  The
First Contributions Campaign for the World Jewish New Agency
It’s been two months! Could we
have possibly accomplished so much in such a short time? As promised, we
have gathered the best hearts and minds in America, Europe, and Israel,
all eager to donate their time and efforts. We have the most
up-to-the-minute news and political analysis. We have invaded all areas
– business, world markets, art, culture, book reviews, lifestyles – and
even a few hints for successful Jewish dating… We have encouraged all
thoughts and opinions, and permitted all points of view to appear on our
site, no matter how provoking or even controversial. The whole Jewish
world is already talking about the Agency, the best forum for all Jewish
things on the Web!
WE NEED YOUR
IMMEDIATE HELP!
YOUR
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WORLD JEWISH NEWS AGENCY WILL ENABLE US TO PRESERVE
OUR JEWISH HERITAGE, CULTURE, ARTS, WAY OF LIFE, TRADITIONS,
BELIEFS...AND ALLOW US TO PROVIDE YOU -FREE OF CHARGE- WITH ALL THE
INFORMATION, THE IN-DEPTH ARTICLES AND NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT,
AROUND THE CLOCK! GENEROUS PORTION OF YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS WILL GO
DIRECTLY TO JEWISH FAMILIES IN NEED, TO ISRAELI AND JEWISH CHILDREN AND
ORPHANS, JEWISH SHELTERS AND CHARITABLE JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS. SO PLEASE
HELP!
 We
have kept our promise. But all this costs a great deal of money, much
more money than the revenue generated from ads, when the organization is
still so new. In addition, we are proud to constantly donate a large
amount of advertising space to promote important causes which are unable
to pay. So now it’s your turn to help. We need
contributions. If we have pleased you in any way, if we have
encouraged your business by a review, a press release, or an article, or
if you are simply happy to be able to go to a site that promotes Jewish
thought and style at its best – please don’t wait any longer – we
urgently need the support of all our friends if we are to continue
developing and enhancing the Agency. Please contribute whatever you can
– any amount will be greatly appreciated. Please send checks or money
orders to this address:
PLEASE
JOIN US AND GIVE US YOUR SUPPORT.

 Keshet
Chaim Dance Ensemble
THE CROWN OF ISRAEL
MULTIDIMENSIONAL DANCE FANTASIA!
Keshet Chaim,
"Rainbow of Life", is a non-profit American-Israeli contemporary
dance troupe. The group's repertoire is inspired by Jewish life in
many lands and covers a vast span of history, from the time of
Solomon and Sheba to the present. Artistic Director Eytan Avisar and
his company transcend generations of Jewish thought and emotion
through a mosaic of music, dance and color. The company began in
l983 and is presently the major professional company of Israeli folk
dancers in the United States. The ensemble expresses the global
spirit of Judaism and Israeli culture throughout the world, and to
combat prejudice through education and the arts. Influenced by world
music, the multi-ethnic roots of the Jewish people and a constant
drive for interpreting and exploring Jewish values through art,
Keshet Chaim has become a pioneer in the development of Jewish dance
and seeks to focus its mission by teaching the richness of their
culture to Jews and non-Jews alike.

