For Tamara of their daughter and me, our appreciation of Israeli food encompasses a slightly wider variety. On a more serious note, we are grateful for the State of Israel, AVA where we connected with our Jewish past, present, and future. We feel blessed to be living in a time when we have a Jewish State, a place where Jews can immigrate, or visit, and experience a thriving Jewish nation, filled with moving religious experi- ences, exciting cultural events, and amazing technological advancements.

T: 516-767-1708 F: 516-944-6461 Our tradition teaches us that there www.tbiport.org are many character traits we should possess, or work to incorporate into Rabbi our lives. One of the most important Michael Mishkin of those traits is gratitude.

When we are feeling grateful, we are also more likely to Jen Latner thank other people for the good they do for us. Vice President, Communications Eric Letuchy When we wake up in the morning, the first thing we are supposed to do is Treasurer NOT think about what we’re going to wear, our to-do list, or our first cup of coffee Andrew Silver (although that’s important); instead, we are supposed to think about how lucky we Financial Secretary are that we woke up and that we have another day to live our lives, love our fam- John Teeger ily and friends, enjoy things that make us happy, and be productive. That is why Corresponding Secretary David Cooper the very first prayer we are supposed to say, when we wake up in the morning, is Recording Secretary called Modeh Ani. The prayer could have been written to say, Ani modeh (modah, Susan Levbin for a female), which would mean, “I am thankful.” But instead, it’s written Modeh Trustees (Modah) ani, which means “Grateful am I.” Why is this significant? Because the Alan Doubert Jack Mishan Mark Fridman Lane Palmer first word on our lips is “Grateful.” We should wake up and reflect on our gratitude.

Halona Jaffe Mike Smolow Helene Hechtkopf Andrew Sollinger Going back to the topic of Israel, there are a lot of people in Israel and outside Laura Landau Scott Tashlik Israel that help make it thrive. One group I’d like thank are the soldiers in the IDF, Jenny Markman Alison White Jill Mellow the Israeli Defense Forces. The soldiers in the IDF risk their lives, every day, to keep Trustees Emeritus Israel safe in a very hostile neighborhood. However, it’s easy to take the soldiers for Elkan Abramowitz Joel Greenblatt granted — except during times of conflict — because they are behind the scenes. Saul Muchnick Nathan Alterman, a 20th Century Israeli poet and journalist was sensitive to the Sisterhood Presidents fact that the soldiers’ efforts could be taken for granted. Five months before the Alisa Schindler and Michelle Mondschein War of Independence, Alterman described the soldiers of the Palmach (the precur- Men’s Club Presidents Jon Brooks and Michael Nerenberg sor to the IDF) as “the silver platter, which [would] deliver the Jewish State to the Immediate Past President Jewish people.” It’s a beautiful image, but it’s also troubling because, when a valu- Matthew Engel able object is delivered on a silver tray, we think about the object, and disregard the Synagogue Director tray, upon which it sits. By using this imagery, Alterman is telling us, do not forget Cathy Seldin how the Jewish State will come into being. Do not forget the efforts, sacrifices, and Director of Education and Engagement Anya Morgulis courage that will be necessary to make the Jewish State a reality.

