A Shared Vision for Jewish Studies
in Italian Community Schools

img headerBy Adam Smulevich

The Progetto Curricolo Nazionale Studi Ebraici (Project for a National Curriculum in Jewish studies) promoted by the Union of Italian Jewish Communities (UCEI) has reached its final stages after five years of intense work with the participation of the four Italian Jewish schools (Trieste, Turin, Milan and Rome) and their managers, teachers, and educators.
Four programs of Jewish studies have been formulated, differentiated by each school, but with the same methodology and scientific approach.
The collective effort was the topic of a series of meetings that took place in the local communities with the participation of the scientific director Shmuel Wygoda, a professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem who has been cooperating with the UCEI.
This endeavor represents a unique initiative in the diaspora communities, commented Professor Wygoda in his closing speech in Rome. “No Jewish reality in Europe, he said, has worked on a similar project for its educational commitments".

Adriano Ossicini (1920-2019)

img headerBy Pagine Ebraiche staff

Physician Adriano Ossicini passed away on Friday at the age of 98. During the Second World War, Ossicini had been involved in a scheme conceived by professor Giovanni Borromeo at the Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Rome to save dozens of Jews from deportation.
Borromeo made up a fictitious infectious disease “Syndrome K”, that allowed Jews to find shelter in the hospital as patients. Ossicini at the time was volunteering at the hospital while studying medicine at university.
In his youth, Ossicini distinguished himself for his commitment against Fascism. After the war he completed his studies, became a doctor and a psychologist and was also active in Italian politics, as a member of Parliament and as a minister.

Lebensende, das gemeinsame Manifest

img header

Pagine Ebraiche*

Ein gemeinsame Bezugspunkt um die Rechte zu bestimmen und für die Beachtung der Würde und die religiöse und geistliche Stütze zu garantieren an denen, die sich in der letzten Phase ihres Lebens in Gesundheitseinrichtungen befinden. Diesem Bedürfnis entspricht das „Interreligiöse Manifest der Rechten der Lebensendesprozessen“, dass heute in Rom, in dem Saal des Commendatores des Denkmalkomplexes „Santo Spirito“ vorgelegt wurde.
Das Ergebnis erreichte man dank der Beteiligung verschiedener religiöser Gemeinden auf nationaler Ebene, u.a. die Union der jüdischen Gemeinden von Italien (UCEI), und seine Entwicklung begann mit ASL Roma 1, GMC-Katholische Universität Sacro Cuore und Tavolo Interreligioso di Roma (interreligiöser Tish Roms), die die Fördergruppe darstellen.
„Das heute angesprochene Thema ist besonders wichtig. Die Regierung ist auf die Zusammenarbeit gut vorbereitet“; so versicherte Ministerin Giulia Grillo, die nach der Unterzeichnung sprach (für UCEI hat die Präsidentin Noemi Di Segni, vom Vizepräsident Giorgio Mortara und Rat Guido Coen begleitet, unterzeichnet).
Die Zeremonie begann mit Beitragen von dem Generaldirektor der ASL Roma 1 Angelo Tanese, dem Präsidenten der GMC-Katholische Universität Sacro Cuore und der Präsidentin des Tavolo Interreligioso di Roma Maria Angela Falà.

Respeto

Anna Foa*

Se produjo ayer en Turín otro caso de ofensa a los minusválidos y a sus familias: el típico conductor arrogante, no contento con haber aparcado el coche delante de un jardín de infancia en un espacio reservado para una niña discapacitada, ante la reacción de la madre de la niña dejó en el parabrisas de su coche una nota con insultos vulgares. No tomemos a la ligera estos y otros episodios similares. No es una señal tranquilizadora que se ofendan y humillen cada vez con mayor frecuencia los más débiles, los discapacitados, los mendigos, los vagabundos, a los que hay quien se deshace de sus mantas, el único refugio en las noches pasadas al frío al aire libre.

To the Moon

img

By Daniela Fubini*

So we go to the moon. We as Israel, as a tiny country in a bullying neighborhood, we as a people lacking big numbers anywhere but in entrepreneurship, we as the Start-Up Nation in fact. At 03:45 during the night between Thursday and Friday, 22nd of February, the tiny - him too - spacecraft SpaceIL, named “Bereshit” will begin its journey to the moon, where it will make a landing, then move 500 meter on the moon’s surface, and finally send back high resolution images to us, on the old planet Earth. Now, that is a plan. Fun fact: it all started with a Google challenge. Less fun fact: Google eventually dropped the challenge, but evidently we were too much into it already, and a good Israeli knows that worse than a challenge you didn’t take is only one you abandoned.
