Dear Colleague,

A reminder that the deadline for submission of proposals for the 38th Annual Conference of the Association for Jewish Studies, December 17 - 19, 2006 in San Diego, California, is Monday, April 24, 2006 at 5:00 p.m.  The AJS is unable to accept proposals submitted after the deadline.  All proposals must be submitted through the AJS

An important request regarding audio-visual equipment at the conference.  In submitting your proposal, please make sure to request only those pieces of audio-visual equipment that you definitely need.  This equipment and the associated technician support are extremely expensive to make available for conference use.  For this reason, the AJS can only provide a limited amount, particularly of high-tech equipment.  We appreciate your assistance in our effort to keep conference costs down and the conference registration fee at its current level.

Invitación. El CENTRO DIDÁCTICO DE LA JUDERÍA DE SEGOVIA inicia su ciclo de conferencias 2006

CICLO CONFERENCIAS en el CENTRO DIDÁCTICO DE LA JUDERÍA DE SEGOVIA

"LA ESPAÑA JUDÍA"

ANTIGUA CASA DE ABRAHAM SENEOR, Calle JUDERÍA VIEJA, 12, patio interior - SEGOVIA

Un análisis desde el divan del psicoanalista

Desde que en 1992 su Majestad el Rey de España Juan Carlos I diera la bienvenida oficial en la sinagoga de Madrid a los hispanojudios "en la casa común de todos los españoles con independencia de cual sea su credo o religión ... porque están en su propia casa" se han ido desrrollando gran cantidad de tareas destinadas a la reuperación de la memoria histórica, un riquisimo patrimonio cultural, etnográfico y arqueológico. Al mismo tiempo han ido surgiendo a lo largo y ancho de la geografia peninsular centros didácticos y lugares de referencia divulgativos. Precisamente ahora que el Ayuntamiento, a través de la Concejalia de Patimonio Histórico, está iniciando la recuperación del barrio de la judería, calificado como area de Protección Integrada, es el momento especialmente oportunoi para llamar la atención sobre el significado que esta culktura tuvo en nuestra ciudad.

Este ciclo de conferencias pretende reflexionar sobre algunos aspectos necesariamente introductorias de la España judía, dando por buenas las palabras del ilustre historiar británico Arnold Toynbee: "Donde hubo pasado habrá futuro".

7. New Film: “The Father Language” (Kimchi)

Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006

From: rami nathan <raminathan(at)hotmail.com>

I am pleased to announce that my new film Father Language (the previous name was "My Father and Other Rabbis") is about to be released in a month (see synopsis below). The film will join my other two films about my family (“Cinema Egypt” and “Travels with my Brother”) to create a trilogy.

An article by Yossef Raz in which Cinema Egypt is being discussed largely is about to be published in _Third Text_.

_Father Language_/ Rami Kimchi, 47 min.,  (Israel 2006)

The film presents a portrait of Jacko  (86), father of the director, Rami Kimchi.  Jacko, an English teacher, was born in Alexandria,   Egypt. The film focuses on his study period at the Sephardic Rabbinical Seminary in Rhodes (which existed from 1927 to 1939) - an institution that constituted the last project of   Sephardic Jewry in the Mediterranean region. During a sea voyage from Haifa (Israel) to Rhodes, surrounded by the beautiful sites bordering the Mediterranean, father and son talk, in an attempt  to reconstruct both their bond and the father's Mediterranean Sephardic culture which has disappeared.

The film creates an analogy between the father's mental blocks and the disappearance of the Sephardic culture and points to the importance of keeping alive the mother tongue, both to the individual as a prerequisite for love, and to the ethnic group as a source for a distinctive collective identity. Interspersed in the film are video clips of  Ladino songs produced and sung by the famous Ladino singer Yasmin Levy.

