Дорогие друзья, ждем вас в эфир передачи “Шутки в Сторону” в эту среду, 8-го декабря, в 9 вечера по этой ссылке: https://youtu.be/plaGjbQt_fA
Гость программы – доктор Игаль Котлер – специалист по русско-еврейской истории, культуре и диаспоре. Директор образовательных программ COJECO (Council of Jewish Émigré Community Organizations).
«Два мира – два Шапиро». Уже несколько тысяч лет евреи спорят о том, кого же считать евреем. Мы поговорим с доктором Котлером о животрепещущей теме – как русскоязычные евреи-иммигранты и американские евреи отвечают на этот вопрос. Поговорим об истории взаимоотношений этих двух общин, о ситуации на сегодняшний день и прогнозах на будущее. Постараемся шутить по ходу дела, как полагается одесситу и москвичу. Ударим просвещением по самоидентификации и антисемитизму!

WITNESS, the latest project from Arlekin’s Zero Gravity (zero-G) Virtual Theater Lab, is a new documentary theater piece about Jewish immigration in the face of antisemitism. WITNESS brings actors and audience together from around the world for a shared immersive experience set on a boat in digital space. The piece is inspired by the journey of the MS St. Louis, which left Hamburg in 1939 with over 900 Jewish people on board and headed to Cuba only to be turned away, leaving the passengers stranded with nowhere to go and no escape. WITNESS shares stories of Jewish immigrants from around the globe through an interactive virtual theater experience at the nexus of film, theater and video games.

Коротко о Максиме Осипове.
Максим Александрович Осипов родился в Москве. Окончил 2‑ю физико-математическую школу, 2‑й Московский медицинский институт, ординатуру, аспирантуру, защитил кандидатскую диссертацию. Работал в Калифорнийском университете в Сан-Франциско, в московских клиниках. В 1993 и 2005 годах выпустил в свет два издания книги «Клиническая эхокардиография» (в соавторстве с Нельсоном Шиллером) — самое известное руководство по этой специальности на русском языке. В 1994 году основал медицинское издательство «Практика», известное своими переводными медицинскими руководствами, а также книгами по музыковедению и богословию, и много лет руководил им. В 2005 году вернулся к работе врачом, тогда же создал благотворительное «Общество помощи Тарусской больнице», деятельность которого получила широкую известность в 2008 году после успешного противостояния врачей произволу местной власти. Благодаря усилиям «Общества помощи» Тарусская больница получила нескольких квалифицированных врачей и современное оборудование. В марте 2022 года переехал в Германию.
С 2007 года Осипов печатает свои очерки, рассказы и повести, в основном — в журнале «Знамя», который присудил ему свои премии за 2007 и 2015 гг. Опубликовал шесть сборников — «Грех жаловаться» (2009), «Крик домашней птицы» (2011), «Человек эпохи Возрождения» (2012), «Волною морскою» (2014) и «пгт Вечность» (2017) — все в издательстве АСТ-Corpus, Москва, — и «101-й километр, очерки из провинциальной жизни» в Издательстве Ивана Лимбаха в Санкт-Петербурге (2019). В 2020 г. издательство АСТ-Corpus выпустило наиболее полное собрание произведений Осипова «Люксембург и другие русские истории» — в электронном виде и как аудиокнигу (читает автор).

Via Zoom
Register
Join us for a conversation with, and performance by, Israeli Deaf poet Tami Assouline. In her performances, Assouline rejects the hegemony of the spoken word and describes her poetry as “a purely visual work of art—an expression of my movement and freedom in my own language.” Removed from the strictures of Hebrew, her creative work explores such themes as love, grief, and the sensuality of the body.

Tami will perform her poetry and will discuss, together with Dr. Marco Di Giulio, the history, memory, and identity of the Israeli Deaf community. Live captions will be available.

This event is part of the “Performing Disability in Israel” series and is held in conjunction with Professor Ilana Szobel’s groundbreaking course, Disability Cultures: Art, Film and Literature of People with Disabilities.

