Nature, resilience, and the sukkah as a medium: Interview with Jonathan York 37:53

21 weeks پیش37:53

37:53

In this episode, I speak with Jonathan York, attorney and artist, at the Skirball center (apologies for any real life sound) to discuss The Sukkah Project, his exhibition at the Skirball Center in LA, opening October 8-November 3. The exhibition is the latest in a 6 year exploration, The Sukkah Project, where he has explored the Sukkah as an artistic medium. We also discuss his first film, Al Tira , which documents life in Israel post October 7th and the current climate for Jewish filmmakers and artists. This episode features sounds that Jonathan recorded on his visit to Kibbutz Be'eri. Details for the exhibit can be found at: https://www.skirball.org/museum/sukkah-project-force-majeure https://www.instagram.com/jonathanyork13/ More on Sukkot: Sukkot "the feast of tabernacles" is a Jewish week long holiday beginning on the 15th day of the month of Tishrei. It is an agricultural holiday and one of the three pilgrimage festivals in which Jews are instructed to the temple in Jerusalem. Jews celebrate by building a sukkah (hut or booth) and making a blessing of the four species as described in the Torah: etrog (citron), lulav (palm branch), hadas (myrtle), and arava (willow). The sukkah is intended for festive dining and gathering. Although the structure represents the huts the Israelites lived in during the years of wandering after escaping slavery in Egypt, it also represents unity and hospitality as the structure is a place to invite those in need.

Alan Niku returns to the podcast to discuss another selection of Judeo-Persian writers, including poets, philosophers, and biblical commentators such as Emrānī, Baba'i ben Lotf, and Simantov Melamed. Their exploration of these writers raises questions about how Jews engaged with Sufism as Islamic rulership in Persia intensified, leading to forced conversions and massacres of minorities.

Judeo Persian Literature with Alan Niku 1:11:25

1:11:25

Judeo-Persian literature (Modern Persian written in Hebrew characters) is likely the largest untapped group within Jewish and Persian vernacular texts. Manuscripts are scattered worldwide, found in the bottoms of drawers in people's homes and some in libraries, yet they remain untranslated and largely inaccessible. Alan Niku, a filmmaker and writer who began researching Persian Jewish history around ten years ago in hopes of preserving it, joins Millie in discussing his findings on translating Judeo Persian manuscripts which includes poetry and philosophical teachings from writers such as Shahin Shirazi, Yehuda Ben Elazar, Amina and others. Aside from his independent work researching Persian Jewish history, Alan shares his work as a linguist, documenting various Judeo Persian languages and teaching Neo-Aramaic, which he decided to learn after discovering the language in his paternal grandfather's family line.

Reflections on Queen Esther with Maxine Divon 40:09

40:09

In this episode, Maxine (from episode 3 Ancestral Healing ) returns to reflect on the lessons from the Book of Esther/Purim from the Torah, which revolves around a Jewish woman in Persia named Esther who becomes Queen in the Persian Empire (5th BCE) and hides her Jewishness in order to survive. When Esther's uncle Mordecai, discovers that an official in court, Haman, has a plan to establish a decree to slay all the Jews in the empire, Esther throws a series of feasts for the King and eventually wins him over and not only embraces her Jewishness but saves the entire population of Jews from persecution in the Persian empire (this is a very brief summary you can find the full text linked below). We explore how Queen Esther embodies what it means to integrate our Jewish and Persian backgrounds, mind-body connection practices, and divinity: the feminine divine and divine timing.

We give our own thoughts and share what is normally expected from the Persian community.
