Film fest director Jill Ziplow was calling to confirm what we all knew had become inevitable: the 2020 film fest screens would be going dark. I later recorded 9:41AM on March 12 as the moment the pandemic became real to me. Fast forward a year, and we have the resources to produce a virtual festival. I am delighted to be directing the 2021 Hartford Jewish Film Fest, our 25th anniversary. The nine films remaining from 2020, selected by Jill; my fellow co-chairs Michael Fishman, Avinoam Patt, and Richard Order; and our dedicated committee, will be interspersed this year with ten additional films. All 19 will be shown through our virtual platform, Eventive. Each film will be available for three days, and you may watch when it is convenient. After you start a film, you will have 48 hours to finish it. The calendar is structured so you may watch all 19 films, and even take a few days off. I am personally grateful to Karen Wyckoff and David Jacobs for inviting me to direct this year’s festival, and to Avi Patt for his expertise. I appreciate the understanding of the Film Fest Committee that this wasn’t a usual year, and the selection process followed suit. Thank you to the committee members who sent encouraging notes, just as I was wondering what exactly I had undertaken! For teaching me so much along the way, which allowed us to cram six-eight months of work into four, I am indebted to former Directors Harriet Dobin and Jill Ziplow.

However, the strength and resilience of our community has allowed us to find ways to be together, while maintaining physical distance, sharing what we love. We were determined – much like many of the characters you will see on screen – to carry on. Through the films of the 2021 Hartford Jewish Film Festival, we will explore a range of aspects of Jewish life. We will view strength and resilience through love and laughter; we will admire the strength of those who came before us, honor their work, and be inspired to continue it. The love of a mother and daughter is the focus of Asia and Here We Are depicts the life of a father and autistic son. Two gay men, one a struggling film student and the other a New York Times travel writer visiting Tel Aviv, have much to teach each other about love and life in Sublet. Laugh with Latter Day Jew, as comedian H. Alan Scott converts from Mormonism to Judaism. Find out in Golden Voices what happens when you have a niche career and make Aliyah to Israel. Shiva can be difficult, and in Shiva Baby we find that adding a high school girlfriend and a current sugar daddy adds to that dynamic. Mossad brings slapstick humor to the Israeli national intelligence agency. We will learn from documentaries such as Advocate, which introduces us to Israeli human rights lawyer Lea Tsemel. City of Joel relates tensions between Kyrias Joel and the surrounding upstate New York community. The role of the Catholic Church during the Holocaust is the focus of Holy Silence. Shared Legacies discusses the relationship between the African American and Jewish communities during the Civil Rights era. Focusing on an evangelical community in Kentucky, ‘Til Kingdom Come examines the relationship between evangelicals and Israel. Dramas provide lessons, such as Incitement, a reenactment of the lead-up to the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, depicted through the eyes of his assassin. Our community is firmly committed to Holocaust education and continuing to fight antisemitism. My Name is Sara is based on the true-life story of Sara Góralnik, a 13 year-old Polish Jew who survived the Holocaust by pretending to be an Orthodox Christian. Those Who Remained takes place in post-war Hungary, as survivors try to heal. Family friendly, though subtitled: In The Crossing, four children travel from Norway to Sweden. When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is based on the semi-autobiographical book by Judith Kerr, and relates her family’s journey from 1933 Berlin to Switzerland, France, and eventually England. The behavior of viruses has become familiar to all of us in the past year, and VIRAL: Antisemitism in Four Mutations studies antisemitism through that lens. We get another viewpoint through the drama Thou Shalt Not Hate, in which a surgeon, the son of a Holocaust survivor, encounters a neo-Nazi car crash victim. We look forward to discussing these with you during our scheduled programs! 6 | www.hjff.org 25th Annual Mandell JCC Hartford Jewish Film Festival | 7 > How do I watch the movies on my TV? > Where do I buy my tickets? > When can I watch the films? > What if I don’t have a Smart TV? > Who can help me?

