| Artist: | ||
| Description: The Israeli Family Project The Israeli Story that you never heard Our story begins in the summer of 2002. It is this summer that we moved from the big city in the center of Israel to a small village in the Negev Desert. Moshav Kadesh Barnea is a green and beautiful community amidst the colorful desert in the south of Israel. It is where hundreds of acres of fruits and vegetables are grown for market for the whole world. It is where the silence of the desert meets the voices of life. Since moving to Kadesh Barnea in the summer of 2002, we have grown with the village and its people. We built a small factory that produces special jams and chutneys from fresh fruits and vegetables grown by our neighbors. Our girls attended school with our neighbors' children. We played the role of leaders in the community. We joined the social, cultural and educational activities in the village, and added our voice to this unique slice of Israeli life. For visitors from outside the country, our family emerged as the leading representative of the dynamism and liveliness of human life in the Israeli Desert. We wanted to share this wonderful place with others. Over time, thousands of people who have come to visit Israel have come through Kadesh Barnea for a personal meeting with our family. Meeting with us and hearing our story, visitors take a close look at the life of the people who developed this corner of the world. In those meetings our visitors had the chance to learn a contemporary Israeli story. It is a story that they never heard, yet one not unlike so many other inspiring tales in Israel. With us they could feel and understand the values of the Israeli family, through which they could understand the greater story of Israel. During these years we came to understand that the Israeli family story should reach even more people of the world. We want more and more people to hear about beautiful developments right in the heart of the Middle Eastern desert. We want to share our family values and stories about how pioneers fulfilled the dream of making the desert bloom. We are excited to discuss agriculture and entrepreneurship, children and education. Rather than wait for more visitors, we have decided to take our family and our story on a journey around the world. We plan to tell our story in every place we can reach. We will meet with as many people as we can possibly meet. We want to open a window to The Story of The Israeli Family. We will share our story with families all around the world by having meaningful conversations, playing music, reading, cooking and listening. The Israeli Family Journey will take one full year, from August 1, 2011 to August 1, 2012. Our journey will take us through 27 countries in 4 continents. We invite you to meet with us.

 | Y-LOVE "THIS IS UNITY" (Official Music Video) |
|
| Artist: Y-Love | ||
| Description: http://tinyurl.com/getsee - CLICK TO BUY THE SONG/EP http://tinyurl.com/nucampa CLICK TO BUY THE T-SHIRT BY NU CAMPAIGN * For iTunes downloads, click here - http://bit.ly/lbPnZ3 Artist: Y-Love Song: This is Unity (off the "See Me" EP) Music: Diwon Director: Lenny Bass Label: Shemspeed * sponsored by Shemspeed & Be'Chol Lashon INFO: "This is Unity" is one of the lead singles off Y-Love's "See Me" EP. The "This is Unity" campaign highlights one of humanity's most elusive concepts: Unity. As a result of extremisms and borders of class, race, religion and lifestyle, people have divided themselves into an ever-growing number of categories with which to separate from and label one another. In those categories themselves, we as humans often stereotype and stigmatize those who do not resemble the rest of the category. "This is Unity" is an holistic, anti-bigotry campaign designed to highlight and celebrate diversity. From the music-video featuring Y-Love which highlights Jewish diversity, we hope to encourage a strengthening of Jewish unity and Jewish peoplehood worldwide. Through workshops and projects that bring together artists from different backgrounds to perform in front of varied and mixed audiences, Shemspeed makes its contribution to building bridges between peoples in the hope of encouraging shared experience, constructive dialogue and some impetus for the resolution of some of the world's most pressing disputes. Standing up for what is right in the face of what is wrong with the world -- through love and unity. This is unity, and this is how we at Shemspeed, Be'Chol Lashon & Nu Campaign do it. for additional info, check out: http://shemspeed.com http://thisisylove.com http://diwonmusic.com http://www.bechollashon.org http://www.nucampaign.org | ||

 | Pidyon Haben Ceremony |
|
| Artist: | ||
| Description: When the first-born baby boy is 30 days old, the pidyon haben (redeeming the son) ceremony takes place. Since the time of the exodus, when the Jewish first born were saved from the plague, they should have dedicated their lives to priestly service in the Temple. The Cohanim from the tribe of Levi took the place of the firstborn in the Temple. So, technically, the first-born must be redeemed by a Cohen for money, otherwise he would technically need to serve in the Temple with the Cohanim. The ceremony is conducted with 5 pieces of silver which are given by the father to the Cohen in order to redeem his son. The Cohen then gives the child a blessing. It is customary to adorn the baby with jewels along with sugar and garlic. Those present will take home the sugar and garlic and cook it in a meal with those who could not attend, and thereby partake in the spiritual merit of the event. As with all Jewish festivities... we end the ceremony with some wine and food! Mazel Tov | ||

