Dumped Temple Mount Rubble Yields Jewish Artifacts
		A historic excavation has been taking place in an eastern Jerusalem valley for the past six months: the first-ever archaeological examination of the Temple Mount. In November 1999, the Islamic Wakf carried out an illegal construction project on the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site. The unsupervised digging caused irreparable damage to the important site, as well as to untold priceless artifacts contained in rubble removed during the construction and dumped clandestinely in the Kidron Valley.

Paris celebrates Yiddish music
		New exhibition in Paris looks at history of Yiddish music and theatre, highlighting central role of East European klezmer music. “Klezmer and Klezmorim: A Yiddisher Tam, a Yiddisher Tempo,” an exhibit dedicated to 19th- and 20th-century history of East European Jewish music, has opened at the House of Yiddish Culture - Medem Library in Paris. By Rebecca Assoun, Ynet 23-04-2005

Identity crisis
		The films of Argentinian director Daniel Burman seem to always focus on his Jewish identity. And now he's got something else to focus on: an Oscar nomination. Bi-coastal, is so, well, yesterday. Daniel Burman is bi-continental, at least for the moment. The Argentine director is in the United States promoting his film, Lost Embrace, which recently opened in New York with a national release to follow. by Curt Schleier, JEWSWEEK 10-02-2005

From Woody to cricket at NY Jewish film festival
		If art is a form of self-projection and film qualifies as artistic expression, then a Jewish film festival is a unique opportunity for Jewish self-reflection. And if the lineup at this month's 14th annual New York Jewish Film Festival is any indication, the Jews are still obsessed with the Holocaust. by Uriel Heilman, Jerusalem Post 16-01-2005

Memory Lapse
		Watching Woody Allen’s lackluster play, “A Second Hand Memory,” directed by the author at the Atlantic Theatre Company, one wonders if Allen really knows his limitations. For Allen, the pre-eminent filmmaker who seems to have lost touch with who he is several years ago, writing and directing serious drama turns out to be more of a stretch than he can handle. The result is a painful experience of watching a master misapply himself, making the worst of a stellar cast. A play about betrayal becomes itself a kind of double-cross of Allen’s loyal audience in New York. With “A Second Hand Memory,” Allen’s luck may have completely run out. Ted Merwin, The Jewish Weeek 27-12-2004

700 Laughs (And Lots Of Love)
		Billy Crystal’s solo show renders Catskills-style Jewish humor with intelligence and sensitivity. There’s a lovefest going on at the Broadhurst Theatre these days, and it is all because of a brilliant standup comic named Billy Crystal. buy Ted Merwin, The Jewish Week 22-12-2004

In perspective: Sergei Eisenstein
		The movies directed by Sergei Eisenstein during the 1920s provided much of the defining imagery of the Russian Revolution. Described as the father of film montage, he was certainly the first major theorist of cinema. The year 1998 marks the centenary of his birth. It is also 50 years since he died, leaving behind an invaluable legacy of writings but with very few of his scripts actually produced. Anna Chen, International Socialism 30-11-2004

Once upon a Jewish fairy tale
		As we learn more about folklore and Jewish folklore in particular, we will reconfigure the history of our oral and written treasures. But the future of storytelling is even more unsettled. Much of our literary energy is migrating to other media, such as film and the Internet: The bubbling cauldrons of past witches are now sinister computer programs run by evil hackers. By Joshua Halberstam, Forward 29-11-2004

The Jews of Kobe
		Although Japan has only a small foreign population, close to 50,000 Koreans, Chinese, Indians, Americans, British, Norwegians and others live in this cosmopolitan city of 1.5 million, running important businesses, foreign restaurants, and shops that line the streets. Among these cultures, it is not surprising then to find that Jews make up a part of the multiethnic community in Kobe. By Tamar Engel, Stanford University Library 26-11-2004

"Yekl": Rereading a classic with the children of immigrants
		It is a winning bet for a writer to create a character whom you love to love or love to hate, and in Jake Podkovnik, Abraham Cahan invented a new kind of American villain: the radical assimilationist — the likes of whom had never before appeared in an American novel of critical standing. By Andrew R. Heinze, Forward 17-11-2004

They made America
		Ever-optimistic Ida Rosenthal always saw the kiddush cup half-full — a positive attitude that served her well when the Russian Jewish emigre went on to develop the bra during that most strapped of American times, the Depression. From shayna maidel to inventor of Maidenform bras, she filled out the American image. Michael Elkin, The Jewish Exponent 10-11-2004

Lipchitz Subject of Philadelphia exhibit
		An exhibition traces the development of Lipchitz's art as represented in the museum's holdings and selected objects from local area private collections, as well as some related works of the artists. Some fifty objects are on view, including sculptures, drawings, prints and photographs. New York Times 15-07-2004
