AMERICA'S 100 GREATEST JEWISH WOMEN. BY MAXIMILLIEN de LAFAYETTE. We did not write about them and  print their photos, because their husbands or fiancés bought them a $4 million diamond ring or a $140,000 Christian Dior's wedding gown and became a celebrity overnight! We did, because, meaningfully, they contributed to our society, to arts, to humanities, to education, to science and world peace. They are here, not because, they threw the best parties in the Hamptons, Ibiza or Malibu, or because Joan Rivers said so, the National Enquirer gossiped about them, or because, they know the difference between Calvados, Chateau D'Yquem and root bear. They are on our list, because, they brought warmth to our families, light to our eyes, tender whispers and gentle affection to our hearts, and....because they are the best in their fields! We selected them, because they have heart, brains, presence, principles, culture, remarkable accomplishments, "un je ne sais quoi", a certain mesmerizing aura, perhaps, some have a delightful madness Read the full article and see their photos!

Beyond Bagels and Blintzes – Exploring the Global Diversity of Jewish Food

Photo: Rabbi Chava E. Koster, the first woman from the Netherlands to be ordained a rabbi, has joined The Village Temple, a liberal Reform congregation of over 300 families, celebrating its 51st year. Prior to this, she was Associate Rabbi at Temple B'nai Abraham in Livingston, New Jersey. Rabbi Koster studied at the Academy for Jewish Religion and was ordained in 1997. She was awarded her Doctoral degree in English Historical Linguistics by the University of Amsterdam in 1986 and a Masters Degree in Jewish Studies and Jewish Education from the Jewish Theological Seminary in 1993. She also earned a fellowship at the Melton Center for Research in Jewish Education in New York that same year.
 

Jewish food has had a strong influence on American cuisine, primarily foods of Eastern European origin. Once limited to New York City, the formerly exotic bagel is now a staple of the world’s diet and is sold from Singapore to Mexico City. Jewish food goes, however, well beyond the bagels and blintzes. Acclaimed food expert, chef, historian (and Rabbi) Gil Marks will explore the global diversity of Jewish food. Rabbi Marks, an authority on Jewish cooking, will prepare several fabulous holiday dishes.  He will discuss his experiences exploring Jewish communities and cuisine all over the world.  Rabbi Marks is the author of Olive Trees & Honey (Winner of 2002 James Beard Award) . He has been featured on radio and television, including the Food Network's "Food Live" and has taught at the Culinary Institute of America and at Macy's De Gustibus. This event is sponsored by the Village Temple Sisterhood on Wednesday, September 21st at 7:00 p-m at the Village Temple, 33 East 12th Street, between University Place and Broadway, two blocks from the Union Square Subway Station. The suggested donation is $5.00. The Village Temple Sisterhood is a multi-generational group of dynamic women. It serves the Village Temple community by offering supportive programs that enhance the warmth of worship services and the connectedness of all Jews.

Equus at Mehu Gallery

The Mehu Gallery, well-known for its intriguing exhibits, and located at 21 West 100^th Street, New York, NY, 10025 right by beautiful Central Park, is currently exhibiting an outstanding show: Equus. Horse-related images are the theme for this extraordinary event, but a horse is not always a horse, it can be something totally different.  This is an art show of great diversity, showcasing the talents of thirteen artists of all backgrounds, nationalities, and ethic origin. Watercolors, oils, pastels, pencils, photographs, shadow boxes and three dimensional art objects are there, with each artist giving his or her own unique meaning to the elusive theme. Some of the artists are well known, a few are young and show great promise. All are impressive. Patricia J. Wynne needs no introduction. For decades, her work graced private collections, museums, and art galleries. As always, her art is outstanding, scientifically accurate, artistically impeccable, and emotionally captivating. Her magnificent study of one of the gilded bronze horses of San Marco dominates the show. Maceo Mitchell, an award-winning member of the Pastel Society of America in the National Arts Club, where he exhibits regularly and teaches as well, explained that horses are a new subject for him. Generally he concentrates on highly disciplined studies of fruit and vegetables. Despite his complains about the anatomy of horses, the work is up to his usual high standard. I was particularly impressed with his elegant study of a zebra head.

