- Judaism and the visual image : a Jewish theology of art / by Raphael, Melissa,author.(CARDINAL)841281;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 212-224) and index.The second commandment in Jewish art and thought -- Genesis 1 and the creation of the image -- What does a Jewish woman look like? Gender and images of Jews in art -- Sublimity and representation of the Holocaust in art -- Towards a theology of the Holocaust image -- The dancing figure of Jewish history."The widespread assumption that Jewish religious tradition is mediated through words, not pictures, has left Jewish art with no significant role to play in Jewish theology and ethics ... Judaism and the Visual Image argues for a Jewish theology of image that, among other things, helps us re-read the creation story in Genesis 1 and to question why images of Jewish women as religious subjects appear to be doubly suppressed by the Second Commandment, when images of observant male Jews have become legitimate, even iconic, representations of Jewish holiness. Raphael further suggests that 'devout beholding' of images of the Holocaust is a corrective to post-Holocaust theologies of divine absence from suffering that are infused by a sub-theological aesthetic of the sublime. Raphael concludes by proposing that the relationship between God and Israel composes itself into a unitary dance or moving image by which each generation participates in a processive revelation that is itself the ultimate work of Jewish art."--BOOK JACKET.

- 1913 [videorecording] : seeds of conflict. by Loeterman, Ben,television director,television producer,screenwriter.; Neeman, Itai,director of photography.; Roustom, Kareem,composer (expression); Ben Loeterman Productions,production company.; PBS Distribution (Firm),film distributor.(CARDINAL)309769; Public Broadcasting Service (U.S.),broadcaster.(CARDINAL)189964;
Written, produced and directed by Ben Loeterman ; edited by Rachel Clark ; director of photography, Itai Neeman ; original music composed by Kareem Roustom.Narrator: Robin Parmelee.This documentary examines a critical yet overlooked moment of transformation in Palestine, long before the Balfour Declaration and British Mandate period usually considered the matchstick for today's ongoing struggles. It was a time when identities were fluid and few Arabs or Jews living there could imagine the conflict that would engulf their region for the next century. 1913: Seeds of Conflict explores the crumbling of Ottoman rule and the rise of Jewish and Palestinian nationalism through the words of those who helped shape history: Albert Antebi, a Sephardic Jew known as the Jewish "pasha"; Ruhi al-Khalidi, the scion of a Palestine family and Jerusalem's elected representative to the Ottoman Parliament; Khalil Sakakini, a Christian schoolmaster and voice for Palestinian cultural autonomy; and Arthur Ruppin, a German Zionist who opens the Palestine Office to strategize the shape of a Jewish homeland to come.DVD; NTSC, region 1; widescreen; stereo.

"Incendio" recorded at Smokehouse Studios, London; Violin - Robert Atchison, Piano - simon Gilliver, Produced by Trevor Jenkins, Engineered by Paul Madden.Performed by Julia Whelan and Will Damron.On a trip to Rome, violinist Julia Ansdell, the narrator of this haunting standalone from bestseller Gerritsen ("The Bone Garden", buys an old music book titled "Gypsy"from an antique shop. Inside the book, on a loose sheet of paper, is a handwritten waltz, "Incendio" by one L. Todesco. Back home in Boston, Julia plays "Incendio"on her violin, but doing so appears to set off a series of calamities, starting with the death of the family cat, that upset her relationships with her husband, Rob, and their three-year-old daughter, Lily. Julia subsequently travels to Venice, to try to learn more about the music and its Jewish composer, Lorenzo Todesco. Flashbacks spanning 1938 to 1944 chronicle Lorenzoas tragic story, in particular his romance with Catholic Laura Balboni, as the Fascist regimeas ever harsher anti-Semitic laws tear families and friends apart. Gerritsen movingly depicts Juliaas search, which has some surprising repercussions and builds to a satisfying crescendo.

- Carole King : she made the earth move / by Eisner, Jane,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Jane Eisner traces the professional accomplishments and personal challenges of pop icon Carole King, exploring her unique contribution to American music. Carole King's extraordinary career has defined American popular music for more than half a century. Born in New York City in 1942, she shaped the soundtrack of 1960s teen culture with such songs as "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," one of many Brill Building classics she wrote with her first husband, Gerry Goffin. She was a leading figure in the singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s, with dozens of Billboard Hot 100 hits and music awards--her 1971 album Tapestry won a record four Grammys. Yet she struggled to reconcile her fame with her roles as a wife and mother and retreated to the backwoods of Idaho, only to emerge in recent years as a political activist and the subject of the Tony-winning Broadway show Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Journalist and author Jane Eisner places King's life in historical and cultural context, revealing details of her humble beginnings in Jewish Brooklyn, the roots of her musical genius, her four marriages, and her anguish about public life. Drawing on numerous interviews as well as historical and contemporary sources, this book brings to life King's professional accomplishments, her personal challenges, and her lasting contributions to the great American songbook.

Director, Janina Quint ; executive producer, Tal Recanati ; director of photography, Adolfo Doring, Amanda Zackem ; editor, Michael Culyba ; music, Jonathan Zalben.Today, Europe's fastest growing Jewish population is in Berlin. Germany is considered one of the most democratic societies in the world, assuming the position of moral leader of Europe as they embrace hundreds of thousands of refugees. This development couldn't have been imagined in 1945. Through personal stories Germans & Jews explores Germany's transformation as a society, from silence about the Holocaust to facing it head on. Unexpectedly, a nuanced story of reconciliation emerges. What began as a private conversation between the two filmmakers and friends, Tal Recanati (Jewish) and Janina Quint (non-Jewish German), grew into a cultural exchange among many and we realize that the two people are inextricably linked through the memory of the Holocaust. Germans and Jews is at once uncomfortable and provocative, unexpected and enlightening.Rating: Not rated.DVD, NTSC, all region.