  • The Semitic Component in Yiddish and Its Ideological Role in Yiddish Philology

    The Semitic Component in Yiddish and Its Ideological Role in Yiddish Philology

    philological encounters � (�0�7) 368-387 brill.com/phen The Semitic Component in Yiddish and its Ideological Role in Yiddish Philology Tal Hever-Chybowski Paris Yiddish Center—Medem Library [email protected] Abstract The article discusses the ideological role played by the Semitic component in Yiddish in four major texts of Yiddish philology from the first half of the 20th century: Ysroel Haim Taviov’s “The Hebrew Elements of the Jargon” (1904); Ber Borochov’s “The Tasks of Yiddish Philology” (1913); Nokhem Shtif’s “The Social Differentiation of Yiddish: Hebrew Elements in the Language” (1929); and Max Weinreich’s “What Would Yiddish Have Been without Hebrew?” (1931). The article explores the ways in which these texts attribute various religious, national, psychological and class values to the Semitic com- ponent in Yiddish, while debating its ontological status and making prescriptive sug- gestions regarding its future. It argues that all four philologists set the Semitic component of Yiddish in service of their own ideological visions of Jewish linguistic, national and ethnic identity (Yiddishism, Hebraism, Soviet Socialism, etc.), thus blur- ring the boundaries between descriptive linguistics and ideologically engaged philology. Keywords Yiddish – loshn-koydesh – semitic philology – Hebraism – Yiddishism – dehebraization Yiddish, although written in the Hebrew alphabet, is predominantly Germanic in its linguistic structure and vocabulary.* It also possesses substantial Slavic * The comments of Yitskhok Niborski, Natalia Krynicka and of the anonymous reviewer have greatly improved this article, and I am deeply indebted to them for their help. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, ���7 | doi �0.��63/�45�9�97-��Downloaded34003� from Brill.com09/23/2021 11:50:14AM via free access The Semitic Component In Yiddish 369 and Semitic elements, and shows some traces of the Romance languages.
  • Jewish Humor and Commercial Entertainment in Twentieth-Century America and Central Europe

    Jewish Humor and Commercial Entertainment in Twentieth-Century America and Central Europe

    Jewish Humor and Commercial Entertainment in Twentieth-Century America and Central Europe Spring 2019 Mary Gluck Jewish Studies Program Central European University General Introduction: Jewish humor is universally celebrated for its wit and creativity. It is just as frequently criticized for its negative stereotypes of Jews. The seminar attempts to explain this contradiction by focusing on the complex historical function of Jewish humor in early twentieth-century America and Central Europe. It argues that Jewish humor in the modern period was both transgressive and integrative, challenging existing taboos and institutions, but also envisioning new social possibilities and cultural identities. These dual impulses found expression in a variety of forms, ranging from joke books, musical recordings, satirical magazines, jargon theaters, all the way to institutions of mass entertainment such as Vaudeville, music hall, Broadway and Hollywood. The course will explore these different manifestations of Jewish humor and ask how they created a new form of minority discourse that fostered inclusion even while emphasizing difference. The seminar will conclude with a look at contemporary iterations of Jewish humor in the work of Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Sarah Silverman, Sacha Baron Cohen and others. Requirements: Students are expected to come to class prepared to discuss the assigned readings. In addition, all students are required to make a presentation on a reading recommended for one of the weekly topics. Finally, students are asked to write a research paper of roughly 4,000 words on a topic of their choice, which is due at the end of the semester. The final paper should be linked to the themes discussed during the term.

ABSTRACT Jewish humor is a well-known, if ill-defined genre. The prevalence and success of Jewish comedians has been a point of pride for American Jews throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. What I undertake in this dissertation is to isolate one particular form of humor—namely satire—and use it as a way to analyze the changing relationship of American Jews to traditional religious forms. I look at the trends over three generations, the third generation (who came of age in the 40s and 50s), the Baby Boom generation (who came of age in the 60s and 70s) and the contemporary generation (who came of age in the 80s and 90s). When the satire produced by each generation is analyzed with the depiction of Judaism and Jewish practices in mind a certain pattern emerges. By then reading that pattern through Bill Brown’s Thing Theory it becomes possible to talk about the motivations for and effects of the change over time in a new way.