Each artist brought a unique style. Dianne Gaspas’s sea horses, meticulously rendered in watercolor, are charming, the subject matter showing a touch of whimsy and great elegance. Ivy Rutzky’s soft pastels of “The West Viewed from Horseback” have a dreamy quality, drawing you into her own special universe of delicate light and shadow. Daisy Eneix work is intriguing, particularly her historically influenced “Door” from Switzerland. Gabrielle de Montmollin’s luminous black and white photographs are stunning. She named them “Untitled” but to me they bring to mind the mystery of  A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Dustin D’Andrea digitally enhanced photographs are amusing and beautifully designed. A young artist with great promise.   As for the three-dimensional art, Greg Thomas presented interesting, well-crafted, and appealing woodwork bowls, and Ilil Arbel’s royally dressed and crowned Catherine the Great as a Horse, holding her own unicorn, has a strange, somewhat disturbing beauty.  Do not miss this exhibition!

E q u u s: September 15 – October 9, 2005. Reception: Thursday September 15th, 6 to 9 pm. MEHU GALLERY, 21 West 100th Street, New York City 10025, 212-222-3334. Tuesday – Friday: 12 – 3pm & 5 – 8pm. Saturday and Sunday: 12 – 6pm. Talk: Evolution of the hors. Sunday, September 18th, 1:00 By Suzi Zetkus. Closing reception:. Sunday October 9th 3 to 6pm (Artist Demonstration).

Help for Families in Alchohol Crisis: First Biography Reveals the Dramatic Story Behind Al-Anon

William ‘Bill’ Borchert, famed screenwriter and author of The Lois Wilson Story will discuss his book, "The Lois Wilson Story: When Love Is Not Enough", his close friendship with Lois Wilson and how the book came about.*Sponsored by Choices Bookstore in Manhattan. Monday, October 3^rd, 7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m., at St. Joseph's Church at 404 E. 87 Street (between First and York Avenues). For years, anonymity safely guarded the founder of Al-Anon’s identity.  Upon her death in 1988, the name Lois Burnham Wilson was released as the creator of Al-Anon, the organization founded to support family of alcoholics.  But nearly two decades after her death, little is known about the woman who birthed one of the most important movements of the Twentieth Century.  Her compelling story is dramatically revealed in The Lois Wilson Story: When Love Is Not Enough (Hazelden, October 2005, $24.95). Lois Wilson, the wife of the man who co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), stuck by her husband through years of abuse.  Based on her personal experience and her witnessing other spouses and children similarly impacted, Wilson came to realize that alcoholism is a family disease and that the solution was a program for recovery she would call Al-Anon. The “Twelve Step Programs” that Wilson developed for Al-Anon and her husband, Bill, developed for Alcoholics Anonymous are among the most successful forces for good in the world today.  Lois and Bill Wilson are heroes to millions of recovering people worldwide and generations who credit AA and Al-Anon and the Twelve Steps with saving their lives.

(James Woods), a successful stock broker who's life falls apart after the stock crash of the 20's must and come to grips with his alcoholism. He forms a support group with fellow drunk (James Garner)that would eventually become Alcoholic's Anonymous.

THE AUTHOR: In 1989, William ‘Bill’ Borchert was nominated for an Emmy after writing the highly acclaimed Warner Brothers/Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, My Name Is Bill W., which starred James Garner, James Woods, and JoBeth Williams.  Borchert has also written for one of New York City’s largest daily newspapers, a major media wire service and a national magazine.  After creating syndicated radio shows, he later became a partner at Artists Entertainment Complex. Borchert is a member of The Writers Guild of America and a director of The Stepping Stones Foundation.  He splits his time between New York City and South Carolina.

