Israel’s Holocaust ‘Obsession’? — A Radio “Debate” With Avrum Burg
Interfaith Radio (http://interfaithradio.org) recently interviewed Avrum Burg, former speaker of the Knesset, on his recent controversial book. They then interviewed me for an alternate perspective. The interview (along with an audio file that can be downloaded) is available at http://interfaithradio.org/node/892. Burg’s interview begins at 22 min 56 sec, while the segment with me begins at 37 min 12 sec.
In a controversial new book, Avraham Burg argues that Israel is “stuck in Auschwitz,” using the Holocaust as the defining experience of Jewish identity. This former speaker of the Israeli Parliament says his country’s preoccupation has led to an unhealthy nationalism that mourns the past, fears the future and feeds violence.
Daniel Gordis also views Israel as Holocaust-centric, but doesn’t think it impacts Israeli politics as negatively as Burg suggests. He emphasizes Israel’s mandate to remember, and points out that the country was founded by survivors of the Holocaust.
Meir Banai – Shma Koli
As a reviewer on Amazon.com says, “After a reconnection with his Jewish religious roots. Meir Banai has released an album of songs with the lyrics taken from classic Jewish sources. Guests on this album are Ehud Banai, Yonatan Razel, and Amir Benayoun.”
Shalom Hanoch and Shlomo Artzi – Shlomo v’Shalom, Live in Cesaria
From hasifria.com.au: Two of the biggest stars over the last 30 years in Israel are Shlomo Artzi and Shalom Hanoch. The two of them for the first time ever teamed up in the summer of 2005 to play a few concerts in the amphitheatre in the ancient city of Cesaria, on the Mediterranean coast of Israel. A must for all Israeli music collections!
David Broza – HaMeitav
The son of an Israeli/British businessman and a folk singer, David Broza was born in the city of Haifa, Israel, and was raised and educated in England and Spain. He began playing guitar in cafes to earn extra money, and was eventually offered a record deal. Since he still hoped to attend the Rhode Island School of Design, he declined; he later recorded a tape to promote his live shows. He now releases CDs in three languages: Hebrew, English, and Spanish. “HaMeitav” is a collection of the best of Broza’s music.
Dr. Daniel Gordis is Senior Vice President of the Shalem Center, where he is also a senior fellow. The author of numerous books on Jewish thought and currents in Israel...
The Jewish State must end, say its enemies, from intellectuals like Tony Judt to hate-filled demagogues like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Even average Israelis are wondering if they wouldn't be better off somewhere else.
