Days of Jewish Music festival dives into Jewish music’s diversity
What could be more instantly recognizable than Jewish music, right? Many of us – of the predominantly Ashkenazi…

"What happened to #Yiddish #theater, how it came to be, why it faded and how it made a comeback are among the questions explored in “Immigrant Songs: #YiddishTheater and the #American #Jewish Experience,” a #documentary #directed by #JeffJaneczko.
The 46-minute documentary, the first produced by the #MilkenArchive of #JewishMusic (where #Janeczko is a curator), traces the remarkable legacy of Yiddish theater in #America — from its Eastern #European roots to its extraordinary modern revival. The #film blends #archivalfootage, original #music and scholarly insight to bring to life a cultural legacy that continues to resonate today.
You don’t need to be a Yiddish speaker or come from an #Ashkenazi background to appreciate the charm of Yiddish music and theater. The two, in fact, are deeply intertwined and have gone hand in hand since their birth in Eastern Europe."

"#Writer, #critic, #cultural #commentator, #polyglot, and multilingual #translator #IlanStavans is very clear about his #Jewish heritage: His grandparents had been #Shtetl-dwellers in Eastern #Europe, in #Poland and the #Ukraine, and moved to #Mexico between 1919 and 1929 to flee #poverty, #antisemitism, and #pogroms. #Stavans was born in #MexicoCity in 1961 to an #Ashkenazi family.
This certitude differentiates Stavans from many of the characters in #ElIluminado, a #graphicnovel in #English and #Spanglish that Stavans co-#wrote with #illustrator and writer #SteveSheinkin. In the #book, some of the characters are crypto-#Jews and are not entirely sure of, but suspect or deny, their Jewish heritage.
El Iluminado was first published in 2012 by Basic #Books/Hachette. The University of #NewMexico Press republished it in March , because “the story is about #SantaFe and New Mexico, and is of this community,” says #UNM Press Director Stephen Hull."

Today’s “Lest We Forget” moment:
“#WhiteSupremacy is dominant within #Israeli society, which privileges white-skinned #Ashkenazi Jews at the expense of dark-skinned African Jews, Sephardi & Mizrahi Jews as well as African refugees”

"#Azerbaijan’s State Security Service has announced it has thwarted multiple planned #terrorist attacks and #sabotage operations allegedly directed by #Iran’s #IslamicRevolutionaryGuardCorps (#IRGC).
Among the primary targets were prominent #Jewish sites: the #Ashkenazi #synagogue in #Baku, a modern synagogue in #DilaraAliyevaStreet serving the Ashkenazi and #European Jewish communities. The #Israeli embassy in the capital was also a reported target. Also allegedly targeted was a leader of the ancient Mountain #Jews community, a historic Jewish group with centuries-old roots in the #Caucasus region.
About 6,000 to 7,000 Jews live in Azerbaijan today, according to international Jewish organisations."

"In The #Marital Knot: #Agunot in the #Ashkenazi Realm, 1648-1850 (Brandeis University Press), Dr. #NoaShashar of #SapirAcademicCollege in #Israel, has written an absolutely fascinating #book that details the plights of agunot from the time of the #Khmelnytskyuprising to 1850.
While agunot today are a somewhat rare occurrence, in the period she writes of, wars, persecution, accidents, and natural disasters, as well as travel along dangerous roads, the possibility of assuming a false identity, and conversion to Christianity, all made agunot not uncommon in the least.
The book details the lives of agunot during 1648-1850 and the men who brought about this situation. It traces the states of these #widows, whose husbands were nowhere to be found."

#Ashkenazi Jews are not from #Palestine. There is either little or contested archeological & geneological evidence for a mass jewish migration out of Palestine.
They are Eurasian: Mixed turkic, finno-ugric and slavic from regions which adopted judaism for administrative or other reasons.
Who are actually the descendants of Palestinian jews? The Palestinians who live there now! They simply changed religion on the way.
It's that simple. #zionism is a scam.

@MisuseCase @thriveth @Nochem @david @Alexandrad1 @argumento
The difference being, Blacks recently came from #Africa so there was a tenuous case for repatriation.
However, #Ashkenazi & #Shepardic #Jews originate from #Europe & have zero ethnic connection to #Palestine, outside of the religion they adopted promising them a homeland in a place they had nothing to do with outside of their faith.
Religion has made an utter mess of modern day mankind.

@Nochem @Alexandrad1 @argumento
I see exactly who & what you are @david. Look back at your posts & see the cold-hearted, cruel way you've revelled in the genocide in #Gaza by #Israel, & justified the continuing #Zionist ethnic cleansing.
If having to choose between white Eastern #European #Ashkenazi #Jews, or brown #Muslims, in every instance I've seen #FarRight #Nazis opt to support the people who most resemble them.
Open your eyes & look across #Europe & the #US. I know who you are Dave. 😳