Events produced through the City
of Los Angeles include performances at two local high schools, the
Latino-speaking Mormon church in downtown Los Angeles, a performance
at the John Anson Ford Theatre as part of the "Summer Nights at the
Ford" and two collaborations with the Performing Arts Center at Cal
State Northridge. Last year the company produced a week of workshops
for students at the Skirball Cultural Center and this year their
project was a 5-week long residency with Middle School students,
culminating in multi-media concerts and workshops for 1,800 students
from the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Photo: Tour
to Moscow - 2000 - Concerts at Bolshoi & Tchaikovski Theatres.
Tours have included Florida,
Washington DC, Texas Mexico, Israel and Moscow. The company was
included in the Solomon Mikhoels International Arts Festival in
Moscow, opening in the Bolshoi Theatre with a second performance in
the Tchaikovsky Theatre in September/2000. The audiences of Moscow
as well as the press received the company with great enthusiasm. The
company also participated in the 2000 Democratic Convention in Los
Angeles. In February of 2002, Keshet Chaim participated in an
exchange project with the Inbal Dance Theatre from Israel.
Twenty-four dancers from Inbal were hosted in Los Angeles for a
series of workshops for students, teachers and the public at the
Skirball Cultural Center, concluding with three concerts at the
University of Judaism in collaboration with Keshet Chaim. In 2004
Keshet Chaim premiered their newest work, "Neshama - Stories of the
Soul", a full evening, multi-media work which will be performed
together with the renowned singer from Israel, David De'Or.
Eytan Avisar, Artistic Director.
 Eytan
began his dancing career on an Israeli kibbutz, where he was
influenced and inspired by the holiday festivals. After graduating
from the Academy of Dance in Beersheba, Eytan began his world travels
with various Israeli folk dance ensembles.In
1968, Eytan toured with Jonathan Karmon's Grand Music Hall of Israel,
which was Israel's official representative of Israeli folk dance
throughout the world. Eytan performed with the Grand Music Hall in
Europe and the United States, appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show. From
1969 through 1973. Eytan was choreographer and lead dancer for
Hatzabarim Dance Group, traveling throughout Europe, South Africa,
Iceland, Canada and the United States. He also choreographed directed,
and produced several other Israeli folk dance troupes associated with
various Jewish organizations.

DC for Israel's 50th anniversary.
Eytan's experience in
choreography and dance has long enlivened audiences and is now
enhancing "KESHET CHAIM" (Rainbow of Life), which he founded in 1983.
Through his creative vision and interpretation of traditional
concepts, he hasraised Israeli dance to new levels. Mr. Avisar is a
great believer in education through art and entertainment and Keshet
Chaim has provided for him a means of expressing the multi-faceted
characteristics of the Jewish people and has allowed him to establish
a dialogue with other communities of the world. His vision is for
Keshet Chaim to become an institution which will continue to
disseminate Jewish culture and perpetuate his love of dance for
generations to come.
Genie Benson (left),
Executive Director, joined Keshet Chaim as a dancer in l987 and in
l988 became the company's administrator. She is primarily
responsible for the company's development as a professional
non-profit organization. Her accomplishments include creating
financial systems, developing promotional materials, creating new
relationships with the concert dance community, utilizing
consultants for artistic and marketing projects, and maintaining an
ongoing relationship with the press. Genie is responsible for the
company bookings and for developing varied programming to keep the
company viable and active. She is also in charge of grant writing
and fundraising as well as researching, hiring and coordinating
artistic staff on all projects. Genie served on the Dance Resource
Center Board of Directors and was the editor for the Zine, their
bi-monthly newsletter for three years. She is currently a member of
the Tel Aviv - Los Angeles Partnership Committee which is part of
the Jewish Federation.

The 92nd Street Y. Is A Major Jewish Culture,

|
The 92nd Street Y is
about people. The people of New York City and the surrounding area. The
people of the United States and of the world. It's about people who
entertain and challenge, inform and educate. It's about people who learn
and discover, observe and participate. |
|
 |
|
The 92nd Street Y
operates in the context of a history that spans over 130 years. Founded
in 1874 as the Young Men's Hebrew Association where Jewish men could
find harmony and good fellowship, the 92nd Street Y today has evolved
into a world-renowned community and cultural center, an organization of
exhilarating vitality and remarkable diversity, a proudly Jewish
institution that reaches out to people of every race, ethnicity,
religion, age and economic class. |
|
|
|
At once a lecture hall,
a performance space, a school, a health center and a community
organization, the Y remains focused on its mission of enriching the
lives of the people who pass through its doors - women and men, young
families and senior citizens, accomplished artists and aspiring
beginners, master instructors and enthusiastic students, world leaders
and concerned citizens. The 92nd Street Y is comprised of eight
programming centers:
Bronfman Center for Jewish Life.:
The
Bronfman Center, generously endowed by the Samuel Bronfman
Foundation, offers a distinguished array of lectures,
interviews, classes, workshops and holiday celebrations that
explore Jewish ideas and themes. Known as a Jewish
home-away-from-home to thousands of adults and children, the
Center offers a wide range of programs to those beginning an
exploration of Judaism, those continuing their studies and those
seeking a better understanding of Jewish values, texts, history
and rituals. Lillian & Sol Goldman Family Center
for Youth & Family: The
Goldman Center provides programs that promote the healthy
development and growth of children of all ages. From classes for
parents-to-be to extensive activities for teens, the Center, endowed by
the Goldman Family, provides a supportive, noncompetitive environment
that encourages children and families to reach their maximum potential.
Center programs include the award-winning Parenting Center, the Nursery
School, the Noar Afterschool Center, 13 summer camps and activities for
children with developmental disabilities. Makor/Steinhardt Center:
Located at 35 West 67th Street, the

