Les Femmes de l'ombre / Female Agents (2008)

2008-10-09T23:40:00.001+02:00

"In May 1944, a group of French servicewomen and resistance fighters are enlisted into the British Special Operations Executive commando group under the command of Louise Desfontaines and her brother Pierre.

Their mission, to rescue a British army geologist caught reconnoitering the beaches at Normandy, and to kill a German SS colonel who is close to figuring out the imminent secret of D-Day, proves to be emotional and brutal.

The story is inspired by the accomplishments of decorated SOE agent Lisé de Baissac."

Judiska Teatern: Different Trains

2008-08-06T18:11:00.006+02:00

DIFFERENT TRAINS
Steve Reich / Pia Forsgren / Fläskkvartetten / Ann Wåhlström

Fläskkvartetten spelar Steve Reich i ett glasrum av Ann Wåhlström. Premiär 27 september på Judiska Teatern.

Judiska Teaterns chef och konstnärliga ledare Pia Forsgren, senast aktuell med den hyllade uppsättningen Hundarna i Prag av Marguerite Duras, tar nu tag i en länge närd dröm – att bygga en scenografi i glas. Hon iscensätter den amerikanske kompositören Steve Reichs Different Trains och gör det hela till en glaskonsert. Här omges musiker och publik av böljande glasformer i ett spel med ljus, klanger och skiftande transparens.

För att få till den översta bilden var jag tvungen att hoppa upp tre meter i luften. Notera kamerans blixt endast på trafikskyltarna till höger. Klicka på bilderna för att se dom större!

"The story of Herschel. He wanted to be Moses...but he didn't have the right connections."

"Harvey and Zoey, two tourists travelling through Israel, discover an ancient scroll describing the life of Herschel, the man who was almost Moses. Herschel receives the command from G-d to free his people from Egyptian slavery, but Moses keeps blundering by and taking all the credit. Several other biblical stories, such as Lot and his wife, David and Goliath, and the miracles of Jesus, are also parodied in this story of the life of a man trying to follow the path to G-d, but somehow always seeming to lose his way."

Barry Goldberg - Two Jews Blues (1969 - Buddah BDS 5029)

2007-11-05T10:38:00.000+01:00

"This is one of those late-'60s collaborations where I expected the world to explode when I put it on, and felt disappointed when it didn't. However, when you get past looking at players in the band, and listen to the music, there are a number of wonderful cuts. Enough of them for me to replace the vinyl with the CD. "Blues for Barry And..." is Bloomfield at his best with a solid band behind him cranking out this slow blues you wish wouldn't end.

Barry Goldberg has always played a solid organ, whether with Harvey Mandel, Charlie Musselwhite, or out on his own. This is his chance to be the leader of an all-star lineup. My regrets are that it is only 35 minutes."

You Are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah!

2007-10-11T11:26:00.000+02:00

"Earlier this month, my pseudonym, Fiona Rosenbloom, came out with her first young-adult novel. (Mazel Tov, Fiona!) The novel centers on Jewish themes and is called You Are SO Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah!

Here's how that happened: A month before the release of my own decidedly R-rated first novel, I was approached by a book packager who pitched me the bat mitzvah project. To be honest, I wasn't interested in young-adult fiction, but to be fair, I needed a job. I had questions: Could I manage to work on my second novel while writing Fiona's first?

Was it wise to make this departure when I hadn't yet established myself as a literary novelist? Did these packager people know what a bad seed I was? An advance was offered, and I accepted in greedy haste, signing on under one condition: that I be fitted with the Jewish pseudonym of my choice." / FIONA ROSENBLOOM

Skateboard on Shabbat?

2007-10-04T01:41:00.001+02:00

Question: Dear Rabbi, Is one permitted to skateboard on Shabbat? Please explain and provide sources.

Answer: The reasons for prohibiting travel on Shabbat do not apply to a skateboard, as long as it is used within an eiruv [ a fence, which can also be a wire or string that surrounds an area, usually a community. The eiruv is a legal device that converts a public domain into a private domain, thus permitting carrying within its boundaries, which would otherwise be forbidden on Shabbat] but not beyond the Shabbat tehum (2000 cubits beyond the last building, the furthest point one can go to on Shabbat).

Finally wanting to take matters into their own hands, they wrote Jewtopia, racked their credit cards with debt, and mounted the production themselves. Jewtopia went on to become the longest running original theatrical comedy in Los Angeles history.

"Throughout history, Jews around the world have had plenty of reasons to lament. And for a thousand years, they've had the perfect language for it. Rich in color, expressiveness, and complexity, Yiddish has proven incredibly useful and durable. Its wonderful phrases and idioms impeccably reflect the mind-set that has enabled the Jews of Europe to survive a millennium of unrelenting persecution . . . and enables them to kvetch about it!"