His most recent publication is “The Origins of Israeli Deaf Ethnicity,” Jewish Social Studies 27.2 (2022): 144-182. Prof. Di Giulio is an alumnus of the Summer Institute for Israel Studies.
Tami Assouline is a multidisciplinary deaf creator—in movement, dance and poetry. She is a sign language teacher and the daughter of a deaf family. She has written three books of poetry, the most recent of these in deaf syntax, and is working on a fourth book. Tami wrote the short film, “Inner Flame” (2017)—now available at the Brandeis University Library—which tells the story of a deaf young woman auditioning for a renowned dance company who decides to hide her deafness from the audition panel and the other dancers, fighting for her place on equal grounds. Tami’s ambition is to release a video and a bilingual book. Visit her website (in Hebrew).

NEW YEAR, NEW RABBIS, NEW IDEAS
Rabbis who are new to the greater Boston Jewish community or have new roles here, have been invited to teach about their passions! Their sessions are outstanding – innovative, provocative, fresh, and fascinating! The full list of sessions is below.
Here is a taste:
Navigating Divisive Jewish Communities
We live in times during which the boundaries of communities are constantly being navigated and contested. We see these tensions everywhere from college campuses to social movements to synagogue communities. What orientations toward Jewish life, Israel and American politics are considered within or outside the bounds? When we think about our Jewish community, what is the value of having communal boundaries? What constitutes “membership” in any given Jewish community and what makes staying “in” compelling despite differences of opinion, perspective, or identity? What happens when disagreement threatens to destroy a community? How does a community maintain diversity even as it aspires to some shared values and norms and are there limits to this diversity?

She received her ordination from Yeshivat Maharat in Riverdale, NY. Emily lives in Boston with her husband Jonah, campus rabbi at Tufts, and their extroverted Golden Retriever, Barley.

Multiple Perspectives on Death and Rituals Surrounding Death
2023-02-09 15:00 - 16:00 | Congregation Kehillath Israel, 384 Harvard Street, Brookline, MA, 02446, United States
Multiple Perspectives on Death and Rituals Surrounding Death
Thursday, February 9, 3 p.m.
Kehillath Israel Sanctuary and on Zoom
2Life residents are inspirational in the way they come together to form tight-knit, supportive communities. These deep relationships are invaluable when a member of the community suffers a loss through death. Often, friends do not know the customs surrounding the death of someone that is of another religion or culture and in fear of doing something disrespectful they are stymied and do nothing at all.
This learning symposium will be a step forward in breaking that feeling of helplessness in the face of others’ grief and our desire to console and offer friendship in a time of great need.

Babyn Yar: Ukrainian Poets Respond

Babyn Yar: Ukrainian Poets Respond
Date: Wednesday, March 8, 2023, 4:30pm to 6:00pm
Location: K-354 CGIS Knafel, 1737 Cambridge Street, Cambridge MA
In Person and Online

Moderated by Oleh Kotsyuba, Manager of Publications, HURI
Abstract
On September 29 and 30, 1941, Nazis executed 33,771 Kyivan Jews by machine gun at a ravine near Babyn Yar. By the time the Soviet army recaptured Kyiv, some 100,000 to 150,000 had been exterminated at the ravine. The name of Babyn Yar is now synonymous with one of the most horrific massacres of World War II. Babyn Yar: Ukrainian Poets Respond presents poems by Ukrainian Jewish and non-Jewish poets of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods, written in response to the tragic and senseless mass murders at Babyn Yar.
Babyn Yar editor and translator Ostap Kin and translator John Hennessy join us for a discussion of the Babyn Yar massacre and their new book (forthcoming from HURI), which presents this collection of poems in the original Ukrainian and English translation. In addition to offering historical background about the massacre, they will read several selections and discuss the poems and art of translation.

