In this episode we're straying from the rock novels camp to talk about a single short story, entitled “A Wayfarer at Devil's Elbow,” written by North Carolina author, Pushcart Prize nominee, and musician Emily Alice Katz. The story, which appears in the new online issue of ‘North Carolina Literary Review' was a finalist in the 2022 Doris Betts Fiction Prize, an annual competition sponsored by the North Carolina Writers' Network, with winning entries and some finalists published in ‘NCLR'. Full disclosure: I serve as Senior Associate Editor of the journal. You can find a link in the show notes to the new issue of ‘NCLR', where you can read Emily's story and all the other amazing stories, essays, and poetry in the issue. Emily Alice Katz's short fiction has appeared in such literary journals as ‘North Carolina Literary Review,' ‘Salamander', ‘Jelly Bucket', ‘Meridian', ‘South Carolina Review', and ‘storySouth'. Her short story collection, ‘The Book of Nut and Other Stories', was designated a finalist for the 2019 Eludia Award. And her short story “Little Hen” is included in the 2022 anthology ‘Frankly Feminist: Short Stories by Jewish Women from “Lilith Magazine”.' She has a PhD in modern Jewish studies from the Jewish Theological Seminary. Her book, 'Bringing Zion Home: Israel in American Jewish Culture, 1948-1967', was published in 2015. “A Wayfarer at Devil's Elbow” follows a young music journalist in her quest to locate and interview an obscure 1970s experimental rock musician from the mountains of North Carolina, Nyssa Adcock, who has fallen off the musical map and become a recluse and a bit of a rock ‘n roll mystery. Fans of this period in music history and Appalachian literature and lore will be enchanted by the story, an excerpt from which Emily reads at the beginning of the episode, and our discussion. You'll also hear an abundance of Appalachian music as well as Emily's own music. See the playlist below.  Special thanks to Tim Randall and Hub Respess for providing the voices of music critics in the opening.   MUSIC AND MEDIA IN THE EPISODE IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Horror Ambience Royalty Free Music "Witch by the Sea" by Darren Curtis Jack White “Great High Mountain” from Cold Mountain Soundtrack Rock is Lit theme music Clip from Season 3 Announcement/'Duck Tales'/Disney Channel [Guitar Instrumental Beat] Sad Rock [Free Use Music] Punch Deck—“I Can't Stop” Appalachian steel guitar folk blues royalty free production music (before and after reading) “Devil's Courthouse” by Jim Vancleve Clip from ‘Signs Cures Witchery': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwaUcSRsQPQ&t=134s Roger Sprung & His Progressive Bluegrassers “Mississippi Sawyer” Royalty free ‘60s ‘70s psychedelic rock n roll music Manifesto Klezmer Band (featuring Emily Alice Katz) “Mayn shtam redt” Manifesto Klezmer Band (featuring Emily Alice Katz) “Ikh bin geven amol a yingling” Here & Elsewhere (featuring Emily Alice Katz and Dan McClure) “The One You Never Knew” Rock is Lit theme music—royalty free background music    LINKS: Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Goodpods: https://goodpods.com/podcasts/rock-is-lit-212451 Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rock-is-lit/id1642987350 ‘North Carolina Literary Review' (read Emily's story “A Wayfarer at Devil's Elbow” in the fall online issue): https://nclr.ecu.edu/issues/nclr-fall-online-2023/ Emily Alice Katz's website: https://emilyalicekatz.com/ Emily Alice Katz on Instagram: @emkatz Christy Alexander Hallberg's website: https://www.christyalexanderhallberg.com/ Christy Alexander Hallberg on Twitter, Instagram & YouTube: @ChristyHallberg Learn more about your ad choices.

In Piety and Rebellion: Essays in Hasidism (Academic Studies Press, 2019), Shaul Magid examines the span of the Hasidic textual tradition from its earliest phases to the 20th century. The essays collected in this volume focus on the tension between Hasidic fidelity to tradition and its rebellious attempt to push the devotional life beyond the borders of conventional religious practice. Many of the essays exhibit a comparative perspective deployed to better articulate the innovative spirit, and traditional challenges, Hasidism presents to the traditional Jewish world. Piety and Rebellion is an attempt to present Hasidism as one case whereby maximalist religion can yield a rebellious challenge to conventional conceptions of religious thought and practice. Shaul Magid is the Distinguished Fellow in Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College and has written extensively on Jewish Thought, Kabbalah, Hasidism, and American Jewish Culture. Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press, 2020).

On this episode, especially for Mother's Day in the UK we have Marjorie Ingall, Author of 'Mamaleh Knows Best', 'Tablet Magazine' columnist and half of 'Sorry Watch' to discuss American Jewish Culture, comedy, the history of geeks and how to apologise. At the moment it's hard for most of us as we can't see our mums but on behalf of all children, thanks Mum. This was recorded all the way back at Limmud Festival 2018, but I wanted to preserve this gem of an interview for Mother's Day.  

World War Two and the establishment of the State of Israel significantly altered American Jewish attitudes toward Zionism. American Jews supported Israel during times of conflict, like the 1948 war. However, it was not until 1967 that Israel rose to the top of the American Jewish political agenda. Emily Alice Katz, in her new book, argues that the consumption of Israeli culture after 1948 laid the ground work for this political transformation. Katz’ book, Bringing Zion Home: Israel in American Jewish Culture, 1948-1967 (SUNY Press, 2015) examines the role of cultural engagement with Israel in American Jewish communities after the establishment of the State. During this period, American Jews increasingly read books about Israel, danced Israeli folk dances, consumed Israeli art and music, and purchased Israeli products. These cultural practices were informed by multiple ideologies and agendas. For some they were part of a desire for authentic Jewish practice, for others they marked American Jews as modern middle-class Americans; and while some thought engagement with Israel should signal commitment to immigration oriented Zionism, most American Jews, it seems, understood Zionism as Jewish cultural revival. American Jews insisted that the United States and Israel shared common beliefs and interests and that, therefore, Israel had a natural place in American culture. Likewise, non-Jews embraced Israeli culture as part of a post war trend of internationalism, which advocated pluralism at the same time that the United States was using cultural exports to exert influence abroad as part of the cold war. All these cultural factors played an important role in the development of the “special relationship” between the United States and Israel, which continues until this day.
