Funny, deep and unexpected, Hava Nagila: What Is It? will celebrate 100 years of Jewish history and culture through the journey of a song, and reveal the power of music to bridge cultural divides and bring us together as human beings. “We are thrilled to be working with Marta again,” says director Roberta Grossman, whose film Blessed Is the Match, about Holocaust heroine Hannah Senesh, was shortlisted for an Academy Award, won the audience award at 13 film festivals, was broadcast on PBS in 2010, and nominated for a Primetime Emmy. “Marta is someone who elevates every project she touches, and her experience and guidance will only make the film better.” Kauffman was the co-creator and executive producer of the hit TV series Friends. Prior to her work on Friends, Kauffman co-created and co-executive produced the critically acclaimed series Dream On. She co-created the series The Powers That Be, for Norman Lear, and co-created and served as executive producer on the comedy series Family Album and Veronica’s Closet.

  • Rosh Chodesh and the Transformation of Ritual a GREAT JEWISH BOOKS TEACHER WORKSHOP RESOURCE KIT
    Rosh Chodesh and the Transformation of Ritual A GREAT JEWISH BOOKS TEACHER WORKSHOP RESOURCE KIT Teachers’ Guide This guide accompanies resources that can be found at: http://teachgreatjewishbooks.org/resource-kits/rosh-chodesh-and- transformation-ritual. Introduction Rosh Chodesh means “head of the month,” and refers to the minor Jewish holiday that occurs at the beginning of each new month in the Hebrew calendar. The ancient Rabbis interpreted the Biblical verses Exodus 12:1-12:2 as requiring that the new month be determined by eyewitness testimony. Just as God showed Moses and the high priest Aaron the new moon, witnesses were supposed to testify before the judges of the Sanhedrin, the Great Court in Jerusalem, that they had seen the new moon. The officiants at the Holy Temple would then mark the occasion with a sacrifice, feasting, and fanfare. After the destruction of the Second Temple, this eyewitness procedure was replaced by astronomical and mathematical calculations that were used to determine when each month began. Bonfires were lit on the mountains between Jerusalem and Babylonia to announce the arrival of the new moon. In later years, as witnesses and messengers were replaced with a fixed calendar, few Rosh Chodesh rituals remained, although it continued to be marked liturgically by the birkat ha-chodesh (or, in Ashkenazic pronunciation, birkas hakhoydesh), the blessing of the month, which is recited on the Saturday before each new month begins. Because of associations between women and the moon, Rosh Chodesh has long been considered a special holiday for women. This association was taken up by Jewish feminists in the 1970s as they innovated to create Jewish rituals that affirmed women’s strength and created empowering female community within Jewish ritual life.

  • Kultura Muzyczna W Polsce D
    Katarzyna Janczewska-Sołomko KULTURA MUZYCZNA W POLSCE DWUDZIESTOLECIA MIĘDZYWOJENNEGO (NA PRZYKŁADZIE NAGRAŃ) Skrót Rok 1919 jest – jak wiadomo – ważny dla historii Europy, w tym także dla historii Polski. Był to początek funkcjonowania krajów w nowych granicach geograficznych, w nowych warunkach politycznych, ze świadomością początków nowej ery i możliwości istnienia w okolicznościach pokojowych. Dwudziestolecie międzywojenne było w Polsce okresem wielkich przemian; oznaczało między innymi odbudowę instytucji niezależnych od obcej ingerencji, a także zmianę potrzeb w sferze kultury. Prężnie działały czołowe instytucje kultury (Filharmonia Warszawska, Opera Warszawska), duże ożywienie związane było z organizacją pierwszych konkursów międzynarodowych: w 1927 r. im. F. Chopina i w 1935 – im. H. Wieniawskiego. W Polsce koncertowali czołowi polscy artyści (m.in. Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Artur Rubinstein, Ignacy Friedman, Bronisław Huberman, Henryk Szeryng, Ewa Bandrowska-Turska, zaczyna swoją wspaniałą karierę Witold Małcużyński) i wielu wybitnych wykonawców z zagranicy. Powstają liczne chóry i zespoły instrumentalne. W repertuarze koncertowym coraz częściej pojawiają się utwory m.in. Karola Szymanowskiego i innych polskich twórców tego okresu. Lata 1919-1939 w Polsce to także okres rozkwitu teatrzyków i kabaretów, spośród najbardziej znane to Morskie Oko oraz Qui pro quo. Na potrzeby polskich odbiorców do piosenek obcej proweniencji autorzy często tworzyli nowe teksty i utwór zaczynał żyć własnym życiem; w niepamięć szedł autor oryginału… Mistrzami polskich wersji tekstów zagranicznych byli Marian Hemar, Andrzej Włast, Emanuel Schlechter, a także Julian Tuwim i inni. Teatrzyki i kabarety lansowały przeboje, ale było to głównie zasługą wykonawców; legendarna Hanka Ordonówna, Tola Mankiewiczówna, Zofia Terné, Mira Zimińska, Eugeniusza Bodo , Mieczysław Fogg – to tylko niektórzy z nich. Ponadto istniały chóry rewelersów, spośród których najbardziej popularny był Chór Dana, kierowany przez Władysława Daniłowskiego, psed.