@martinvermeer I don’t know the answer to this question. What do you think?
To bring it back to Israeli/zionist perspective of white supremacy, Rabbi Dov Lior, a spiritual authority for religious Zionists (settlers,) recently addressed the question of which nation Judaism considered 'most despicable.'
In his response, he initially considered people of African descent (using dated Hebrew terminology meaning Negro), before concluding that Jewish sources indicate it to be Arabs.
What struck me was Lior's personal history. He is a Holocaust survivor. His family fled from #Poland to #Russia, eventually reaching #Kazakhstan where many of them perished. Yet in his worldview, Arabs - not Germans - occupy the position of ultimate contempt.
So many open questions about the complex relationship some #Ashkenazi and Eastern Jewish people, despicable as this one but not only, have developed with European identity, despite their own personal tragedy.

disappointed in the new Trope Trainer that it doesn't seem to suuport #Ashkenazi pronunciations at all. even though I have set it as my preference it always defaults to modern mainstream pronunciation which is basically #Sephardi.
#Jwitter #Mazeldon possible rant incoming lol. and like, I vividly remember when my #HebrewSchool switched what pronunciation they were teaching us, when I started to get told I was wrong and made fun of for having tof/sof as a distinction, and so many other little intricacies of pronunciation that just get flattened in modern Hebrew. and I think I was about nine years old, but I swore then and there that I was going to continue to daven the way my zayde did and pronounce things the way my zayde did and nobody could make me change it.
and that's how I've done things the last twenty-four years, so I'm not going to start collapsing my distinctions between consonants and vowels just because that's what is taught now and that's what the software now says.
it's a sort of assimilation that gets shoved on us because it fits better with the desires of the modern political state, as well, and the ever further right party lines. those lines don't have room to preserve and promote the huge variety of #Judaisms and customs other than the mainstream
if it doesn't give the rest of them as options, it no longer works towards the preservation aspect that was integral to the original Trope Trainer. and that's all of our loss.

Archetypal American ‘secular Jewish space’ gains due regard
Cate Thurston remembers the moment her team settled on what to call an exhibition about #Jewish #delis in America.
“We kind of just said it as a joke,” the co-curator says. We all had a laugh. And then we thought, wait, no, we could call it that!”
The title: "I’ll Have What She’s Having.
Comedy fans will recognise it as the punchline from arguably the most famous deli scene in film history: Meg Ryan faking an orgasm in front of Billy Crystal, provoking wide-eyed stares from patrons and staff. An older woman, played by director Rob Reiner’s mother, remarks to a waitress: “I’ll have what she’s having.”😄The clip is among several playing in a loop in the exhibition, organised by the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, which opened this week at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington. 👀
It is a celebration of the delicatessen – a German word that loosely translates to “a place to find delicious things to eat”
– as the vernacular of #Ashkenazi Jewish life -

This video is probably the best summarization of the various Jewish denominations/branches, the history of Judaism, including the various geographic changes that lead to changes, belief structures, understanding of Judaism as different from Christianity, differences on observance, and more.

Natural History of #Ashkenazi Intelligence (NHAI) is a paper published by "human biodiversity" proponent Gregory Cochran, anthropology student Jason Hardy and white nationalist Henry Harpending which "elaborates the hypothesis that the unique demography and sociology of Ashkenazim in medieval Europe selected for intelligence." It appears to be an hereditarian attempt to find "scientific" evidence for racist beliefs about race and intelligence. The paper was published in 2006 in the Cambridge University Press' Journal of Biosocial Science. The journal had been renamed from The Eugenics Review in 1969 at the time that Cambridge University Press began publishing the journal.
NHAI presents an untested and unproven hypothesis, which was nevertheless promoted by mainstream media, via proponents of hereditarianism, especially New York Times columnist Nicholas Wade and Harvard professor Steven Pinker.

Avi Issacharoff (creator of #Fauda) mentioned in the interview with him meeting with Ahmad Yassin, the #Hamas founder Israel assassinated in 2004. Yassin told him, he says, that their problem is with the Eastern Jews who came to Palestine after 1917 (Balfour Declaration I presume), but not the Palestinian Jews, who were living in Palestine for centuries (both Sephardi and Eastern Jews). He also promised Issacharoff he will be granted citizenship in a free Palestine, since Issacharoff's family qualified. https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/111238337800164116
The #ADL has a collection of sayings from Yassin, which of course doesn't include anything moderate. Netanyahu and the ADL and others like to claim that Palestinian militants are antisemites, and are worse than the Germans. Somewhat of a hyperbole, considering the #USA, #Europe, and especially #Germany, are again full of real (neo) Nazi and #Trump, a hero to the #ultranationalist #Ashkenazi settlers, regularly seats down to break bread with neo-Nazis and white-supremacists.
This is what Yassin (who was a quadriplegic and effectively blind due to a sporting accident at the age of 12) had to say about all of that (date of recording unknown):

No, You Don't Really Have 7,900 4th Cousins
DNA has the potential to be an essential and exciting genealogical tool. But many Eastern European Jewish testers find their DNA results completely overwhelming and unnavigable.
In this talk, Jennifer Mendelsohn will help those with Ashkenazi heritage learn how to make sense of their DNA results.
She’ll cover the basics of DNA testing, including why our match lists are so large (hello, endogamy!), why all our matches seem to match each other (endogamy, again!), and how to spot the meaningful matches and separate them from the faux ones.
Using real-life examples of DNA success, you’ll learn techniques that will help you work effectively with DNA to expand your Ashkenazi family tree
