    WESTERN WALL ַה ּכֹו ֶתל ַה ַּמ ַעָר ִבי The Western Wall, known as the Kotel, is revered as the holiest site for the Jewish people. A part of the outer retaining wall of the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, it is the place closest to the ancient Holy of Holies, where only the Kohanim— —Jewish priests were allowed access. When Israel gained independence in 1948, Jordan controlled the Western Wall and all of the Old City of Jerusalem; the city was reunified in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Western Wall is considered an Orthodox synagogue by Israeli authorities, with separate prayer spaces for men and women. A mixed egalitarian prayer area operates along a nearby section of the Temple’s retaining wall, raising to the forefront contemporary ideas of religious expression—a prime example of how Israel navigates between past and present. SITES AND INSIGHTS theicenter.org SHUK ׁשוּק Every Israeli city has an open-air market, or shuk, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothing, appliances, and souvenirs. There’s no other place that feels more authentically Israeli than a shuk on Friday afternoon, as seemingly everyone shops for Shabbat. Drawn by the freshness and variety of produce, Israelis and tourists alike flock to the shuk, turning it into a microcosm of the country. Shuks in smaller cities and towns operate just one day per week, while larger markets often play a key role in the city’s cultural life. At night, after the vendors go home, Machaneh Yehuda— —Jerusalem’s shuk, turns into the city’s nightlife hub.

  • Eurovisión Y Geopolítica
    EUROVISIÓN Y GEOPOLÍTICA Samuel Antón Chivo 1.- La sombra de la guerra El verano de 1945 llegaba a su fin y con él la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Europa se había quedado en nada y, en solo treinta años, habían tropezado dos veces con la misma piedra. Las consecuencias del conflicto fueron numerosas. Las ciudades quedaron inhabilitadas y los pueblos destruidos. Los daños humanos fueron superiores a los daños materiales. Cerca de treinta y siete millones de europeos sufrieron en su propia carne la explotación y la esclavitud que sus antepasados habían proporcionado a las poblaciones indígenas siglos atrás. Además, el cincuenta y dos por ciento de esos treinta y siete millones eran civiles no combatientes. El primer paso hacia la paz fue la Carta del Atlántico de 1941, seguida de la Conferencia de San Francisco por la cual surgía Naciones Unidas, que pretendía alcanzar la paz mundial. Además, Samuel Antón gracias a la Conferencia de Breton Woods se crearon organismos para regular la economía financiera como, por ejemplo, el Banco Internacional de Reconstrucción y Fomento, el Banco Mundial o el Fondo Monetario Internacional. Entre el 4 y el 11 de febrero de 1945, se reunieron Stalin, Churchill y Roosevelt en el Palacio de Livadia, cerca de Yalta, en la península de Crimea, para negociar las zonas de ocupación en la Alemania Occidental. No se olvidaron de Francia, que recibió su parte correspondiente. Este asunto terminó de concretarse en la Conferencia de Postdam entre el diecisiete de julio y el dos de agosto de ese mismo año. Se decidió dividir Berlín en dos1.

POWER OF MUSIC V The past month in Jewish history and in our calendar has been momentous. We experienced Israel’s 70th anniversary, celebrated in several excellent events in our community, the 51st anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, and the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In the midst of all this euphoria, what might have escaped your attention is Israel’s winning the prestigious Eurovision song contest on May 12th 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal. That night in our Jewish calendar - the 28th of Iyar, commemorates the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six Day War of 1967. This is the fourth time Israel has won Eurovision, one of the world’s most famous international song contests. The winning song “Toy”, a pop anthem about female independence, was performed by 25 year old Netta Barzilai, accompanied by her signature “chicken dance.” Netta had placed third by the official judges, but won thanks to tele-voters from around the world catapulting her to victory. Hours before the victory, Israeli superstar film actress Gal Gadot had urged her twenty million Instagram followers to vote for Israel’s entry. Including words like “I’m not your toy you stupid boy...,” it was influenced by the #MeToo movement. The Eurovision contest has often been embroiled in political and religious controversies, although politically tinged songs are unofficially disallowed.

    >> Welcome to the podcast series of Raising the Bar Sydney. Raising the Bar in 2019 saw 21 University of Sydney academics take their research out of the lecture theatre and into bars across Sydney all on one night. In this podcast, you hear Anika Gouja’s talk The Politics of Eurovision. Enjoy the talk. [ Applause ] >> Good evening, Sorry Hill’s. [ Applause ] I’m just taking a very quick look at who’s in the audience so I can work out what I can and can’t say tonight. The results of the latest Eurovision fan survey were released today. Did anyone see those on social media? Okay. It’s a survey of Eurovision fans in Australia and overseas. And the Australian results showed that the typical Eurovision fan is aged 18-24, male. [ Laughter ] Part of the LGTBQI community, and is single. So if you’re not interested in politics, I don’t know why you’re here. [ Laughter ] I’ll wait for it. So I’m going to take you back to May 13, 2018. It’s 8:30 AM and I’ve been awake for more than 24 hours. I watched the delayed broadcast of the Eurovision first semifinal, the delayed broadcast of the Eurovision second semifinal. I watched the, you know, 50 Years of Eurovision documentary special. And I watched whatever ABBA retrospective was available. And that took me up to the grand final, 5:00 AM. I was at a Eurovision party with a group of friends like I am every single year. And the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, Netta Barzilai with her song Toy was announced.

  • Israel Has Been Home to a Renaissance of Jewish Culture
    INTRODUCTION Israel celebrates its 70th birthday this year, 2018, on 19 April. After 2,000 years of exile and persecution, the Jewish people have made up for lost time now that they finally have a state of their own again. Israel has flourished in its first 70 years of statehood and achieved more than many far older countries. Here are 70 of Israel’s achievements we are highlighting – from the sublime and world changing to the small but important: ISRAEL HAS ACHIEVED ITS CORE MISSION OF PROVIDING A STATE FOR THE JEWS WHERE THEY CAN BE FREE FROM PERSECUTION Israel, the only Jewish state, is open to all Jews. It serves as a lifeboat state for Jews from around the world. It provided refuge for many European Jews after the Holocaust, with 25% of the population in the 1960s being Holocaust survivors. If the Jewish people had had a state of their own in the 1930s, many more Jews would have been saved from the Holocaust. Israel survived an attack by 4 neighboring armies when it declared Independence in 1948. Israel has achieved peace with both Egypt and Newly formed Israel built an army to Jordan after multiple wars. defend itself with 50% of the soldiers being Holocaust survivors. In 1979 Israel withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula in return for normalising relations and demilitarisation of the Sinai. This agreement ended any prospect of another general Arab-Israeli war and has been a cornerstone of regional stability for nearly 40 years. Israel and Jordan signed a peace agreement in 1994. Not only did Israel achieve a successful emergency rescue of 14,500 Ethiopian Jews, nearly the entire Jewish population of Ethiopia, in under 36 hours, but it also broke the world record of carrying the most passengers on a 747 or any flying vehicle in the world.
