103. Ladino --- A Lost Language? Interview with Avner Peretz, director of the Institute of Ladino in the Jerusalem suburb of Maale Adumim. Discusses his efforts to save the literature, proverbs, and oral traditions before they disappear. http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0798/ladino1.asp

Jewish World Review Oct. 20, 1998 / 1 Mar-Cheshvan, 5759 Dr. Jay Levinson Ladino - a language destined to be lost? "THE RACE IS ON to save the treasures of Ladino." This is the way Avner Peretz, Director of the Institute of Ladino in the Jerusalem suburb of Maale Adumim described his efforts to record the the Sephardic equivalent of Yiddish before much of it vanishes. In this spirit Peretz, a sixth generation Jerusalemite of Turkish background, has been collecting books, newspapers, and manuscripts. And he has not stopped there. He has also made a concerted effort to document the Ladino oral tradition. When the Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, they took their language with them. In the Balkans and Turkey it was called Ladino, a corruption of the word "Latin" used to distinguish it from Turkish. In Tangier and Tetuan in Spanish Morocco it was called "Haquitiya." The classic of Ladino Literature is clearly Me-am Lo'ez , a monumental work of biblical commentary and talmudic tradition written in systematic form for the layman. In 1730 Rabbi Yaakov Culi published the initial volume, the first part of Exodus, in Constantinople; it was not until more than a century and a half later and more than a half dozen authors that the opus was finally completed. Today Me-am Lo-ez is a popular set in Hebrew, and it is making inroads into the market of English-speaking Jews, where it has appeared as

105. Ode To The Circumcised Male by Edgar J. Schoen, MD (jewish physician and circumcision advocate) http://www.cirp.org/literature/schoen-ode

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF DISEASES IN CHILDREN, Volume 141: Page 128, February 1987. Sir. Before the mid-1970s, the American standard of care included neonatal circumcision, a minor surgical procedure that promoted genital hygiene and prevented later penile cancer as well as cervical cancer in female sexual partners. More recently, evidence has suggested that adequate hygiene is all that is needed and that circumcision is an unnecessary and traumatic procedure. In 1983, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology jointly agreed that routine circumcision is not necessary, and third-party payers are increasingly refusing to pay for the procedure. Whether recent evidence of a decreased incidence of urinary tract infections in circumcised male infants can stem the anticircumcision tide is questionable. The purpose of this communication is to offer some solace to the generations of circumcised males who are now being told they have undergone an unnecessary and deforming procedure, which may also have been brutal and psychologically traumatic. To them I offer these lines: Ode to the Circumcised Male We have a new topic to heat up our passions the foreskin is currently top of the fashions.

HUSKIANA SEARCH N.U MAGAZINE Click here to search other servers at Northeastern. At Home Abroad The Little-known Field of Jewish Latin American Literature. By Stephen Sadow A subset of the field of Jewish studies, Latin American Jewish studies investigates the history, sociology, demographics, and cultural aspects of Jewish communities and individuals from Latin America and the Caribbean. What do you do when you are working with a literature that is obscure outside of its home culture? What do you do when members of one culture know little of another culture, and vice versa? Responding to these questions, I decided upon an approach that would take me far beyond traditional literary criticism. Through a series of "voyages of discovery" to Jewish communities in Latin America, a growing number of correspondences with writers, literary critics, psychologists, even mystics, and an enormous amount of reading, I immersed myself in the Jewish literature and culture of Latin America. These writers wrote of the strains of being in the minority, of balancing Jewish and Hispanic culture, of Jewish tradition, of optimism for the future, of Zionism, and of the Holocaust. It became my intention to enter this literary culture as a step towards truly understanding its writings. I wanted to see the world as a Jewish Latin American writer saw it. More importantly, it was my goal to become a transmitter of culture from Spanish to English and from English to Spanish.

114. The Bulletin Archive 19> Biography of the immigrant author and his importance to jewishAmerican literature. http://www.emanuelnyc.org/bulletin/archive/20.html

Abraham Cahan In the history of our people's sojourn in America, many Jewish authors have been recognized by their Gentile counterparts as literary equals. Indeed, by the middle decades of the twentieth century, American-Jewish intellectuals with the names of Alfred Kazin, Leslie Fiedler, Henry Roth, Delmore Schwartz, Saul Bellow, Bernard Malamud, and others had clearly become primi inter pares ("first among equals"). Today, so accepted is the Jew in the society of American letters, the singling out of an "American-Jewish" author seems unnecessary, out-date, even obsolete. And yet, there was a definite beginning to this process of acculturation, which included the translation of a Yiddish heritage to the kultur of America. That translation may be traced, both literally and symbolically, to the person of Abraham Cahan (1860-1951). Cahan, a typical Eastern European immigrant fleeing the Russian pogroms of 1881, was to the newly arrived Jew in America what Shmuel Agnon was to the masses who settled in Palestine/Israel. A journalist, an editor, an author, a socialist leader, Cahan quickly assumed the literary leadership of a Jewish community brimming with intellectual fervor and social discontent. His first book, Yekl, A Tale of the New York Ghetto (1896), was praised by William Dean Howells as the harbinger of a "new New York." Having achieved distinction among the literati, Cahan would continue his furious and pointed penmanship. This culminated in two directions: as editor of the Yiddish paper, the Forward, and as author of a number of novels.

North American Jewish Studies By Deborah Dash Moore , Vassar College Although pessimism does not come naturally to me, I have sustained high levels of frustration for close to two decades as Jewish studies has grown and flourished in the United States. My frustration stems from the pace and direction of that growth, specifically the almost total lack of opportunities despite strong student interest to teach the history of Jews in the U.S. (or what we provincially call American Jewish history, resolutely ignoring both Canada and the rest of the Americas).

There are, of course, other Jewish lesbian novels with similar thematics, including Elana Nachman/Dykewomon's Riverfinger Women (1974), Alice Bloch's The Law of Return (1983), Ruth Geller's Triangles (1984), Edith Konecky's A Place at the Table (1989), Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz's (1990), and Andrea Freud Loewenstein's The Worry Girl Sponsor Message. These writers relate both to Jewish and lesbian literary traditions and to the concerns of contemporary American culture. For these authors, being Jewish lesbians or lesbian Jews and writing about that experiencethat is, going publichas been empowering and liberating, personally as well as collectively. Conclusion Although American Jewish literature in general has been pronounced moribund for more than twenty years, no such pronouncements can be made for American Jewish gay and lesbian literature.