  • Taken by an Unknown 17-Year-Old Photography Student – Published Posthumously for the First Time in a New Limited Edition Publication, Woodstock Experience
    UNSEEN ARCHIVE OF WOODSTOCK IMAGES UNEARTHED Taken by an unknown 17-year-old photography student – published posthumously for the first time in a new limited edition publication, Woodstock Experience. London August 2009: A forgotten archive of photographs, taken at the Woodstock Music & Art Fair 40 years ago has been unearthed by UK-based limited edition publishers Genesis Publications. Taken by 17-year-old high school student Dan Garson, the archive has spent the last four decades in a basement, stored in a cardboard box. As well as images of the mud, rain, trampled fences, drugs, skinny dippers and eccentric festival goers that have made Woodstock so iconic, the archive features previously unseen shots of Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Ravi Shankar, Arlo Guthrie and The Band in performance. Rona Elliot, the former entertainment correspondent for NBC!s Today Show, worked at Woodstock as a community relations officer and helped track down Dan Garson!s archive and researched his story. RONA ELLIOT: Dan!s remarkable photographs reveal an exceptional talent, fully formed at 17 years of age. His pictures provide a cohesive narrative of his own Woodstock experience. They demonstrate that he understood, perfectly, both where he was at that moment in time, and the culturally shifting spectacle he was recording. While Dan worked in the photo pit, shooting the musicians onstage, he separated himself from the other photographers. Rather than huddle together with the group, Dan stationed himself adjacent to the film crew. As a result, his images are both unfamiliar and fresh to the eye nearly 40 years after they were taken.

  • Woodstock Festival ´69
    Woodstock Festival ´69 The Woodstock Music and Art Festival was a rock music festival at Max Yasgur´s 600 acre (2.4km2) dairy farm in town of Bethel, New York between 15 August and 18 August 1969. It might be the most famous rock concert and festival ever held. For many, it showed the counterculture of the 1960´s and the “Hippie movement”. Many of the most famous musicians at the time showed up during the weekend, as can be seen in a 1970 movie called Woodstock. Joni Mitchell´s song “Woodstock”, about the event, also became a major hit song for Crosby, Stills, and Nash & Young. In recent years, a number of attempts were made to recreate it, but the original Woodstock´69 has proven to be legendary. The Festival was Called “Woodstock”, because “Woodstock Ventures” an investment company had put money into the concert, it was supposed to be in the town of Wallkill, in Ulster County; but the town would not give a place for such a large event, because they thought that over a million people would come. A place was found in the town of Bethel, Max Yasgur let the concert happen on the family´s dairy farm. Although the show was planned for as many as 200.000 fans, over 400.000 came; most of these did not pay to get in. The roads to the concert were jammed with traffic. People left their cars and walked for miles to get the concert area. The weekend was rainy and overcrowded, and fans shared food, alcoholic drinks, and drugs.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FILM-VIDEO AND MEDIA STUDIES AUTHENTICITY AND COMMUNITY IN THE POSTMODERN SPECTACLE LOLLAPALOOZA AS ALTERNATIVE REPRESENTATION CREIG SMITH Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Telecommunications with honors in Media Studies Reviewed and approved by the following: C. Michael Elavsky Assistant Professor of Media Studies Thesis Supervisor Jeanne Hall Associate Professor of Media Studies Honors Adviser Matt Jackson Associate Professor and Head of Department of Telecommunications Additional Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ABSTRACT This paper broadly examines notions of authenticity and community as they intersect in the music industry, particularly through the concept of the music festival. In seeking to understand these concepts‟ relation to society, the paper briefly overviews some of the tenets of the theory of postmodernism that underlie notions of authenticity and community. These ideas often come in conflict with the dominant, spectacular representations in society. Next, in trying to apply these concepts as represented in the idea of the music festival, it maps the early framework of the original Lollapalooza festivals as notable breaks in the spectacle, defining authenticity and community in an era otherwise indifferent to those concepts. With its antecedent clearly mapped, the paper then examines the role of the reincarnated Lollapalooza festivals and its possibilities to expand on the original‟s framework. Arguing that the new Lollapalooza reveals the ways in which the alternative can be collapsed into the larger spectacle, the paper finally examines the corporate censorship of 2007 headliner Pearl Jam, and how this act stands as antithetical to the original festivals‟ intentions.

