“I’ve memorized Lerner and Golden / I feel like I’m almost a #Jew!” sang the late #protest #singer #PhilOchs. This might fall suspect on your ears, as he calls out noted #Jewish journalists of his era from a goyish philosemitic point of view.
What is not often discussed? #Ochs himself was Jewish, and this line was a bit of #political #satire. Perhaps you’ve never heard of him until now, but allow me to introduce you to this Jewish #protestsinger that more people should know about, especially in our current political climate.
His middle-class Jewish family moved around during his youth from #Texas to #NewYork and finally #Ohio. The young Ochs would turn out to be a clarinet prodigy who joined a university orchestra at age 15. Certainly talented enough to make your #bubbe’s upwardly-mobile #shtetl #neshume #kvell. But then his life would unwind, some say into madness, others would say into genius."

Super cool art exhibit.
"#Artist #AnnaKamyshan's '#Nabatele' — inspired by her own search for #Jewish belonging — opens at the #Venice Biennale in July.
Membranes, helium, some anchors and engineering, and a lot of history went into the floating home for those who have lived without ground.
Nabatele is a drifting #synagogue rising 25 metres above the #VenetianLagoon in the Collateral section of the 61st Venice Biennale International #Art Exhibition.
The ambitious #aerostatic project, a life-sized structure illuminated from within and shining over the waterway day and night, is inspired by the lost wooden #shtetl #synagogues of eastern #Europe and evokes the hidden synagogues which rose in the Republic of Venice some 500 years ago."

"#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."
