    Beshallach / 13 Shevat 5776 “Miriam the prophetess”! by Anselm Feuerbach ! ! ִתּ ַקּח ִמרְ יָם ַה ִנְּביאָה אֲחוֹת אַהֲרֹן, ֶאת ַהתֹּף בְּיָ ָדהּ; וַ ֵתּ ֶצאן ָ ָכל- ַהנָּ ִשׁים ֶאַחֲר ָיה, ֻבְּת ִפּים ִוּבמְ חֹלת. וַ ַתּ ַען ָל ֶהם, ִמרְ יָם: ... ִשׁירוּ ַליהוָה ִכּי- ָגאֹה ָגּאָה ! Exodus 15:20-2 Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dances. And Miriam sang to them: !“Sing to Adonai, for G-d is highly exalted…” ! In the Bible, Miriam, sister of Moses and Aaron takes a secondary role to her brothers. Were anyone to ask, “who led the Israelite people out of Egypt?,” most certainly the answer would be “Moses” or maybe “Moses and his brother Aaron.” But, seldom would the question elicit the answer, “Miriam.” Yet, this week’s Torah portion tells us that “Miriam the prophetess… took the tambourine in her hand; and all the women followed her with tambourines and dances. And !Miriam sang to them….” Biblical commentators (including Fox, Plaut, Alter) tell us that it was customary in ancient days for women to lead the community in a victory dance and song following the defeat of an enemy. This was perhaps the scenario as the crossing of the Sea of Reeds marked a successful exodus from 400 years of slavery in Egypt. It’s very clear that Miriam sang to “them” as in all the men, not just the women who followed her with tambourine in hand for a victory dance.

    Peace and Security beyond Military Power: The League of Nations and the Polish-Lithuanian Dispute (1920-1923) Chiara Tessaris Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Chiara Tessaris All rights reserved ABSTRACT Peace and Security beyond Military Power: The League of Nations and the Polish- Lithuanian Dispute Chiara Tessaris Based on the case study of the mediation of the Polish-Lithuanian dispute from 1920 to 1923, this dissertation explores the League of Nations’ emergence as an agency of modern territorial and ethnic conflict resolution. It argues that in many respects, this organization departed from prewar traditional diplomacy to establish a new, broader concept of security. At first the league tried simply to contain the Polish-Lithuanian conflict by appointing a Military Commission to assist these nations in fixing a final border. But the occupation of Vilna by Polish troops in October 1920 exacerbated Polish-Lithuanian relations, turning the initial border dispute into an ideological conflict over the ethnically mixed region of Vilna, claimed by the Poles on ethnic grounds while the Lithuanians considered it the historical capital of the modern Lithuanian state. The occupation spurred the league to greater involvement via administration of a plebiscite to decide the fate of the disputed territories. When this strategy failed, Geneva resorted to negotiating the so-called Hymans Plan, which aimed to create a Lithuanian federal state and establish political and economic cooperation between Poland and Lithuania. This analysis of the league’s mediation of this dispute walks the reader through the league’s organization of the first international peacekeeping operation, its handling of the challenges of open diplomacy, and its efforts to fulfill its ambitious mandate not just to prevent war but also to uproot its socioeconomic and ethnic causes.

  • Abraham Joshua Heschel, "No Time for Neutrality" Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity, Pp
    Engaging Israel: Foundations for a New Relationship The Shalom Hartman Institute Video Lecture Series Lecture 4: Background Reading 16 Abraham Joshua Heschel, "No Time for Neutrality" Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity, pp. 75-89 One of the lessons we have derived from the events of our time is that we cannot dwell at ease under the sun of our civilization, that man is the least harmless of all beings. We feel how every minute in our civilization is packed with tension like the interlude between lightning and thunder. Man has not advanced very far from the coast of chaos. It took only one storm to throw him back into the sinister. If culture is to survive, it is in need of defenses all along the shore. A frantic call to chaos shrieks in our blood. Many of us are too susceptible to it to ignore it forever. Where is the power that could offset the effect of that alluring call? How are we going to keep the demonic forces under control? This is the decision which we have to make: whether our life is to be a pursuit of pleasure or an engagement for service. The world cannot remain a vacuum. Unless we make it an altar to God, it is invaded by demons. This is no time for neutrality. We Jews cannot remain aloof or indifferent. We, too, are either ministers of the sacred or slaves of evil. The only safeguard against constant danger is constant vigilance, constant guidance. Such guidance is given to him who lives in the reality of Israel.

  • Songs of Grief, Joy, and Tragedy Among Iraqi Jews
    EXILED NOSTALGIA AND MUSICAL REMEMBRANCE: SONGS OF GRIEF, JOY, AND TRAGEDY AMONG IRAQI JEWS BY LILIANA CARRIZO DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Gabriel Solis Associate Professor Christina Bashford Professor Kenneth M. Cuno ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a practice of private song-making, one whose existence is often denied, among a small number of amateur Iraqi Jewish singers in Israel. These individuals are among those who abruptly emigrated from Iraq to Israel in the mid twentieth century, and share formative experiences of cultural displacement and trauma. Their songs are in a mixture of colloquial Iraqi dialects of Arabic, set to Arab melodic modes, and employ poetic and musical strategies of obfuscation. I examine how, within intimate, domestic spheres, Iraqi Jews continually negotiate their personal experiences of trauma, grief, joy, and cultural exile through musical and culinary practices associated with their pasts. Engaging with recent advances in trauma theory, I investigate how these individuals utilize poetic and musical strategies to harness the unstable affect associated with trauma, allowing for its bodily embrace. I argue that, through their similar synaesthetic capability, musical and culinary practices converge to allow for powerful, multi-sensorial evocations of past experiences, places, and emotions that are crucial to singers’ self-conceptions in the present day. Though these private songs are rarely practiced by younger generations of Iraqi Jews, they remain an under-the-radar means through which first- and second-generation Iraqi immigrants participate in affective processes of remembering, self-making, and survival.
