The Silver Platter – (Silver Salver) Nathan Alterman – Poem
admin | June 4, 2022
The Silver Platter Natan Alterman And the land grows still, the red eye of the sky slowly dimming over smoking frontiers As the nation arises, Torn at heart but breathing, To receive its miracle, the only miracle As the ceremony draws near, it will rise, standing erect in the moonlight in terror and joy When across from it will step out a youth and a lass and slowly march toward the nation Dressed in battle gear, dirty, Shoes heavy with grime, they ascend the path quietly To change garb, to wipe their browThey have not yet found time. Still bone weary from days and from nights in the field Full of endless fatigue and unrested,Yet the dew of their youth. Is still seen on their head Thus they stand at attention, giving no sign of life or death Then a nation in tears and amazementwill ask: "Who are you?" And they will answer quietly, "We Are the silver platter on which the Jewish state was given." Thus they will say and fall back in shadowsAnd the rest will be told In the chronicles of Israel

Zionism of Strength and Humility | Andy Blumenthal | The Blogs – The Times of Israel

Happy anniversary to Jerusalem today (its Yom Yerushalayim)! I imagine that nothing could have been more powerful to Jewish ears 55 years ago, during the Six Day War, than hearing paratrooper commander Motta Gur say the words: The Temple Mount is in our hands! After almost 2,000 years, the Jewish people once again miraculously had possession of the holy city of Jerusalem and could pray at their most reverent site, the Kotel (Western Wall) of the Temple Mount. When I imagine the IDF battling the Jordanian army and conquering Jerusalem, I can only think of the Rebbes words about how completely awesome this is.

New book: A ‘Queer, Disabled’ early Zionist illustrates ‘roads not taken’ J. – The Jewish News of Northern California

Its hard to find a poster promoting early 20th-century Zionism that doesnt depict a tanned, chiseled man toting a shovel or a gun. The posters were visual reinforcement of the Muscle Jewry valued by Max Nordau and other early Zionist leaders, who felt the land would redeem a physically depleted Jewish people and the people would renew a neglected land. One early Zionist thinker defied this macho image, and then some: While Zionism celebrated strong and healthy bodies, Jessie Sampterspoke of herself as crippled from polio and plagued by weakness and sickness her whole life

Why Did an Antisemitic Christian Zionist Have the Chutzpah to Declare That He’d Be Leading a Holocaust March? – Religion Dispatches
admin | April 29, 2022
This week, Jews in Israel and around the world will commemorate Yom HaShoah, a Holocaust Remembrance Day that marks a somber time for remembrance and reflection. On Thursday, thousands of Israeli and diaspora Jews and supporters will walk silently from Auschwitz to Birkenau in Poland in a procession called the March of the Living, designed to highlight Jewish resilience and survival along the path where thousands of Jews were killed during Nazi death marches in the 1940s. Progressive Jewish activists such as ourselves have long expressed discomfort over the nationalist, militarist version of Holocaust memory on display at the March of the Living