launched by Michael Steinhardt in 1999. The Makor/Steinhardt Center, a
generous gift of the Steinhardt family, houses two innovative
programs at its West Side location: Makor and Daytime @ the
Steinhardt Building.
Makor presents a mix of sophisticated contemporary music
performances, film screenings, art exhibits, theater
presentations, literary readings, and classes and lectures, many
of which are devoted to Jewish topics. Simultaneously, Makor
gives New Yorkers in their 20s and 30s opportunities for Jewish
exploration and connection within an environment committed to
Jewish pluralism and intellectual excellence.
Daytime @ the Steinhardt Building is a groundbreaking
leisure/learning program that reaches out to a new generation of
older adults. At Daytime, adults can meet old friends, make new
ones, pick up a new skill, learn about the world from leading
thinkers and experts, discuss ideas and opinions or just relax
over lunch and a glass of wine.
May Center for Health, Fitness &
Sport:
The
May Center provides adults and children with numerous
opportunities for exercise, recreation, health education and
participation in competitive sports. Its comprehensive fitness
facilities include two air-conditioned gyms, a 25-yard swimming
pool, state-of-the-art aerobic and strength conditioning
studios, racquetball courts, an indoor jogging track and more
than 100 exercise classes weekly. The Center, endowed by Leni
and Peter May, also offers programs for special populations
through its Coronary Detection & Intervention Center (CDIC); its
nutrition, osteoporosis and women's health programs; individual
instruction and lectures by leading medical authorities.
Milstein/Rosenthal Center for Media
& Technology:
Endowed in 1999 by two visionary
trustees, board chairman Philip Milstein and longtime board
member John Rosenthal, the
Milstein/Rosenthal Center is spearheading the Y's foray into
the technology age. Working with the other centers, the new
division is developing and implementing technology-based
programs an e-commerce enabled website, long-distance learning,
Internet simulcasts, video conferencing and other new media
tools that will enable the Y to extend its reach beyond its four
walls to communities and constituencies around the world.

The
School of the Arts continues the Y's long history of
offering outstanding instruction in music, dance and the visual
arts. Under its auspices are the School of Music, founded in
1917, the Art Center, founded in 1930, and the Harkness Dance
Center, which offered the modern dance movement its first home
in America in 1936 and continues to present a dance performance
season. Classes are available for all age groups, from preschool
children to senior adults, and at all levels of training, from
vocational beginners to established professional performers,
teachers and choreographers. The School's Educational Outreach
Program brings music, dance and art into the lives of 8,000
economically disadvantaged students in the East and Central
Harlem neighborhoods directly north of the Y.

