  • 1 Lahiton [email protected]
    Lahiton [email protected] 1 Lahiton magazine was founded in 1969 by two partners, Uri Aloni and David Paz, and was funded by an investment from Avraham Alon, a Ramlah nightclub owner and promoter. Uri Aloni was a pop culture writer and rabid music fan while David Paz, another popular music enthusiast, was an editor who knew his way around the technical side of print production. The name “Lahiton,” reportedly invented by entertainers Rivka Michaeli and Ehud Manor, combines the Hebrew words for hit, “lahit” and newspaper, “iton.” Lahiton [email protected] 2 Uri Aloni cites the British fan magazines Melody Maker and New Music Express as influences; (Eshed 2008) while living in London and writing for the pop music columns of Yediot Ahronot and La-Isha, he would lift editorial content and photos from the latest British pop magazines, write articles, then find an Israel-bound traveler at the London airport to transport the articles into the hands of his editors. In Lahiton’s early days, Aloni and Paz continued this practice (Edut 2014). Eventually, however Lahiton’s flavor became uniquely secular Israeli. Although in 1965 the Beatles were famously denied permission to perform in Israel (Singer 2015), by the time Lahiton got started in 1969 there was no stemming the tide; the international pop music scene had permeated Israel’s insular and conservative culture. At the time there were no other Hebrew publications that covered what was going on both at home and in America and Europe. Lahiton began as a bimonthly publication, but within the first year, when press runs of 5000 copies sold out on a regular basis, Paz and Aloni turned it into a weekly.

Tänk dig ett diagram: det går upp, upp, upp och så en liten raksträcka. Därefter ner, ner, ner. Och ner. Bilder och annat finns att beskåda på kimmilrell.se. Njut nu! Kim Milrell, Stockholm 1 januari 2010 (det nya årtalet känns lite perverst att skriva). 1 Dagens mail 1 januari Det hela började med ett mail… I promise I won’t sleep with anyone else for twelve months from our first date if we are together… :-) After that you will have to move here and keep an eye on me. :-) I wish I could spend the evening and night with you. Kissing, feeling and touching you. Talking and smoking together. Spending time. Having a walk hand in hand. /superduperhunk, 37, Tel Aviv Svar: Smoking? Människor utvecklas 1 januari Jag hade en väldigt jobbig typ i min högstadieklass. En sån där ondskefull person som naturligtvis var väldigt rasistisk (och gärna delade med sig av sina vanföreställningar). Nu hamnade jag av en slump på hans Facebooksida och noterade att han var medlem i klubbar som “jag lovar att inte tiga när nån säger nåt rasistiskt”. En fin start på 09! 2 Vad är problemet? 2 januari Nu ska vi tala om det där communityt som är det enda stället man kan träffa någon på. Man träffar inte kärleken på ICA (man vill inte riskera att bli misshandlad till döds) och inte via vänner (man känner redan alla deras vänner och bekanta) och sannerligen inte på krogen (de är så upptagna med att inte verka tillgängliga).

  • La Grande Festa Europea Della Musica
    Guida all'EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2012 a cura di Emanuele Lombardini e Alessandro Pigliavento LA GRANDE FESTA EUROPEA DELLA MUSICA Immaginatevi una grande festa, dove ognuno porta la propria musica per condividerla con gli altri. Oppure, per fare un paragone calcistico, immaginatevi la squadra campione nazionale (in questo caso l’artista) che viene invitata a prendere parte alla Champions League. L’Eurovision Song Contest (questa la sua denominazione ufficiale: noi italiani l’abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson) in fondo è un po’ questo: il campionato d’Europa della musica. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti 42 paesi aderenti all’ente organizzatore, la Ebu (European Broadcasting Union), cioè il consorzio che riunisce le televisioni pubbliche d’Europa, ma anche alcune del bacino del Mediterraneo fuori dal nostro Continente. L’idea venne nel 1956 a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio: un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente. Da allora, nel corso degli anni, la manifestazione è cresciuta in maniera costante, passando da evento da teatri e auditorium per un ristretto numero di spettatori a festa popolare. Dalla metà degli anni 90, quando la manifestazione comincia ad approdare nei palasport, negli stadi e nelle arene, l’Eurovision Song Contest è diventato un vero e proprio kolossal paneuropeo.

Wornick Jewish Day School 75 YEARS BEYOND LIBERATION Many nations observe remembrance of the Holocaust based on the January 1945 liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau by the Russian forces. Other Allied forces liberated various camps throughout Europe during the next few months, through the first week of May. There are documentaries and reports about camp liberation – Eisenhower famously demanded documentation so no one could deny the existence of the atrocities. But survivors were not just found in concentration, death, and labor camps. They came out of the woods, out of hiding places both simple (barns) and organized (convents and orphanages). Survival was measured as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. The trauma could not immediately be dealt with; first a focus on gaining physical strength and then a search for family members. Many committed to building a new life in America; others found solace and meaning in Zionism and arrived in then-Palestine.

  • Descargar Revista Diálogo Judeo-Cristiano
    EDITORIAL La actual epidemia del CoVid 19 a nivel mundial ha ralentizado la actividad de toda la sociedad, todos nos vemos afectados. Aquí en Valencia, las conferencias presenciales han sido suspendidas, tan sólo por webinar podemos realizar alguna actividad. En esta revista, un artículo de Israel Jamitosvky, enviado desde Eretz, otro sobre David Flusser, el gran investigador israelí sobre cristianismo, el texto de la reciente conferencia Fascinación por lo judío y un artículo sobre la participación de Israel en los festivales de Eurovisión. Estos meses de encierro, a nivel personal, me han servido para dedicarme a la lectura del Epistolario de San Jerónimo y su correspondencia con San Agustín. Ambos Santos Padres de la Iglesia mantuvieron una polémica que puede ser de interés para los socios de la Amistad Judeo Cristiana ya que se trata de relaciones judeo-cristianas del siglo IV. Por ello me he permitido escribir un resumen de dichas cartas. Lo primero que sorprende al leer las cartas de Jerónimo es la agresividad de su lenguaje con sus opositores, poco acorde con lo que cabe esperar de un escritor que está canonizado, la caridad evangélica y una comprensión de las posturas opuestas esta notoriamente ausente. Lo segundo es su estilo literario; es un maestro de la retórica, las frases están construidas con un notable ingenio y una brillantez poco común; todo ello sorprende y desconcierta a un lector que por primera vez, se encuentra con Jerónimo; te hace descubrir una personalidad fuerte, que por la lectura de otras cartas, esta vez dedicadas a sus amistades íntimas, denotan un carácter con un interior más sensible.
