Prayer What shall I ask You for, God? I have everything. There`s nothing I lack. I ask only for one thing And not for myself alone: It`s for many mothers, and children, and fathers - Not just in this land, but in many lands hostile to each other I`d like to ask for peace. Yes, it`s peace I want. And you, you won`t deny the single wish of a girl. You created the Land of Peace Where stands the City of Peace, Where stood the Temple of Peace, But where still there is no peace... What shall I ask You for, God? I have everything. Peace is what I ask for. Only peace. (Shlomit Grossberg, Age 13, Jerusalem) Related books that may interest you: Kinderen Tekenen Jeruzalem Yitzhak Rabin Farewell Susan in the Land of the Bible |

"We live in the description of a place and not in the place itself," Wallace Stevens wrote, in a poet`s formulation of a sociological truth. But how do people live when the place itself is changing, and when those presumed to be adept at description cannot agree on where it is, or whether it still exists at all?
The question is anything but academic; it confronts American Jews, as well as Italian, Polish, and other hyphenated Americans who think of themselves as inhabiting both a particular ethnic / religious and a general American place.

The Herzl family came from the borderlands between the East and West of Europe.

His grandfather, Simon Loeb Herzl, remained an observant Jew and lived, though at a distance, until Theodor was twenty. From him came vague and unsubstantiated stories of a Sefardic strain and tradition.

Edith Hahn was an outspoken young woman in Vienna when the Gestapo forced her into a ghetto and then into a labor camp. When she returned home months later, she knew she would become a hunted woman and went underground. With the help of a Christian friend, she emerged in Munich as Grete Denner. There she met Werner Vetter, a Nazi Party member who fell in love with her. Despite Edith's protests and even her eventual confession that she was Jewish, he married her and kept her identity a secret. In wrenching details, Edith recalls her life during those times.

After a while, there were no more onions. My coworkers among the Red Cross nurses at the Stadtische Krankenhaus in Brandenburg said it was because the Fuhrer needed the onions to make poison gas with which to conquer our enemies. But I think by then - it was May 1943 - many citizens of the Third Reich would have gladly forgone the pleasure of gassing the enemy if they could only taste an onion.

It was dim and close in the classroom. Outdoors there was air, acres of air, and sunshine. Outside too was his friend, Acratheus, who was perhaps swimming or fishing in the Ulai. Bani wishes he were with him there, outside, instead of sitting here with the other sons of the Jewish community of Susa. If only the lesson had been concerned with his great heroes, the warrior kings, David or Saul, or those mighty men, Jonathan and JOab! But Jeremiah was the subject of that day's lesson. Jeremiah - a prophet who had lived over one hundred years ago. Who cared what he had said!

I ride and ride and the Galilean countryside rides with me. By the roadside are dark tents, and naked Arab children play with the sheep and goats. Mountains gleam with secrets, sundrenched, resting in the brightness, burning in the distance, and eyes, myriads of eyes, leap and gleam and wink in the Sea of Galilee, caressing Lake Kinnereth, which reclines languidly at our feet like a beloved, clinging, smiling and radiant, knowing all.
The Kinnereth knows: there was a man in the land who ceased to be a stranger and became one of us. |

It was shortly after sunrise when Cyrion entered Modin, the little village which nestled among the rock-grey hills of Palestine. The young man gazed with disdainful eyes at the twisted, dusty streets and low stone houses. After Rome and Antioch and Alexandria, his birthplace seemed even smaller and humbler than he remembered it. He strode past the well, where a group of women and girls had already gathered to draw water, and on to the market-place in the center of town; here he stopped, perplexed.