Annual
Yom Hashoah Commemoration
There will be closed captioning in Russian.
Мероприятие проводится с русскими субтитрами.
Holocaust Commemoration Committee of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston invites you to join them at their annual Community Holocaust Commemoration of Yom HaShoah, taking place on April 16th at 2:00 p.m. at Faneuil Hall.
Each year we gather the Jewish and broader civic community of Boston for this event, to honor local Holocaust survivors, hear their testimonies, and pay tribute to those who were murdered during the Holocaust. It has become, and continues to be, one of the most effective vehicles for convening our community to transmit memory and ensure an enduring commitment to preserving this critical legacy.
At a time when staggering numbers of young people are ignorant of this shameful chapter of history, and as we witness antisemitism and hatred of all kinds of the rise, this commemoration has become a powerful vehicle to counteract these troubling trends.
Please attend and invite others as well.

It is possible to have on sight Russian captioning. A mobile device will be needed in order to view Russian captioning during the program.
Russian speakers OFF SIGHT will need to go into a zoom link for the program and then into a separate link in a different window to access the Russian or have 2 devices. so if you have 2 screens or someone has 2 devices etc. you’re fine.

Царь Давид. Старые легенды и новые находки.
2024-05-30 19:30 - 21:30
Собранные средства будут переданы волонтерам оперативного штаба “Хамаль мамы Эвы” для покупки необходимых вещей израильским солдатам и резервистам.
Давид, царь Израиля, живее всех живых!
Старые легенды и новые находки
В путь во времени и пространстве с экскурсоводом, историком, археологом из Израиля Катей Рубиной.
В Иерусалиме на Сионской горе под куполом со старым минаретом есть здание, которое за свою 800 летнюю историю успело побывать церковью, мечетью и синагогой. На его первом этаже, в небольшой комнате стоит каменное надгробие могилы царя Давида. И не иссякает поток паломников и туристов стремящихся к царю Израиля. Вот такая всенародная любовь…
Если кого и интересует жил ли он когда-нибудь на самом деле, то это скорее представителей научного сообщества. Нам же хватает мифа о рыжем пастухе, основателе царской династии, о поэте и воине, о вероломном любовнике, о победителе великана и предке Мессии.
Его образ создавался веками, он берет свое начало в Книге Самуила. А дальше обрастает подробностями и оживает в комментариях еврейских мудрецов, в произведениях европейских художников и скульпторов, в музыке, в исследованиях археологов, в фильмах и в нашем воображении.
За эти годы накопилось огромное количество разнообразного материала о Давиде. Конечно, хочется рассказать вам все и сразу, возможно когда нибудь это удастся сделать. Поэтому при первом знакомстве с американской публикой Катя покажет вам Исток – Начало. Опираясь на еврейские мидраши, археологию и израильские достопримечательности, она представит вам иллюстрированный рассказ о рождении, помазании и первом бое будущего Псалмопевца, о первых шагах Давида в вечную жизнь мифа.
А также ответит на ваши вопросы как о самом Давиде, так и о современной жизни в его “царстве” – Государстве Израиль.
$30. Онлайн. После оплаты вам будет выслана ссылка на Zoom.

О проекте “Хамаль мамы Эвы”
Оперативный штаб “Хамаль мамы Эвы”: волонтерский проект помощи солдатам и резервистам

О Кате Рубиной
Я путешественница по времени и пространству, в этом моя суть и моя радость.
Свою питерскую юность я провела между походами, библиотеками, музеями и археологическими экспедициями.
В 1993 году я совершила свое главное путешествие – репатриацию в Израиль, для меня оно продолжается до сих пор.
Моя первая израильская работа на археологических раскопках в Бейт Гуврине привела меня на курсы экскурсоводов. И из одинокой путешественницы я стала дипломированным проводником.
И вот 28 лет я вожу экскурсии по Израилю, показываю, рассказываю и влюбляю людей в эту страну.
За это время я успела вырастить сына, прибавить к своему высшему образованию Музеолога знания по иудаизму, еврейской истории, философии и Талмуду в колледже «Альма» и Институте Хартмана. Познакомиться и подружиться с интересными людьми из самых разных стран мира.