 | Jewish War Heroes of the British Armed Forces (Part 1) |
|
| Artist: | ||
| Description: This 30 minute film was commissioned out of respect for the tremendous numbers of British Jews who fought and fell for King and Country. Our story begins with battles against the French in 1759, followed by Trafalgar and Waterloo. 55,000 British Jews fought in World War 1. We recount their courage with rarely seen archive film. In World War 2, British Jews fought in disproportionate numbers to their small population: 60,000 of the country's 360,000 Jewish citizens. That's one sixth of all British Jews. This film captures the living testimonies of ex-servicemen and women. These extraordinary people undertook audacious missions whether on the front lines, flying hazardous bombing runs, dodging U-boats or behind enemy lines. Many gave their lives for British values. Our production shows the atrocities of the Holocaust and the British liberation of Belsen-Bergen Death Camp. After the war, British Jews returning from duty were appalled to see Moseley's blackshirts in Britain; and it was British Jews who campaigned to end the threat of fascism once and for all. During National Service and as regular officers, British Jews have fought and fallen alongside their British countrymen: from Cyprus and Korea to the Falklands, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Iraq. | ||

 | Jewish Documentary - Full Film |
|
| Artist: | ||
| Description: http://JewishHistory.org Faith and Fate is a documentary telling the story of the Jews in the 20th Century. The first Episode is called, "The Dawn of the Century" and covers 1900 - 1910. This episode introduces the uniqueness of Jewish history in the 20th century within the context of world history. At the turn of the 20th century, Jews were scattered across the globe, representing only ¼ of one percent of the worlds population. It was a time of empires, imperial rule and colonial expansionism. In Russia the masses, including the Jews, lived in dire poverty which was compounded by grassroots antisemitism. In 1905 the Russian masses revolted and there was a general strike. On Bloody Sunday the Czar responded with force. The Czar did not abdicate until 1917, which is typically the date given for the second Russian Revolution, which, in turn, led to increased pogroms against the Jews. The pogroms and the economic conditions forced approximately 40% of Jewish population to leave the Russian Empire and go to Western countries including the United States and to Palestine and other countries as far away as South Africa and Australia. Emigration and the Enlightenment presented Jews with the dilemma and opportunity to maintain or reject their traditional Jewish upbringing, and many decided to forgo their traditional Judaism and blend in with their larger non-Jewish society. Within the traditional Jewish world, change was occurring as well, with the rise and acceptance of the Mussar Movement, an ethical approach to Judaism. Because Jews were not allowed into institutions of higher education in Eastern Europe, most of them went to study in yeshivas to sharpen their intellect. The traditional yeshiva, unintentionally, became a breeding ground for all philosophies, Jewish and secular alike. Zionism grew as a national movement, and was led by secular Jews antithetical to traditional Judaism. While most rabbis rejected Zionism and its leaders, because of their nontraditional beliefs, a minority of rabbis developed religious Zionism, which combined traditional Judaism with Zionist philosophy. The Old Yishuv Jews, who had settled in Palestine in the late 1800s, were committed to traditional Judaism and rejected secular, nationalistic ideas of the New Yishuv Zionists. The Sephardic Jews living in Moslem and Arab countries at the turn of the 20th Century maintained their own rich Jewish traditions and heritage, which often differed from those of the Ashkenazim. There was relative peace within the Jewish community and among the leadership in these Arab and Moslem countries, and although life was sometimes difficult, these Sephardic Jews did not experience, by and large, pogroms or the influences of the Enlightenment or Reform Judaism. In Europe, Jews were the leaders of the Labor and Socialist movements and spearheaded the establishment of labor unions in America. The challenge of assimilation in the United States was the greatest difficulty confronting Jewish immigrants. Attempts were made to stem the tide. Reform Judaism became a symbol of acceptance into modern American society and Dr. Solomon Schechter initiated the Universal Synagogue movement which became Conservative Judaism. Also Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jewish immigrants had to find their respective places within the Jewish community and in their new host country, the United States, as well.. A small, strong group of American Jewish immigrants managed to cling to their Jewish traditions and adapt themselves to the new reality in America. Meanwhile, for Jews around the world, with the threat of WWI looming, the imperial race for supremacy was escalating. | ||