Partnership with
Elat
Chayyim
Many Jewish people of all ages and from all walks of life
express a deep desire to hear the voice of the divine within
themselves and have a direct experience of God in their hearts.
While some have turned away from Judaism or reached out to
Eastern traditions in this search, many others are finding it or
rediscovering it within Judaism. For more than 10 years, Elat
Chayyim: The Jewish Spiritual Retreat Center, has been a place
where Jews can have a direct experience of the divine. The 92nd
Street Y is proud to bring some of Elat Chayyim’s most powerful
programming and best teachers to New York. |

Jewish prayer is a rich, mysterious

ultimate spiritual practice and highly structured. Filled with
poetry, powerful imagery, Biblical allusions and the deepest
desires of our people, its structure, wordiness and sheer volume
may serve to keep our hearts grounded. This series is meant to

Life at the Frontier:
Courage and Conversation
Every person needs an edge or frontier with the world where a real conversation
is possible. This creative conversational edge is difficult to sustain, but an
absolute necessity for a vital life amidst the continual demands of living. This
workshop will look at the importance of keeping that frontier with family,
colleagues, ourselves and the world, by understanding the essential elements of
real conversation.
BIO: Poet David Whyte grew up among the hills and valleys of Yorkshire, England.
The author of five books of poetry, he is one of the few poets to take his
perspectives on creativity into the field of organizational development, where
he works with many American and international companies. He holds a degree in
Marine Zoology, and has traveled extensively, including working as a naturalist
guide and leading anthropological and natural history expeditions. He brings
this wealth of experiences to his poetry, lectures and workshops. In
organizational settings, using poetry and thoughtful commentary, he illustrates
how we can foster qualities of courage and engagement; qualities needed if we
are to respond to today’s call for increased creativity and adaptability in the
workplace. He brings a unique and important contribution to our understanding of
the nature of individual and organizational change. In addition to his five
volumes of poetry, David Whyte is the author of The Heart Aroused: Poetry and
the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America, published by
Doubleday/Currency, and Crossing the Unknown Sea: Work as a Pilgrimage of
Identity, published by Riverhead Books, an audio cassette lecture series, and an
album of poetry and music. His fifth volume of poetry, Everything is Waiting for
You, was published in October, 2003. He lives with his family in the Pacific
Northwest.

“By God, It’s Actually
Working!”
Appearance is not essence.
Despite the focus of the media on the negativity of world events, the overall
level of consciousness in America and the world is confirmably advancing. The
collective spiritual intention (via the Heisenberg uncertainty principle) has
collapsed the wave function from potentiality to actuality and raised the
calibrated level of consciousness of mankind overall from 190 in the early 1980s
to the current level of 207 on a calibrated measurable Scale of Consciousness
(to be demonstrated). The evolution of consciousness from very ancient
paleontological eras on up through evolution and the animal kingdom and then
Homo sapiens will be tracked and defined. This understanding elucidates the
structure of the ego and thereby facilitates personal spiritual evolution.
Traditional religion fought the ego and demonized it as sin and thereby
unwittingly strengthened it. New thought recontextualizes the ego, which leads
to its dissolution and transcendence. This process is facilitated by the
elucidation of the nature of consciousness itself, which will be presented and
explained.

Chalanda Sai Ma Lakshmi Devi
“Living in the Vibration
of Love”
“Love is a supreme
vibration, a supreme energy. God is Love; Love is God… I am you; You are me”
– Sai Ma. All of us have an inherently divine nature that may be accessed for
the development of self-love and the love of others. As we rediscover the divine
within, that recognition deepens our spiritual nature and our individual and
collective commitment to continued transformation. Honoring the many paths that
connect us to God, Chalanda Sai Ma teaches oneness, wholeness, truth and love.
Whatever our tradition, Sai Ma guides us to a deeper understanding and
experience of our own divine nature, using many different practical tools and
experiential pathways. As Sai Ma says, “Loving God is loving all living
creatures. God is manifesting itself through all…Together, let us all serve our
purpose to its highest. Serving all is our highest puja, our highest worship.
Some worship statues and treat man dreadfully. Where is Love in that? We are the
living Christ, the living God, humanity.” Chalanda Sai Ma, a Holy Being and a
Spiritual Leader, radiates the healing grace of Divine Love. As a Divine
Mother, Sai Ma brings the healing power of love and compassion to humanity. She
answers our heart’s yearning to experience our own true nature, the nature of
the Divine. Bold, fearless and passionate in Her efforts to end our suffering,
Ma is the inspiration behind Humanity in Unity, a nonprofit, charitable
foundation whose purpose is to develop and administer humanitarian projects.
The projects encompass all races, religions, nationalities and cultures.
Honoring the many paths that lead us to God, Ma teaches Oneness, Wholeness,
Truth and Love. Whatever our tradition, Ma guides us to a deeper understanding
of ourselves and of the path we have chosen: “The All is in You, the All is You
and You are All.” Sai Ma travels throughout the world serving humanity. She
works tirelessly supporting programs to end poverty and hunger, to care for the
sick, to educate our children and to bring peace to the planet. Ma moves around
the planet working quietly with an uncommon personal grace and commitment to
bring relief to people of many nations and cultures. Essential to Her work is
the message: “As I serve you, so shall you serve others.”

