  6. "In its heyday, #BethEl was the spiritual home to as many as 1,800 families. Its spiritual leaders have been distinguished leaders of #Reform #Judaism. They engaged the first ordained woman #cantor, #BarbaraOstfeld, to offer prayers in its magnificent sanctuary, which had been designed by #LouiseNevelson.

    But things change. Recently, an #Iranian/#Sephardic #yeshiva purchased Temple Beth-El.

    Many of my friends who grew up at Beth-El experience this as a kind of a loss. I see it as a story of #Jewish transformation.

    The #Persian/Iranian Jewish community is among the oldest continuous Jewish communities in the world, going back even further than Cyrus the Great. The #Hebrew Bible ends with him inviting the Jews of his realm to return to #Jerusalem, while those who stayed behind in #Persia built a rich culture, literature and traditions.

    Then came the Iranian Revolution of 1979, and we are still living with its aftermath."

  7. "Years after #YounesDardashti’s death, his granddaughter #Galeet is still singing with him in #NewYork.

    Using #archival #recordings of her grandfather’s voice, #GaleetDardashti created her #album #Monajat — meaning an intimate conversation with God — layering her vocals over decades-old tapes of him #singing #Selihot, religious poetry chanted nightly before the #Jewish New Year.

    Across the country in #LosAngeles, #JacquelineRafii — senior #cantor of Valley Beth Shalom, one of the largest Conservative #synagogues in the U.S. — is also working to preserve her #Iranian grandfather’s traditional #Persian Jewish #music.

    While in #cantorial school, Rafii rediscovered cassette tapes made of her grandfather leading a #Passover seder in #Tehran. When her family was forced to flee the country following the #IslamicRevolution in 1979, they brought that cassette tape with them."

  10. I have the greatest admiration for the theorems and proofs of transfinite set theory, what we've called Cantor's transfinite set theory.

    I taught it for years, wrote restatements for my students, and wrote a piece viewing it in the perspective of historical thinking about the infinite.
    nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.Inst

    Now I've learned that #Cantor deliberately suppressed the role of #Dedekind in some of his work, particularly the proof that the set of real numbers is larger than the sets of natural and rational numbers. This was the first glimpse of the infinite hierarchy of infinite cardinalities.

    Cantor had the first germ of the proof, so props for that. But Dedekind helped him clarify it and Cantor published the clarified version without credit to Dedekind. I respect the math as much as ever but am now dealing with a serious case of flawed-hero syndrome.

    First, make amends. Kudos to Dedekind. Second, give thanks. Kudos to the sleuths who turned up the empirical evidence of Cantor's #plagiarism -- Emmy Noether, Ivor Grattan-Guinness, José Ferreirós, and (decisively) Demian Goos.

    Also thanks to Joseph Howlett for the Quanta article summarizing the evidence -- and in passing for calling Leopold #Kronecker an ideologue. Exactly!

  11. The Man Who Stole Infinity, by Joseph Howlett

    Demian Goos finally tracked down Dedekind's copies of letters he sent to Cantor, showing that Cantor on at least two occasions published papers on orders of infinity, based in part on Dedekind's work, without crediting him. The letters had been preserved by Dedekind's heirs, and were made available to Goos by Karin Richter.

  16. Starts reading 'A contribution to Manifold theory' by Georg Cantor. To learn what he thinks about Dimensions and manifolds. But I don't know German. I am #struggling with it.
    Do you have any ideas for making this exploration easy?

  17. At @recursecenter in our Annotated Turing study group we got talking about diagonalization. I made a joke - then I made a poster and bumpersticker to go with it.

    It's always a fun conversation to have - what is real - what can we express - what can we compute

  18. OK, my Corne is now ready for some tinkering with QMK 😸 I really love the Cherry MX Grey switched I put in there 😻
    And my Cantor finally got a nice case.

    I guess I'll now have some boards to bring to #Mechanicon next year.

    Well, until then I might have more than two to bring along 😹 (although these are pretty basic ones)
