Jewish and Israeli Culture

Sunset in Toledo
By Michael Dak  |  15/10/2009
Michael Dak was sent to Toledo by his hi-tech company, and returned with new insights on the Jewish fate. According to him, every Jew must go to Toledo, at least once

No more hegemony
By Jacky Levy  |  15/10/2009
Jacky Levy drew up a grocery list of everything that is good and bad in Israeli culture. There is a short list and a long list. He nevertheless is convinced that “Somewhere within the gruff, pushy, aggressive and Darwinist Israeli, another spirit has also developed, and it is devising a different cultural possibility h...

Psychoanalysis as the Promised Land
By Laurent Cohen  |  15/10/2009
Freud and Herzl offered a project of conquest, or at least of return, to the land that is both ours and foreign. Both speak of returning to the place where everything began despite all the time that has passed, and despite all that has been forgotten and suppressed. But while Herzl, Ahad Haam and Jabotinsky were referr...

Suddenly falling in love with foreign words
By Dina Markon  |  15/10/2009
Dina Markon immigrated to Israel at the age of 13 from Riga, the capital of Latvia. So far, she has translated about twenty books from Russian and English into Hebrew. In this revealing manifest, she opens a window to the world of transparent cultural mediators. About translation as an act of destiny

The spirit of the nation depends on the land
By Noam Avidan Sela  |  15/10/2009
The attempt to create an artificial foundation of particularistic “culture” in the context of a new society in the modern world is just as foolish as the attempt to create a “new man” that preceded it. But what the foundation does need is a new-old view of the particularistic cultural resources that still exist and a c...

A Spark of Absolute Sincerity
By Shaanan Street  |  15/10/2009
One of the striking features of contemporary Israeli indie is that it isn't in Hebrew. Or, to be more precise, that it's also in Hebrew. Many artists record and distribute songs in English, but many songs are also in Russian, Amharic, Spanish, French, and Arabic. Shaanan Street takes a look at the leading fri...

Culture has yet to internalize the feminine perspective
By Anat Zuria  |  15/10/2009
Anat Zuria believes that Netalie Braun’s Metamorphosis is an important film. Braun succeeds in showing how sexual crimes are silenced not only by means of external denial mechanisms, and ties them to mythic elements in Western civilization

We did not come from the sea
By Be’eri Zimmerman  |  15/10/2009
The resounding silence of the first generation of the kibbutz movement about the world they had left behind, and which was later destroyed, was a fortified wall that was breached only on rare occasions. Be’eri Zimmerman follows the Shereleh, an originally Hassidic wedding dance, one of the only legitimate expressions ...

Wandering sands and roots
By Oded Zehavi  |  15/10/2009
The composers of popular Israeli music were more heedful of the encounter with the local landscape than the writers of artistic music, who in the first generation held on to their European musical heritage. Oded Zehavi says that the numerous forms and genres of Israeli music are still debating and struggling over its ...
