  • There's a Part of Me That Would Love to Be Able to Stand up Here This
    Rabbi Andrea London Beth Emet The Free Synagogue In Defense of Liberal Zionism Kol Nidre 2014/5775 I want to share with you a story that I received via email earlier this week from Ron Kronish, an American-born rabbi who has lived in Israel for many years. “A few days ago,” Rabbi Kronish wrote, “my wife and I took a drive east of Jerusalem to show a friend from Boston some of the complicated geography in areas C and E of the West Bank. As we were strolling around, we noticed a strange sign on the nearby kiosk. It said in Hebrew: Am Shalem Doresh Falafel—"The people demand falafel." This was a play on a previous slogan from a few years ago: Dor Shalem Doresh Shalom—"An entire generation demands peace." At first I thought it was funny,” Rabbi Kronish continues, “and then I realized what it really meant. “The people," apparently, are not interested in peace any more. ‘There is no partner,’ they say (as if we ourselves were a serious partner for peace!). And even if there were a serious partner, it is not achievable. Instead, the people want falafel! They don't want to worry all the time about issues of war and peace. They just want a ‘'normal’ life!” He goes on: “I explained to my friend some of the background for this feeling. Many Israelis have given up on the ‘Peace Process.’ It is boring. It never really leads anywhere, so why continue to discuss it.” I wanted to share Rabbi Kronish’s email because this feeling of resignation in Israeli society is pervasive, and understandably so.

  • Ibsen and Israeli Modernist Writers
    humanities Article Exile, Pistols, and Promised Lands: Ibsen and Israeli Modernist Writers Irina Ruppo Discipline of English, School of English and Creative Arts, National University of Ireland Galway, H91 TK33 Galway, Ireland; [email protected] Received: 2 August 2019; Accepted: 12 September 2019; Published: 17 September 2019 Abstract: Allusions to Henrik Ibsen’s plays in the works of two prominent Israeli modernist writers, Amos Oz’s autobiographical A Tale of Love and Darkness (2004) and David Grossman’s The Zigzag Kid (1994) examined in the context of the Israeli reception of Ibsen in the 1950s and 1960s. To establish the variety of meanings Ibsen’s plays had for the audiences of the Habimah production of Peer Gynt in 1952 and The Kameri production of Hedda Gabler in 1966, this article draws on newspaper reviews and actors’ memoirs, as well as providing an analysis of Leah Goldberg’s translation of Peer Gynt. It emerges that both authors enlisted Ibsen in their exploration of the myths surrounding the formation of Israeli nationhood and identity. Keywords: Ibsen; Henrik; Oz; Amos; Grossman; David; Goldberg; Leah; modernism; Israel; Israeli literature; Peer Gynt; Hedda Gabler; translation; adaptation; Zionism 1. Introduction The year is 1970, the setting is a Jerusalem school, and the dramatis personae are an irate teacher, the near-13-year-old Nonny Feuerberg, and Gabi, his beloved guardian and his father’s secretary. Gabi demands that Nonny be given one more chance to stay in the school despite his ‘limitations’: ‘What you may see as limitations, I happen to consider advantages!’ She swelled larger in front of Mrs Marcus, like a cobra protecting her young.
