Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik are both eccentric professors, who have dedicated their lives to their work in Talmudic Studies. The father, Eliezer, is a stubborn purist who fears the establishment and has never been recognized for his work. Meanwhile his son, Uriel, is an up-and-coming star in the field, who appears to feed on accolades, endlessly seeking recognition. Then one day, the tables turn. When Eliezer learns that he is to be awarded the Israel Prize, the most valuable honor for scholarship in the country, his vanity and desperate need for validation are exposed.

It also proposes a theoretical intervention through the elaboration of the framework of livability, through which I explore the life-stakes and the political investment entailed in dancing within the specific context of Israel, in relation to its larger ideological tensions and political shifts.

  • THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT 2 1 Mark Tessler
    THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT 2 1 Mark Tessler any assume, quite mistakenly, that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a centuries-old Mfeud based on ancient religious antagonisms between Jews and Muslims. This is not correct. The circumstances of Jews in Muslim lands were for the most part proper; indeed, Muslim-Jewish relations were often cordial and friendly. There were instances of hostility or even violence directed at Jewish minorities, but these were the exception; in general, Jews fared much better in the Muslim world than they did in the Christian West.distribute The Israeli- Palestinian conflict did not take shape until the end of the nineteenth century. Slow to emerge even then, it resulted from claims to the same territory by competing ornationalist movements. EMERGENCE OF THE CONFLICT In making the case for a Jewish national home in Palestine, Zionists begin by pointing to the existence of Jewish kingdoms in the territory during biblical times. Biblical record and archaeological evidence indicate that the Jews conquered and began to settle Palestine, known in the Bible as the land of Canaan,post, during the thirteenth century before the Christian era (BCE). Moses had given the Israelites political organization and led them out of Egypt, bringing them to the country’s borders. Thereafter, under Joshua, they initiated a prolonged military campaign in which they gradually took control of the territory and made it their home. By the twelfth century BCE, the period of Judges, the Jews were firmly established in ancient Palestine, and the area of their control included substantial tracts of territory on both sides of the Jordan River.

  • Pression and Stance Against Oppression Are Reasons Why I Chose Him As an Artistic Partner." – Marilyn Manson
    72 minutes, color, HDCam and ProRes, Stereo, 16:9, 2011 FIRST RUN FEATURES The Film Center Building 630 Ninth Ave. #1213, New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600 / [email protected] www.firstrunfeatures.com Synopsis Gottfried Helnwein and the Dreaming Child is a feature documentary about the world famous Austrian artist, Gottfried Helnwein, and his contentious role as Production Designer for a never before seen opera in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2010. A violent production, The Child Dreams was written by Israel’s most famous playwright, that late Hanoch Levin, and portrays the hopes and dreams of children in search of freedom and peace. For Helnwein, the child has always been the symbol of innocence and innocence betrayed, and this motif runs through much of his work. Helnwein grew up in Vienna in the post-WWII era, and he was greatly affected by the feeling that something unbelievably terrible had happened in Austria. But the Holocaust was not spoken of or even acknowledged by the Viennese, a criminal silence that continues to haunt Helwein. The conflict Helnwein encounters in Israel emerges from his unyielding desire to maintain the original idea of Levin’s work. Levin specifically states in his libretto that the opera requires a small child who would portray the dreaming child throughout the opera. However, the Israeli Opera’s creative team casts a woman to play the child. This and several other disagreements escalate into an unsettling dispute featuring a Viennese artist raging against Israeli production staff, a dispute captured intimately in this compelling documentary. A scene from the opera The Child Dreams About Gottfried Helnwein Gottfried Helnwein was born in Vienna, Austria.
