Diverse Group Finds Unity on Trip to Israel the Jewish bserver www.jewishobservernashville.org Vol. 81 No. 5 • May 2016 23 Nisan-23 Iyyar 5776 Diverse group finds unity on trip to Israel hey were a diverse group – Reform and modern Orthodox, Conservative and Chabad – from all five of Nashville’s Jewish congregations, plus a few Tout-of-towners. Some were making their first visit to Israel. Others had been there many times before. Though part of a single mission, they often split up on different itineraries – one that included sights and experiences for first-time visitors to Israel, three others focusing on high tech, culture and cuisine; politics and security, and adventure. A few came early for a “deep dive” visit to agencies funded by the Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee. Some opted for a three-day extension that included an opportunity to participate in events marking the 20th anniversary of the Partnership2Gether program. But they also shared special moments Shortly after arriving in Jerusalem, members of the Nashville CommUNITY Trip to Israel were on their way to the Old City when together as a group – Shabbat prayers and they paused to recite the Shehecheyanu, the traditional Jewish prayer celebrating a special event.

  • “When in Doubt, Write a Hymn.” the Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter
    “When in doubt, write a hymn.” The award-winning singer-songwriter Marcus Hummon and his wife, Episcopal priest and founder of Thistle Farms, Becca Stevens, have written a wonderful book of reflections on Marcus’ cantata The Passion. Marcus and Becca look at the creative process of composing – especially a sacred text – and the scripture passages chosen to make up the cantata. Their reflections form a strong foundation for our own Holy Week prayer – and move us toward the joy of Easter with the final cut, “A New Song.” Commissioned by Christ Church Cathedral in Nashville, the score and a CD or mp3 recorded in Nashville are all available from Church Publishing. Here’s a bit of what Marcus has to say about the commission and his writing process. When I was commissioned by Christ Church Cathedral here in Nashville to write a cantata reflecting the last days of Jesus’s life, I wasn’t sure how to begin. First of all, my background is not in sacred music, but rather in popular country music. It just happens that while writing songs for the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, and others, I had started to dabble in writing music for the theater. As I wasn’t classically trained, I would need help from a friend of mine, David John Madore at the Hartt Conservatory of Music in Hartford, Connecticut, in transcribing the choral work I was arranging, and my friend Dr. Deen Entzminger and the Belmont Chamber Singers to bring the work to fruition, to full performance. I also asked Jonathan Yudkin to add his beautiful cello accompaniment.

  • Romantic Comedy-A Critical and Creative Enactment 15Oct19
    Romantic comedy: a critical and creative enactment by Toni Leigh Jordan B.Sc., Dip. A. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University June, 2019 Table of Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements iii Dedication iv Exegesis 1 Introduction 2 The Denier 15 Trysts and Turbulence 41 You’ve Got Influences 73 Conclusion 109 Works cited 112 Creative Artefact 123 Addition 124 Fall Girl 177 Our Tiny, Useless Hearts 259 Abstract For this thesis, I have written an exegetic complement to my published novels using innovative methodologies involving parody and fictocriticism to creatively engage with three iconic writers in order to explore issues of genre participation. Despite their different forms and eras, my subjects—the French playwright Molière (1622-1673), the English novelist Jane Austen (1775-1817), and the American screenwriter Nora Ephron (1941-2012)—arguably participate in the romantic comedy genre, and my analysis of their work seeks to reveal both genre mechanics and the nature of sociocultural evaluation. I suggest that Molière did indeed participate in the romantic comedy genre, and it is both gender politics and the high cultural prestige of his work (and the low cultural prestige of romantic comedy) that prevents this classification. I also suggest that popular interpretations of Austen’s work are driven by romanticised analysis (inseparable from popular culture), rather than the values implicit in the work, and that Ephron’s clever and conscious use of postmodern techniques is frequently overlooked. Further, my exegesis shows how parody provides a productive methodology for critically exploring genre, and an appropriate one, given that genre involves repetition—or parody—of conventions and their relationship to form.

  • Winter Supplement
    Humphreys College NEWSLETTER SUPPLEMENT WINTER QUARTER MARCH 2010 OUR INTERVIEW A CONFESSION OF A LUCKY GUY: “YOU GET OUT OF LIFE ONLY WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT” Everybody knows his name; many remember his voice… The sign dedicating the Cali- fornia 4 - Crosstown Freeway to him is hard to overlook. In June, he will celebrate his 85th birthday, along with Sylvia, his wife of 61 years, four children, eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. “In my personal life, I have been extremely fortunate to have a loving family—huge support by my wife—and to have had the enjoyment of many friends over the years,” confesses Ort J. Lofthus, a Humphreys College trustee for forty-six years. How did you become affiliated with Humphreys College? “So often, friendships and affiliations lead to becoming a part of another group. I knew Dr. John Humphreys as a member of our Downtown Stockton Lions Club, and he invited me to become a trustee. Just that simple. I have enjoyed it im- mensely, watching it grow and become an even greater part of the community. Any contribution I have made involves getting the College better known and its role better understood.” As far as I know, it has not been just Humphreys. You were actively in- volved with KUOP Radio, the Events Center at University of the Pacific, Delta College Bond Campaign, and Lodi School Board of Trustees. “My education motivation came from having had the benefit of a good education myself and having four chil- dren in local schools; it seemed like a „command performance‟.” Many Stocktonians remember you as a radio broadcaster and television entrepreneur: a stockholder and general manger of the AM station KJOY in Stockton.

SYNOPSIS James, mid-20s, simply does not have the time to go on an afternoon canoe trip with his dad. They’ve made the plans, he’s returned home to visit, and now they’re sitting in the actual canoe on the riverbank – but he has to cancel. Something has come up with his girlfriend, Sandy. Dad won’t accept this. He tries to lay a guilt trip on his son, then begs, and then finally, all other options having failed, handcuffs him. They’re going to spend quality time together, whether James likes it or not. Out on the river, James tries to reason with his father, but Dad is adamant that they relax and enjoy nature. James gets desperate, and attempts to break free by stealing the handcuff keys from Dad’s pocket, but they’re just out of reach. Finally, he submits, and at last engages in his dad’s bizarre bonding fantasy. With his guard now down, Dad shares his philosophy on how to treat the people you care about the most. “When you love someone like that, you gotta do whatever it takes to hang onto them.” Suddenly, it hits James: Sandy.
