She loved picking flowers, skating on the frozen river in winter and gazing at the Fclouds changing their shapes in the sky. Sheindel and her family lived in a little village, a Jewish shtetl, in Europe. For hours on end she would watch her father the blacksmith at work, as he made different tools out of molten metal. One day he made a pair of candlesticks that came out all crooked. He wanted to scrap them, but Sheindel stopped him and said that she thought they were lovely. She lit candles in them every Sabbath eve, and never parted from them, even when she grew up, got married and had a daughter named Rochele. The candles in the crooked candlesticks lit up the little cradle and Sheindel hoped that her daughter would also learn to like things with flaws. Then there came days of darkness and evil. The Jews were driven away and herded together into a ghetto. There were no candles to light, but Sheindel and Rochele kept on blessing the light although darkness covered the earth. Nava Semel (1954-2017) was born in Nava Semel’s story is one of memory and continuity and the need Tel Aviv and had an MA in art history. to seek out beauty in a world where there is so much ugliness.

Join them on a journey that begins in Iraq and ends in a small kiosk in Ramat Gan, and you will discover the answer as well. Sabich is a sandwich made from fried eggplants, hard- boiled egg and tahini. This story goes back to the roots of this dish where we discover that the word sabich comes from the name of the man who brought the Iraqi dish to Israel and sold it from his kiosk. At first, customers used to say, “Sabich, give me a plate”, but soon it changed to “give me a plate of sabich”, and so the name of the man became the name of the dish. The book tells this personal, but also very public story, and shows how food becomes intertwined in our lives through characters, immigration, chance and appetite. Tami Shem-Tov, whose children and youth books have won numerous prizes and have been translated into several languages, dedicated this book to her father, Sabich. Her story, Tami Shem-Tov was born in Kiryat Ono, Israel, about a family, interweaves the colorful texture of Israeli society. in 1969, and lives in Tel Aviv.

  • Israeli Literature and the American Reader
    Israeli Literature and the American Reader by ALAN MINTZ A HE PAST 25 YEARS HAVE BEEN a heady time for lovers of Is- raeli literature. In the 1960s the Israeli literary scene began to explode, especially in terms of fiction. Until then, poetry had been at the center of literary activity. While S.Y. Agnon's eminence, rooted in a different place and time, persisted, the native-born writers who began to produce stories and novels after 1948 never seemed to be able to carry their ef- forts much beyond the struggles and controversies of the hour. Then suddenly there were the short stories of Amos Oz, A.B. Yehoshua, Aharon Appelfeld, and Amalia Kahana-Carmon, followed by their first and second novels. These writers were soon joined by Shulamit Hareven, Yehoshua Kenaz, Yaakov Shabtai, and David Grossman. Into the 1980s and 1990s the debuts of impressive new writers became more frequent, while the productivity of the by-now established ones only intensified. What was different about this new Israeli literature was the quality and inventiveness of its fictional techniques and its ability to explore univer- sal issues in the context of Israeli society. There was also a new audience for this literature; children of immigrants had become sophisticated He- brew readers. Many of the best books became not only critical successes but best-sellers as well. Was this a party to which outsiders were invited? Very few American Jews knew Hebrew well enough to read a serious modern Hebrew book, so that even if they were aware of the celebration, they could not hear the music.
