not incorporated into the liturgy. By comparison, instrumental music (whatever its form may have been) was apparently used in prayer by the ancient Hebrews; there is even a possibility that an organ — the magrepha — was used in the Temple in Jerusalem. It was not until the 15th century that Christianity adopted the organ as a devotional instrument, and this was slow to take hold. The Presbyterian Church, for example, did not accept the organ in services until well into the 19th century. There was concern that organ music would be regarded as frivolous, unworthy of the gravity of religion. Jewish orthodox practice continues to take this attitude.

The Israeli settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev lies beyond in East Jerusalem. This publication takes its point of departure from Fazal Sheikh’s Memory Trace, the first of his three-volume photographic proj- ect on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Published in the spring of 2015, The Erasure Trilogy is divided into three separate vol- umes—Memory Trace, Desert Bloom, and Independence/Nakba. The project seeks to explore the legacies of the Arab–Israeli War of 1948, which resulted in the dispossession and displacement of three quarters of the Palestinian population, in the establishment of the State of Israel, and in the reconfiguration of territorial borders across the region. Elements of these volumes have been exhibited at the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, Storefront for Art and Architecture, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Pace/MacGill Gallery in New York, and will now be presented at the Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in East Jerusalem, and the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center in Ramallah. In addition, historical documents and materials related to the history of Al-’Araqīb, a Bedouin village that has been destroyed and rebuilt more than one hundred times in the ongoing “battle over the Negev,” first presented at the Slought Foundation, will be shown at Al-Ma’mal.

    Sampler Linernts 8 559406.Indd

    Cover Art A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secular body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews first arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. My personal interest in music and deep abiding commitment to synagogue life and the Jewish people united as I developed an increasing appreciation for the quality and tremendous diversity of music written for or inspired by the American Jewish experience. Through discussions with contemporary Jewish composers and performers during the 1980s, I realized that while much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifically Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve, and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music was founded in 1990. This project would unite the Jewish people’s eternal love of music with their commitment to education, a commitment shared by the Milken Family Foundation since our founding in 1982. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles, and recording producers has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain, and inspire people of all faiths and cultures.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: COMPOSITIONS FOR FLUTE BY AMERICAN STUDENTS OF NADIA BOULANGER Jessica Guinn Dunnavant, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor William Montgomery School of Music Throughout the twen tieth century, young American composers made a pilgrimage across the Atlantic Ocean to study their craft with Nadia Boulanger (1887- 1979). Many of them wrote substantial, interesting works for flute, and this dissertation focuses on performances of a selection of those compositions. Boulanger’s life is well documented, as is her reputation for helping her students find their own musical voices. In this project she serves as a lens through which three generations of American composers may be viewed. This to pic brings together a wide variety of flute music in almost every style imaginable. A selection of music to perform was made because the amount of music far exceeds the amount of available performance time. A list of Nadia Boulanger’s American students was primarily derived from the website nadiaboulanger.org and from composers listed in the two editions of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. These lists are far from comprehensive and other notable flute composers have been added. The followin g is an alphabetical list of the works that were performed: Alexander’s Monody, Amlin’s Sonata , Bassett’s Illuminations, Berlinski’s Sonata , Carter’s Scrivo in Vento , Cooper’s Sonata , Copland’s Duo, Dahl’s Variations on a Swedish Folktune, Diamond’s Sonata , Erb’s Music for Mother Bear, Finney’s Two Ballades , Glass’s Serenade, Kraft’s A Single Voice , La Montaine’s Sonata , Lewis’s Monophony I, Mekeel’s The Shape of Silence , Piston’s Sonata , Pasatieri’s Sonata , Rorem’s Mountain Song, and Thomson’s Sonata .
