In this article the Sefer, the quintessence of the Jewish identity, will be analyzed also as it is perceived in many Jewsh communities and in literature as a person, as a human being, male or female, a human being that deserves to be treated as pure and sacred. A perception that has been very elaborated in an interesting tale of Agnon, Haggadat ha sofer (The legend of the scribe), a tale that will be considered here. 1 Maurice Halbwachs ([1950] 1968, p. 16) has already pointed out that a religious group needs to refer to an object, to an aspect of reality which is durable and not given to change as institutions and customs will alter and ideas will move on but the object will remain as it is. Hence objects acquire an especially important status because they are destined to stand the test of time. We know that in Judaism, the Sefer (in many communities the Torah scroll is known only as the Sefer), the Book par excellence, has become not only the object that embodies the durability of the Jewish religious faith but also the place, the symbolic territory that has replaced the Temple and the real territory at a time when both have disappeared. Indeed the Sefer has turned into the «place» of Jewish identity par excellence. What I intend to argue in this article is that the Sefer, aside from being the quintessence of the Jewish identity, can also be perceived as a person, as a human being, male or female, a human being that deserves to be treated as pure and sacred. A perception that has found a form of literary representation in an interesting tale of Agnon Haggadat ha sofer (The Legend of the Scribe) ([1919] 1978).1 This paper has been presented with slight differences in the international conference on The Jewish Book: Histories, Media, Metaphors, Venice, Ca’ Foscari University, 9-12 June 2013. 1 See also the translation (Agnon 2009). DOI 10.14277/2385-3042/1p 5 5 Annali di Ca’ Foscari, 50, 2014, pp. 5-14 ISSN 2385-3042 In the Talmud Bavli it is written:2 «Rava said: How stupid most people are to rise before a Sefer Torah but not before an important man», mean- ing that already in the Talmud era the Sefer was honoured like a person, by rising to one’s feet, while scholars were not considered worthy enough of such an honour.3 What is more, the Talmud Babli contains a further passage allowing us to compare on the same footing the Sefer to a living person, where a person giving their last breath is likened to a Torah going up in flames.4 If ancient texts such as the Talmud lead us to perceive a symbolism in which the Torah can personify a human being, current traditions widely demonstrate how such an idea has been implemented in a number of prac- tices. Many examples show how the scroll of parchment receives the same treatment as a human being, often a royal figure, and how the different parts which comprise it are considered vital. We might mention that the Torah scroll consists of parchment rolled around two wooden poles, called ets hayyim, the tree of life, the living tree, something in any case to do with living. The scrolls must always be covered just as we cover a human being and are uncovered only at the mo- ment of reading, the time of unveiling and revelation, when nudity becomes necessary. The poles are dressed in precious fabrics and often adorned with silver finery. They are kept in a wooden case that opens like a door. The case containing the poles is itself wound in cloth and is dressed and embellished with a crown on top, as if it were a head to be crowned. The crown is set with rimonim, pomegranates, the symbols of fertility placed on top of the wooden polls, the ets hayyim. In the Yemen, the mantle covering the Torah case is called guftan, (the kaftan, the traditional male garment). The removal of the Sefer from the aron is greeted by the women of the Se- phardic community with palms held out towards the Sefer and this gesture is accompanied with celebratory yu yu.

  • The Exilic Literature of Iranian and Iraqi Jews
    Lost Homelands, Imaginary Returns – The Exilic Literature Of Iranian And Iraqi Jews Ella Shohat – Ills.: Joseph Sassoon Semah When I first contemplated my participation in the“Moments of Silence” conference, I wondered to what extent the question of the Arab Jew /Middle Eastern Jew merits a discussion in the context of the Iran- Iraq War. After all, the war took place in an era when the majority of Jews had already departed from both countries, and it would seem of little relevance to their displaced lives. Yet, apart from the war’s direct impact on the lives of some Jews, a number of texts have engaged the war, addressing it from within the authors’ exilic geographies where the war was hardly visible. And, precisely because these texts were written in contexts of official silencing of the Iran-Iraq War, their engagement of the war is quite striking. For displaced authors in the United States, France, and Israel, the Iran-Iraq War became a kind of a return vehicle to lost homelands, allowing them to vicariously be part of the events of a simultaneously intimate and distant geography. Thus, despite their physical absence from Iraq and Iran, authors such as Nissim Rejwan, Sami Michael, Shimon Ballas, and Roya Hakakian actively participate in the multilingual spaces of Iranian and Iraqi exilic literature. Here I will focus on the textual role of war in the representation of multi-faceted identities, themselves shaped by the historical aftermath of wars, encapsulated in memoirs and novels about Iraq and Iran, and written in languages that document new stops and passages in the authors’ itineraries of belonging.