SKIP THE STEREOTYPES BUT PASS THE CHALLAH JEWISH MOTHERS WELCOME HERE
 

At San Francisco's Congregation Sherith Israel, you won't find young women rejecting the title of "Jewish Mother". Instead, here they embrace it. Just ask the young mothers who make up the Sherith Israel Mamas, a support group designed to help women create a Jewish home for their families. The group, which began almost 18 months ago, is committed to making parenting a spiritual journey.  Lida Morgenstein, a new mother and congregation member, created "Mamas". She saw the need for a small, consistent group that would meet weekly and share experiences about the specific issues of both parenting small children and creating a Jewish home. Mimi Greisman, Sherith Israel's Early Childhood Educator, joins in part of the time with child rearing advice, and Rabbi Julie Saxe-Taller, herself a new mom, helps the group understand the Jewish ways of doing things, but the mothers themselves run the program. The group read "The Blessing of the Skinned Knee", a book on being a Jewish parent, and that first ten week session led to another and another and another until it lasted for 40 weeks. "It is important that this group is lay-led, " said Lida. "Sharing advice with each other rather than from experts somehow feels better and is more palatable. There are so many different approaches to parenting. But we all have kids going through the "terrible twos" or the defiant 3's, and we all have husbands who don't necessarily see things the way we do and none of us want to confuse the kids." Lida cautions that none of the parents claim to be experts they are just sharing experiences, and it is the sharing of intimate stories that makes the group work. "If women are not comfortable sharing, if they are really private people, this may not be the right place for them," she added.

Creating a Jewish home and strengthening a feeling of community are the real goals of the Mamas group. Members come from all levels of Jewish education and backgrounds; for example, some have celebrated the Sabbath consistently in the past, some never. "Now we feel like we are taking 'Shabbat 101' together so it takes away the pressure to do it right," said Lida. The women discuss how to make Shabbat meaningful and relevant in their own homes. For some it means a slower, quieter meal, holding hands, a family hug; others invite another family to share the meal. Through the year, the group studies the major Jewish holidays, what they mean, how to make them relevant to the children, what craft projects might be appropriate. Many of the mothers welcome this first experience with ritual, and they have added family potlucks, holiday decorating parties, and other social gatherings.  The Mamas group has space for 10 women at a time, and a new one is forming now. It is ideal for women with children under the age of 3 who want to incorporate Jewish traditions and values in their parenting. Meetings are every Friday morning for 10 weeks. Fee is $120 for members/$150 for nonmembers. For more info, email lida@morgenstein.net. Contact: Miriam Goodman: 415 626 5149

Rabin musical premieres in Tel Aviv

Photos from L to R: #1.Gila Almagor. #2. Oded Teomi.

An inspirational way to remember and cherish the memory of  Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin came in a most refreshing way:  "HE WHO DREAMED", a MUSICAL to be performed in November 2005  in Tel Aviv. The play rotates around the last 10 memorable years of the Israeli leader and world peace lover  who was assassinated in 1995. Gila Almagor, one of the best Israeli artists will play Leah Rabin, while Oded Teomi will portray the late Rabin. It is an all stars production which includes the highly celebrated Israeli singer Shuly Natan.  The musical is written and directed by Gadi Inbar, a Los Angeles bases playwright. Gila Almagor, one of Israel`s leading actresses, was born in Eretz Israel in 1939, four months after the death of her father, and grew up in various children`s institutions. She has been a professional actress since the age of 17. At age 25, Almagor went to study in New York. On her return two years later, she started performing in Israel`s top theaters.

She has also appeared in leading roles in some 40 movies as well as in numerous television programs, and has hosted her own radio show for eight years. Gila Almagor has published four books for children. Her first book, Aviya`s Summer, has been translated into nine languages. The film based on the book received the Berlin Silver Bear Award (1989), the Golden Spike Award at the Spanish Valladolid Festival (1989), and was named Best Foreign Film at the 1989 San Remo Festival. In 2004, Almagor received the Israel Prize for Cinema. She is actively involved in voluntary work with children suffering from cancer.

