Italian Jews Mobilize to Help Israel after Fires

By Pagine Ebraiche staff

The Union of Italian Jewish Communities (UCEI) has been working with the Israeli authorities to provide support and assistance to the country savaged by fire.
“Every inch of the land of Israel has been tilled with love and care. Every inch is disputed, every plot threatened by danger. We want to express our solidarity to the Israeli people and our pain for the fires that are devastating and threatening the civilian population and the hard work of so many years,” UCEI president Noemi Di Segni declared in a statement.
The UCEI promotes a fund-raising campaign to support the people in need.

Conmemoran 500 años del primer gueto en el mundo

Redacción*

Con motivo del quinto centenario de la creación del primer gueto en el mundo, asentado en Venecia, el Palacio Ducal alojó una muestra que documenta la génesis de esa forma de segregación racial en perjuicio de los judíos, así como la lucha que éstos libraron en defensa de su libertad, explica Donatella Calabi, encargada de la curaduría.
La exposición Venecia: los judíos y Europa 1516-2016, que concluyó el domingo pasado en ese recinto, surgió para recordar un episodio determinante en el devenir de esa ciudad italiana.

An Israeli Osteopath

By Susanna Calimani*

Yesterday I went to the osteopath for the first time. I am often in pain with my cervical nerves and the doctor told me that physiotherapy was not enough. Out of all the osteopaths in Frankfurt, I happened to have an Israeli osteopath, he asked me whether I speak Hebrew, I asked him whether he speaks German, when and why he decided to live in Germany, if his family and friends are all doing fine with all these fires and arsons, if he misses Israel, if he goes back often, if he ever thinks of going back. .

IT HAPPENED TOMORROW

Hadar Goldin

By Guido Vitale

"It has been more than two years since Hadar Goldin disappeared down a dark hole. The young Israeli lieutenant was last seen being dragged into a Hamas tunnel during the 2014 Gaza war. Bits of his equipment were recovered, stained with blood and tissue — enough evidence for forensic pathologists and army rabbis to declare him killed in action. But Goldin's body is still being held by Hamas, the Islamist militant movement that controls the Gaza Strip. His mother, Leah Goldin, said, "We have no way to come to an end of our mourning until we bring him home" It is a terrible thing to have nothing to bury, and in this the Goldin family is not alone." (Washington Post, November 26 2016).

Glimpsing the Mantuan Ghetto through Music

By Susan Miron*

It was a colorful affair last Thursday in Harvard’s Paine Hall in many senses. “Italian Baroque Music from the Jewish Ghetto” (mostly Salamone Rossi) featured scholar Christoph Wolff and conductor and harpsichordist Nicholas McGegan joined by an impressive array of forces including scholar Francesco Spagnolo and superb soprano Sherezade Panthaki. McGegan presented an enlightening lecture/recital, bringing this fascinating musical period to life via the Yale Voxtet, a group of eight graduate students at the Institute of Sacred Music, and the excellent Philharmonic Baroque Chamber Players, comprising violinists Katherine Kyme and Noah Strick, cellist Phoebe Carrai, and theorbist David Tayler.

*Susan Miron is a book critic, essayist, and harpist. Her last two CDs featured her transcriptions of keyboard music of Domenico Scarlatti. This article was published in The Boston Musical Intelligencer on November 21, 2016.