  • The Last Bedraggled Fan Sloshed out of Max Yasgur's Muddy Pasture More Than 25 Years Ago. That's When the Debate Began About Woodstock's Historical Significance
    The last bedraggled fan sloshed out of Max Yasgur's muddy pasture more than 25 years ago. That's when the debate began about Woodstock's historical significance. True believers still call Woodstock the capstone of an era devoted to human advancement. Cynics say it was a fitting, ridiculous end to an era of naivete. Then there are those who say it was just a hell of a party. The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969 drew more than 450,000 people to a pasture in Sullivan County. For four days, the site became a countercultural mini-nation in which minds were open, drugs were all but legal and love was "free". The music began Friday afternoon at 5:07pm August 15 and continued until mid-morning Monday August 18. The festival closed the New York State Thruway and created one of the nation's worst traffic jams. It also inspired a slew of local and state laws to ensure that nothing like it would ever happen again. Woodstock, like only a handful of historical events, has become part of the cultural lexicon. As Watergate is the codeword for a national crisis of confidence and Waterloo stands for ignominious defeat, Woodstock has become an instant adjective denoting youthful hedonism and 60's excess. "What we had here was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence," said Bethel town historian Bert Feldman. "Dickens said it first: 'It was the best of times. It was the worst of times'. It's an amalgam that will never be reproduced again." Gathered that weekend in 1969 were liars and lovers, prophets and profiteers.

    t$)"15&30/&t i*BMXBZTUIPVHIUJGZPVDPVMEESFBNJUVQ ZPVDPVMEQVMMJUUPHFUIFSw —Michael Lang JOHN R OBERTS: I went to the University of Pennsylvania with Joel’s brother, Douglas. And in the summer of 1966, Doug invited me out to his home in Huntington, Long Island, for a weekend of golf. We were joined on the golf course by Joel, and that was the way we met. That summer I was sort of up in the air about my plans. I was doing some graduate work at the Annenberg School of Communications in Philadelphia and I had a job down on Wall Street doing research for a small brokerage firm. I was pretty much up in the air about the Army. I was a reservist and I didn’t know when or if I would be called up. So I didn’t know what long-range plans I could make and I had no idea where I should live; Annenberg is in Philadelphia and Wall Street is in New York. I decided to take an apartment in New York and commute to Philadelphia and bunk in with a friend down in Philadelphia for the two or three nights I had to be there. By coincidence, Joel had just graduated from law school and was starting work as a lawyer in New York and was looking for an apartment. So we talked about sharing an apartment. JOEL ROSENMAN: It was instantly a good relationship because he was able to give me so much help in my golf game. He was able to show me how to stand and correct my grip and realign my shots—generally offer a lot of sarcastic encouragement when I duck-hooked into the woods.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jenna Spector/Susan Blond, Inc. 212.333.7728 x103 [email protected] IMAGINE “2 DAYS OF LOVE & MUSIC” ON SEPTEMBER 4TH & 5TH with the Father of Woodstock ‘69, Artie Kornfeld The ‘Spirit’ of Woodstock ‘69 Returns July 6, 2010 (Toronto, Canada) – “Imagine all the people, living life in peace” are words written by John Lennon nearly 40 years ago. Today, 41 years after Woodstock ‘69, Co-creator and Father of Woodstock, Artie Kornfeld has a similar message. “What we imagine today will turn into tomorrow’s reality,” says Kornfeld. I look forward to seeing everyone come together at IMAGINE in 2010 to join hands in this show of unity; with a purpose for a better, kinder world for our children and grandchildren than what they are now looking at. It is up to all of us to change the seeds of violence that erupted at the G20 Summit in the recent weeks and create peace for all. We may not make the definitive difference but we will start the change.” On Saturday, September 4 th and Sunday, September 5 th , Artie Kornfeld along with visionary artist David Kam will host IMAGINE “2 DAYS OF LOVE & MUSIC,” a LOVE-IN festival at Downsview Park in Toronto. It is not surprising to organizers that far before any announcement of a music line up, excited festival followers continue to blog on social networks in preparation to travel miles from around the world to be at this important event. “It was the ‘spirit’ and the ‘people’ that made Woodstock that summer of ‘69 and it will be the ‘spirit,’ the ‘people’ and the ‘desire for a new positive world’ that will make IMAGINE 2010,” says Kornfeld.