Since she first electrified Israel with her heartfelt rendition of the then unknown song, Jerusalem of Gold, Shuly Nathan has sung of the hope and the pain of the nation. Ever since that historic performance in 1967, Shuly Nathan has performed for countless audiences, in Israel and worldwide. Her unique voice holds the listeners in its spell, and every performance turns into a spontaneous sing-along. A storyteller, she accompanies her songs with stories in Hebrew, English, French and Spanish. Shuly Nathan accompanies herself on the guitar, as she sings Israeli songs, folk songs from around the world, Hassidic and Yiddish songs and songs of the Oriental Jewish community. Her concerts last one and one-half hours.  Her singing can also be incorporated into performances on a larger scale,  for both personal and public events with a touch of gold. Shuly Nathan has lived in Israel since she was two years old, when she arrived here with her parents from her native London. Her childhood was an active pursuit of two passions - athletics and music.

At age 16 she made the choice to concentrate on music, singing and playing the guitar. In the military, she was a soldier-teacher, bringing literacy skills to new immigrants. As she taught them to read and write in Hebrew, they taught her to sing in their native languages. During that period she also appeared on amateur radio programs.  Songwriter and composer Naomi Shemer heard her singing, and asked Shuly Nathan to sing a song she had written "as a vignette," an addition to the Independence Day Song Contest in Jerusalem. The year was 1967, the song was Jerusalem of Gold. It is a song that has stood, stands, and will stand above all competition. At the time Shuly Nathan was still a soldier, and as she traveled along the war zone entertaining the troops with her singing, the song took on a life of its own, turning into a hymn, a prayer for peace. It was sung by worried civilians and by weary soldiers. It was the heartbeat of the nation. The population of Israel was then 2,500,000 - and 300,000 records were sold, a number unheard of in those days. Since then, Jerusalem of Gold has been translated into some forty languages. More songs followed. Part of the prevailing mood of the sixties was the reawakening interest in folksongs, and Shuly Nathan embraced this grassroots form. She collected folksongs as she traveled, and traveled as she sang her songs. She sang songs of Israel and of Jews from around the world, American and Irish folksongs, Hassidic and Ladino songs. Many of these songs are available on CDs. For a decade or so her singing voice was silenced by the clamor of her five children, but as they grew up, she returned to performing and recording. She has toured the United States and Canada, sung in many European cities, and in Australia Japan and South America.

BENJAMIN LAPIDUS AND SONIDO ISLEÑO CELEBRATE RELEASE OF "VIVE JAZZ" CD IN CONCERT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7 AT CLEMENTE SOTO VÉLEZ CULTURAL CENTER, NYC
 

Photo: Maestro virtuoso, Benjamin Lapidus.

Tres master and guitarist Benjamin Lapidus and Sonido Isleño will celebrate the release of their fifth CD "Vive Jazz" with a CD release concert on Friday, October 7 at the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural Center, 107 Suffolk Street, in NYC.  Joining Lapidus are bassist Francisco Javier Cotto, percussionists Felix Sanabria, Hector Torres, and Michael Molina as well as numerous guests.  Since 1996, this combination of New York musicians has thrilled audiences throughout the world.  The music's great - a mix of  jazz and Spanish-Caribbean music full of mystery, melody, improvisation, and groove which achieves its sound with string instruments and percussion - and Lapidus is a fascinating guy. Born in Hersey, PA to first-generation American Jewish Brooklynites, he moved almost 15 times before returning to New York City at the age of 14.   He was exposed to music by his grandmother and his father, who played in Latin and Jazz bands in the Catskills in the 1950's.   Through his father's record collection and stories of his father's visits with his Latin American relatives, the seeds of Latin music were planted.  Yet it wasn't until the 1980's that the youngest Lapidus became immersed in Latin music, when he moved to a predominantly Latin neighborhood in New York City.   Some of his music reflects a merging of his Jewish and Latin roots.   One piece on the CD, "Heebaro" is based on the traditional jíbaro music of Puerto Rico, and references Lapidus' long-term involvement and comfort with Jewish and Latino interactions.   In addition, he has served as scholar-in-residence with the Jewish Museum during three humanitarian missions to the Jewish communities of Cuba....Read the full article    In Internet Format
