  • JERUZALÉM — Věčný Zdroj Umělecké Inspirace Jerusalem — Eternal Source of Artistic Inspiration 2
    JERUZALÉM — věčný zdroj umělecké inspirace Jerusalem — Eternal Source of Artistic Inspiration 2. česko-izraelské kolokvium / 2nd Czech-Israeli Colloquium Praha / Prague, 5 / 9 / 2017 Jerusalem’s Share in Building the New Prague Bianca Kühnel (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) In the lecture the part played by Jerusalem and its loca sancta buildings in the construction of the New Prague by Emperor Charles IV will be emphasized. The presentation is mainly based on two architectural monuments, the All Saints Chapel in the Royal Palace and the Wenceslas Chapel in the S. Vitus Cathedral, following the ways in which both echo essential Jerusalem traditions. The Return to Zion – Views of Jerusalem in Jewish Illuminated Manuscripts from Bohemia Sara Offenberg (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beersheva) The notion of the return to Zion is manifested throughout Jewish history both in texts and images. The hopes for eschatological redemption and the rebuilding of the Temple are apparent in Jewish art from the late antique and up to the modern period. At times the hopes are expressed mostly in the saying of “Next year in Jerusalem” at the end of the Passover Haggadah, and the text is usually accompanied by an image of Jerusalem. The city is designed by the imagination of the patron and the illuminator of the manuscript and thus looks like a medieval or early modern European urban space. In this paper I shall examine this notion in some Hebrew illuminated manuscripts produced in Bohemia. Prague and Jerusalem – The Holy Sepulchre in Kryštof Harant‘s Travels (1598) Orit Ramon (Open University of Israel) Kryštof Harant, a Czech pilgrim who visited Jerusalem in 1598, published his travel log in Czech by 1608.

    April 2009 Nissan 5769 Newsletter ICJW: Shaked 363, Zur Hadassah, Israel 99875 Website: www.icjw.org E-mail: [email protected] Tel/Fax: 972-2-533 6955 Editorial Committee: Aviva Kohlmann, Judy Telman Dear Friends, This Newsletter is primarily devoted to the ideas that we will be exploring at ICJW’s Herczeg Jerusalem Seminar for Jewish Education in May, which is entitled “Time and Place: Profound Philosophical Concepts in Jewish Thought”. These concepts are basic to understanding the Jewish perspective on many aspects of Jewish philosophy and practice, and this Seminar will provide the participants with a time and place to immerse themselves in learning more about them. These keys will also help stretch our minds and expand our knowledge—fulfilling the goals and purposes of the Seminar since its inception. While learning is a matter for personal growth, the opportunity we have at the Seminar to participate in a collective study experience is what makes it one of the major events in the ICJW calendar. We have every reason to expect that this Seminar will be among the best. I would like to thank all who have played a part in organizing the Herczeg Jerusalem Seminar and, above all, Rena Cohen, who suggested the topic and has invested much effort to translate it into an actual program. As we approach the holiday of Pesach and the sense of renewal it brings, may what we learn at the Seminar be a catalyst for personal enrichment and a collective blossoming—in all respects. Looking forward to meeting you in Jerusalem, Leah Aharonov President, ICJW Concepts of Time and Place in Jewish Thought Where are you now? What time is it? When and where shall we meet? How much time do we have? These are some of the very basic questions that we ask and are asked daily, because dealing with time and place is an integral part of our lives.