  • Tufts Arabic Program Presents: Layali Cinema
    Tufts Arabic Program Presents: Layali Cinema Layali Cinema this year aims to shed light on the diversity and complexity of the Middle East, telling stories ranging from the Jewish community of Iraq, to the Amazigh/Berber populations of North Africa, the Druze and Christian communities of the Levant, the Kurds, and more. September 21 Forget Baghdad is a reflection about the stereotypes of “Jew” and “Arab” through one 7:30pm Olin 11 hundred years of film, told through the personal stories of four Iraqi Jewish communists. The protagonists are Shimon Ballas, a writer and professor of Arabic studies living between Tel Aviv and Paris; the best‐selling Israeli author Sami Michael; Moshe Houri, a real estate developer; and Samir Naqqash, an author who writes exclusively in Arabic. October 26 7:30pm Olin 11 Set in the Golan Heights, The Syrian Bride follows Mona (Clara Khoury), an Arab Druze woman about to be married to a Syrian soap opera star. Once she crosses from the Israeli‐occupied Golan Heights into Syria, she will be unable to ever return, forcing her to leave her family and the life she had behind. November 15 7:30pm Olin 11 West Beirut is set in April 1975, as civil war breaks out in the cosmopolitan city known as the “Paris of the Middle East”. The Lebanese capital quickly divides along Muslim‐Christian lines into East and West. Tarek, an easygoing high school student passionate about filmmaking, doesn’t take the fighting seriously at first. Schools are closed, the violence is fascinating, and sneaking across no man’s land to the other side is a game.

  • Tidal Creek Buffer Information Packet
    Dear New Neighbor, Welcome to the neighborhood! We hope that you find the Lowcountry as beautiful and enjoyable as we do. We are the Lowcountry Stormwater Partners, or LSP for short. The LSP is a partnership between the Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service, local government, and other organizations that work to educate communities on ways to keep our waterways healthy, fishable, and swimmable. We’re reaching out to discuss the gem of our region, the salt marsh. The salt marsh provides us with many benefits including a thriving commercial fishery, wildlife habitat, and water filtration. It also protects us from storm effects and flooding. To continue enjoying these benefits, we must protect the salt marsh from polluted stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff becomes polluted when it flows over materials like excess fertilizer, pet waste, and litter. Stormwater runoff can pick up these pollutants and bring them to the nearest waterway. One of the best ways to protect our salt marshes is to maintain a vegetated buffer (land preceding the salt marsh filled with native plant life). Buffers can benefit the saltmarsh and your home by: • reducing stormwater runoff and shoreline erosion • providing increased privacy while maintaining view corridors and wildlife habitat • saving money as this area requires little to no water, fertilizers, or pesticides Many local governments in our area have ordinances related to activities in the buffer area. To help you understand and protect your buffer, we’ve created and attached a small information packet. This packet contains: • The Life Along the Saltmarsh: Protecting Tidal Creeks with Vegetative Buffers factsheet • Backyard Buffers from the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control • An additional native plant list for expanded design options • An example buffer design with plant cost information • Contact information for local buffer ordinances If you have any questions about buffers or protecting water quality, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Rabkin* 第二次大戦時に大量のユダヤ人避難民を受け入れたイスラエルは、1946 年の建 国時には共産主義的な社会改革思想に基づくキブツ運動などの左翼的思潮を国家 建設の支柱にしていたが、その後の政治過程のなかで一貫して右傾化の方向をたど り、現在では国際的にみても最も保守的な軍事主義的思想傾向が国民のあいだで広 く共有され、国内のアラブ系住民の経済的従属が永く固定化するに至った。 現在のイスラエル国家を思想的にも実体経済的にも支えている基本的な理念は、 建国時のそれとは全く対極的な新保守主義とグローバル化された「新自由主義」的な 資本主義であり、それは当然ながら国内における安価な労働力としてのアラブ系住民 の存在を所与の前提条件として組み込んでいる。 これは具体的にどのような経緯によるものであり、またイスラエル国家のどのような性 格から導き出されるものなのか。本論稿では政治的シオニズムがイスラエル建国後か ら現在までにたどってきた思想的な系譜を改めて確認し、現在のイスラエルが国際的 に置かれている特異な立場とその背後にある諸要因を説明する。 * Professor of History, University of Montreal. His two recent books are: A Threat from Within: A Century of Jewish Opposition to Zionism (Palgrave Macmillan/Zed Books) that appeared in fifteen languges and and Compendre l’État d’Israël (Écosociété). Both have been published in Japanese by Heibonsha. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: ISRAEL’S REPOSITIONING IN THE WORLD In its pioneer years, Israel 1 was largely associated with the leftist ideas of collective endeavour and socialist solidarity. Early Israeli elites often came from the kibbutz and were vocal in their allegiance to social justice and equality. This, in turn, brought them admiration and support from socialists around the world. Few noticed that while praised by the left, Israeli society was steadily moving to right. Nowadays Israel has earned the admiration of the right and the extreme right in most Western countries. This paper should explain this apparently puzzling transformation in the international position of this small country in Western Asia.