EVENTS
Old Country
Until October 31, 2005 at THE JEWISH MUSEUM, New York.
 Old
Country (2004)—a 24-minute film adapted from stage work by the
Toronto-based company Kaeja d’Dance—offers a contemporary perspective on a
European community confronted with the Holocaust. Set in Kutno, Poland in
1939 and in Ottawa, Canada in 2003, the film reflects on tensions between
Poles and Jews in a small town. As German soldiers approach Kutno, family
members disappear, friendships erode, and lives are betrayed. The film takes
the viewer on a kinetic journey using rich cinematography, fluid movement,
expressive poetry, and a powerful score. Old Country is based on
personal memories of the choreographer's father during World War II.
Old Country premiered on CBC Television in 2004 and is a recent
acquisition to The Jewish Museum’s National Jewish Archive of Broadcasting.
Founded in 1991, Kaeja Dance is a Toronto-based dance company co-directed
by Allen and Karen Kaeja. Their work has been presented at festivals in
North America, Europe and Asia and at venues including the Banff Centre for
the Performing Arts, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and The Museum of Modern
Art, New York.

Joan Snyder: A Painting Survey,
1969-2005
August 12, 2005 - October 23, 2005

 Joan
Snyder: A Painting Survey, 1969-2005, an exhibition that features a
selection of thirty-one major works representing more than three decades
of the artist’s career. Joan Snyder is an avowed feminist and belongs to
the first generation of women artists to identify themselves as such.
Along with Elizabeth Murray, Mary Heilman, and Miriam Schapiro, Snyder
strove to tame the heroic gestures of male-dominated Abstract
Expressionism into a new intimate painterly language. The paintings on
view range from monumental (some as large as six by twelve feet) to
modest in scale. They take the viewer by surprise as the artist
skillfully invests the large canvases with an intensely personal
sensibility and the smaller ones with astonishing grandeur.
Snyder gained early recognition with her "stroke paintings" which she
made between 1969 and 1973. These works relied on the repeated gesture
of a paint-laden brush applied over a grid penciled on the canvas. With
the physicality of their drips and marks, the stroke paintings exploited
new opportunities for narrative within abstraction. The tension between
narrative content and formalism in these works may be seen in the larger
context of the art world of the late 1960s, in which cool, hard-edged
minimalism was pervasive and painting with any emotional reference was
suspect. The artist has said that the strokes are about paint
itself—paint moving across the canvas; paint as medium for feelings,
sensations, or sounds; paint suggesting a storyline. After making these
abstractions, Snyder felt the need to create more complex works, which
express her political and social concerns. She moved on to paintings
that integrate personal associations she has with her family, feminism,
her Jewish heritage, spirituality, and the environment. Consequently her
work moved from an implied narrative about the act of making art to a
more personal narrative.
Snyder’s works serve as a barometer of her emotional life,
simultaneously reflecting specific places in which she has lived, as
well as her social concerns and commitment. Works such as Women in
Camps (1988) and Study for Morning Requiem with Kaddish
(1987-88, in The | |