ABOUT H-Portugal

H-Portugal provides a forum for the discussion of issues, new and old, related to the study of Portuguese history. It brings together the sage historian and those who are just beginning their journey into Portuguese history. Since collaboration and the sharing of information is the primary goal of this discussion list we make sure that researchers are familiar with other sources on the web, and elsewhere, related to the study of Portugal. For example, there is the Portuguese Studies Review, Portuguese Studies, Lusotopie, the Portuguese Studies series from UCSB, and our own H-Luso-Africa. More recently, Brown University.s e-journal of Portuguese history has begun to publish articles on various aspects of Portuguese history. We will work with all of these different mediums to provide an even richer experience for the student of Portuguese studies.

Like all H-Net lists, H-Portugal is moderated to edit out material that, in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves technical matters (such as subscription management requests), is inflammatory, or violates evolving, yet common, standards of Internet etiquette.

9. Cochin Diary: Jewish Life in Southern India - Exhibition Opened April 3, 2006 (Tenenbaum)

Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2006

From: American Sephardi Federation with Sephardic House <info(at)americansephardifederation.org>

Exhibit Portrays Jewish Life in Southern India

March 1, 2006, New York, New York—The American Sephardi Federation announces the opening of its latest exhibit, Cochin Diary: Jewish Life in Southern India, featuring color photographs and historic objects that capture the spirit and transformation of the centuries-old community of Cochin in the costal region of southern India. On display at the Center for Jewish History at 15 West 16th Street in New York City from April 3 through June 30, 2006. Admission to the exhibit is free of charge. Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

The exhibit opens on April 3 at 7 p.m. with a special reception featuring guest speakers Ambassador Neelam Deo, Consul General of India in New York, Dr. Kenneth Robbins, Author and scholar of Indian Art and History and exhibit’s photographer Joshua Eli Cogan. This event is open to the public with a general admission fee of $25 and $20 for ASF members, seniors and students. For more information or to reserve tickets, call 212-294-8350.

Cochin Diary: Jewish Life in Southern India tells the story of a place in time where local adherents of the world’s four major religions coexisted peacefully. It also vividly portrays what remains of the city’s Jewish presence in the Indian port city of Cochin. The photographs deal with the legacy of this community as told primarily through the architecture of relics, abandoned synagogues and cemeteries. When the exhibit first opened in 2004 to a Washington, D.C. audience, the Washington Post praised it for its originality, noting the “evocative” and “elegantly composed” nature of the photos. Select archival video images and historical artifacts from the private collection of Dr. Kenneth and Joyce Robbins will also be on display. Viewers will come to discover and appreciate how friendship between Jews and their Indian hosts gave rise to a prosperous and pluralistic society that is perhaps a model in the history of the world-wide Jewish Diaspora.      

The photographs are the work of documentary photographer Joshua Eli Cogan whose reportages span Israel, Egypt, Turkey, Europe, the West Indies and India. His deep interest in cultural anthropology suffuses his work which he has combined successfully with photography since 1997. He has worked in the National Geographic and digital imaging laboratory and is currently pursing his master’s degree in applied anthropology at the University of Maryland. 

Historical Background on the “Jewish Kingdom of Kerala”

Legend dates the arrival of the Jews in the country to close to 2000 years ago, although the historical documentation available neither substantiates or dispoveves these traditions. The earliest evidence of a Jewish presence dates to 379 C.E. when in gratitude for their contribution to the kingdom, the Jewish leader Jospeh Rabbon received a set of copper plates describing “princely rights” bestowed by the Indiran ruler Sri Vanmar, pronouncing him “Prince of His Village.”   The Jewish rulers had all the rights reserved to the ruling families of the Indian kingdoms. “The Jews have been allied with the Rajas of Cochin for hundreds of years. The Rajas befriended, protected, and favored the Jews allowing them to openly practice their religion,” notes author Dr. Kenneth Robbins.

