From JTA:
"The [museum exhibit] show, titled “Jews Are Magic,” digs into the ongoing Jewish fascination with mysticism, folk healing, fortune-telling and occult practices. Drawing mostly on archival materials from the 19th and early 20th centuries in Eastern Europe and the Lower East Side, it features palm-reading guides, amulets, handwritten petitions known as kvitlekh and advertisements for self-styled psychics who promised help with everything from illness to legal disputes to matters of the heart. The artifacts capture a world where official religious authorities often frowned on such practices, but everyday Jews made room for them anyway.""

Still, or: Shabbat tables call
A Sijo
snowlight whitens the village roofs while burning windows glow askew; through rising smoke a wagon tilts while alleyways darken again; still our Shabbat tables call through centuries of ashes
d’Verse: Don’t box me in
At d’Verse, we are encouraged to compose poems inspired by one of several paintings by the famous Jewish painter Marc Chagall (1887 – 1985). I selected ‘Burning House’ (1913).
Sijo?
A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

Dedushka, or: Saba

because his parents couldn't
afford to feed him
hunger pangs

at the front
fell in a meat wave
stabbed at war
through the calf
by Germans probing corpses
crawled back through the night

how to speak Russian
for college
self-made man

at a major plant
in Vilnius
under Soviets
my Saba
a proud Yid
hired Refusenik engineers
fired for Jewish souls
gave up his
party membership
cursed the damned

for antisemitism—and
moved to Israel

moved to Israel‘Garland’ Shadorma?
The ‘Garland’ Shadorma was created by Sylvia Cognac, modeled after the ‘Garland’ Cinquain. Essentially, it is a Shadorma series of seven stanzas, with the seventh and final stanza being composed of lines from all six previous stanzas.
Tanka Tuesday
For Tanka Tuesday, Robbie encourages us to compose syllabic poems that includes a story. My above shadorma is about my grandfather (saba).
My grandfather grew up very poor, was forced to fight the Nazis in World War II without a weapon, and was badly wounded; but he survived and taught himself Russian so he could become a top engineer in Soviet Lithuania.
Even when the government threatened him, he kept hiring Jewish engineers who were punished for applying for exit visas to Israel. In the end, he gave up his cursed the antisemitism around him, Communist Party membership, and moved with his family to Israel.

The ‘Garland’ Shadorma was created by Sylvia Cognac, modeled after the ‘Garland’ Cinquain. Essentially, it is a Shadorma series of seven stanzas, with the seventh and final stanza being composed of lines from all six previous stanzas.
Tanka Tuesday
For Tanka Tuesday, Robbie encourages us to compose syllabic poems that includes a story. My above shadorma is about my grandfather (saba).
My grandfather grew up very poor, was forced to fight the Nazis in World War II without a weapon, and was badly wounded; but he survived and taught himself Russian so he could become a top engineer in Soviet Lithuania.
Even when the government threatened him, he kept hiring Jewish engineers who were punished for applying for exit visas to Israel. In the end, he gave up his cursed the antisemitism around him, Communist Party membership, and moved with his family to Israel.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

"Two catastrophes haunt #MollyCrabapple’s #HereWhereWeLiveIsOurCountry. One is the #Holocaust, which devoured the lives of many of the people in her pages. The other, more in the background but never far from her thoughts, is the ordeal of the Palestinian people."
