In a panel of Jordan Gorfinkel’s “Everything’s Relative” comic strip, Holocaust survivor Zayds explains why he won’t visit Germany.
“I’m trying not to remember vhut everyvun else must not forget,” says Zayds, who appears larger than life on the walls of the new Jewish Museum
in Munich.
The cartoon Zayds eventually goes to Germany. But the person he’s based on Gorfinkel’s father-in-law, Nathan Burzinski can’t do it.
“It’s not the ribbon tied into the neat bow that, being a writer, I wanted,” Gorfinkel said before leaving Cleveland to attend the museum’s March 22 gala opening. “But it’s revealing and truthful. In fiction, it’s easy to take a Holocaust survivor back to Germany. I just draw it that way. Reality isn’t so cushy.” Read the rest of this entry »

At 22 years old, Avi Vinocur has carved out an impressive list of credentials for one so young: he opened for the Beatles at Shea Stadium in 1965, he talked John Lennon into the cover art for the Sgt. Pepper album, he was taught how to hit a ball by Bobby Thomson (who won the pennant for the New York Giants in 1951 with the single swing of a bat), he was awarded the MBE by Queen Elizabeth at the age of 6, and he set Dylan on the right track in 1963 when he said, For Petes sake, Robert–the times, they’re a-changing, man!”

The following poem, by my old friend (and first creative writing teacher) Henry Weinfield, originally appeared in his chapbook The Tears of the Muses (Dos Madres Press, 2005). It will be included in his forthcoming volume of new and selected poems, which Dos Madres will be publishing, probably later this year. Last night Henry read the poem at Xavier, along with selections from his new Hesiod translation and a beautiful retelling in verse of the stories about the prophet Elijah, from the Book of Kings. Weinfield is, as far as I’m concerned, one of the greatest poets writing in English today. The fact that he writes entirely in rhyme and meter, using utterly pellucid diction and straightforward grammatical structures, makes him, to say the least, a nonesuch, and one whose work may be unacceptable to readers (mostly academics) given over to what might be called the ideology of the avant-garde.

Apart from the wonder elicited by the complexity and sensitivity of the play itself, “The History Boys” (by Alan Bennett, directed by Micha Lewensohn at the Beit Lessin Theater) offers insight into three interesting issues in Israeli theater.
First, the choice of the play itself. It is no accident that this is the first time one of Bennett’s plays (which include “The Madness of George III”) is being performed in Israel. Bennett’s plays belong to a certain genre of English theater that requires the actors to be able to speak and the audience to be able to listen. This is also theater that involves a type of English humor and behavior that are ostensibly foreign to the local audience and actors. Read the rest of this entry »

Visitors to Israel may wish to know that, situated near the imposing Baha’i Gardens in Haifa, is a small green and bronze jewel of a place- מצפור שלום Mitzpor Shalom, The Peace Park. The Peace Park is a piece of history- a garden in which 29 works of art are installed- life-size and life like sculptures created by Ursula Malbin. Over sixty of her eighty two years of life were spent creating quietly, diligently, without publicity or the support of any art gallery, affluent sponsors of artworks. Read the rest of this entry »