In 1524, Jews in the “pepper trade” in Craganore, just north of Cochin, were forced to flee to Cochin and found protection under the Hindu Raja. He granted them land adjacent to his own palace for a town that became known as “Jew Town,” and for the Paradesi Synagogue built in 1568. Jews continued to come in small numbers throughout the centuries. The Cochin community grew during the 16th century with an influx of Sephardic Jews primarily from Spain, Portugal and Holland, escaping the Inquisition, and others who emigrated from the Middle East. The newcomers were called “Paradesis,” a world that means foreigners in Malayalam. They adapted the native language and customs but made certain efforts to distinguish themselves. At its height, it is thought that the community numbered in the several thousand Jewish families. While only a handful of Jews still live in Cochin today, remnants in “Jew Town” bear witness to how Jewish customs and Indian lifestyle mixed to create a rich culture apart.

10. Report on “Cochin Diary: Jewish Life in Southern India”

(American Sephardi Federation)

Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2006

From: American Sephardi Federation with Sephardic House <info(at)americansephardifederation.org>

Exhibition Opening

Great Sephardic Jewish Communities in the Diaspora

Cochin Diary: Jewish Life in Southern India

The American Sephardi Federation with Sephardic House opened the exhibit “Cochin Diary:  Jewish Life in Southern India” on April 3rd in the Leon Levy Gallery at the Center for Jewish History, in keeping with its mission to highlight and enlighten the public about the many historical Sephardic Jewish communities in the Diaspora and emphasize the importance of Sephardic history and heritage in the context of Jewish and world history.

The evening was a great success with over 300 people of all ages in attendance. Greetings from ASF director, Esmé Emmanuel Berg; Ambassador Neelam Deo, Counsel General of India in NY; and Daniel S. Mariaschin, President of B'nai B'rith International began the program. Presentations by the photographer Joshua Eli Cogan and Professor Kenneth X. Robbins, an expert on Indian art and history, offered a glimpse into the history of the Cochini Jewish community that dates, it is thought, as far back as the destruction of the Second Temple. "Kerala has been hospitable to Jews and Judaism for over 2000 years," explained Dr. Robbins.  "Jews have been accepted as Jews, not just as individuals to be assimilated and lost to the Jewish people."  Following the program in the Leo and Julia Forchheimer Auditorium guests were treated to a sumptuous authentic Indian-Jewish buffet.

ASF will continue its focus on Cochin with a screening of the film The Cochin Jews of India, a film by Johanna Spector on May 18th 2006 at 7 PM.  Joshua Cogan will once again be present to talk about his photographs.  Event details can be found on our website, www.americansephardifederation.org  or by calling 212-294-8350.

For those who were not at our event please look for more information about the Jews of Kerala, India in the forthcoming issue of _The Sephardi Report_, our bi-annual magazine and benefit of membership to the American Sephardi Federation with Sephardic House.  For membership information, please call Ellen Cohen at 212-294-8350 or write to her at ecohen(at)asf.cjh.org

In addition, to further your knowledge about the Jews of Southern India, we are offering the following book and CD for sale.  They can be purchased at our online bookstore www.americansephardifederation.org/sub/store/bookstore_index.asp or by calling the ASF office at 212-294-8350.

12. “Crossroads of the Three Cultures in Spain” program, spring 2007 (Lenhart and Labendz)

Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2006

From: Jacob Labendz <JLabendz(at)academic-travel.com>

CET Academic Programs is pleased to announce the launch of Crossroads of the Three Cultures in Spain!

Dear Colleagues:

It is my pleasure to announce that CET will be launching our “Crossroads of the Three Cultures in Spain” program in spring 2007. This unique program will be based in Ávila, a beautiful walled city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of Castile. We will be accepting applications on a rolling basis from September 1 through October 1, 2006.  

CET's program of activities and travel in Spain will inform and advance the understanding we have of the three cultures of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism within the context of Spain's history, society, arts and literature. As the historical foundation is laid, students will apply the lessons learned to the modern context and enhance their learning experience with experiential study trips to cities and villages near Ávila, cities in Andalucía, and finally, Morocco.

Crossroads of the Three Cultures in Spain is accredited through the University of Salamanca and all courses are taught in Spanish.

We are excited about this new program, and hope that you will share this information with students. For more details, visit our Web site at www.cetacademicprograms.com or contact CET at (800) 225-4262 or cet(at)academic-travel.com.
