Podcasts about Livorno

Come sempre, dedichiamo la prima parte della nostra trasmissione a una discussione sull'attualità. La nostra prima conversazione prende spunto da un articolo pubblicato sulla rivista The Atlantic. L'autore sostiene che gli Stati Uniti potrebbero aver subito una sconfitta nel confronto con l'Iran e che la perdita strategica americana non possa più essere recuperata. Poi, parleremo di un'indagine penale francese contro Elon Musk e la sua piattaforma social X. Le accuse includono la diffusione di immagini di abusi sessuali su minori, deepfake, disinformazione e complicità nella negazione di crimini contro l'umanità attraverso il sistema di intelligenza artificiale di X, Grok. Nella nostra rubrica scientifica della settimana parleremo di uno studio che rivela che i pappagalli selvatici imitano gli altri pappagalli quando provano cibi nuovi e sconosciuti. E concluderemo la prima parte del programma di oggi con una discussione sulla 61ª Biennale di Venezia, inaugurata il 9 maggio in un clima di forti tensioni geopolitiche e proteste diffuse.   La seconda parte di questa puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è The indefinite pronouns: qualcosa, niente, and nulla. Ne troverete diversi esempi nel dialogo dedicato alla nuova ordinanza del Comune di Livorno contro la pipì dei cani in strada. Un confronto che parte da un problema giudicato da molti cittadini fastidioso e maleodorante. Nel finale, daremo spazio all'espressione idiomatica del giorno: essere all'altezza in un confronto su Silvia Salis, sindaca di Genova e figura emergente della politica italiana, sempre più presente al centro del dibattito pubblico nazionale. - Gli Stati Uniti stanno perdendo il confronto con l'Iran? - Le autorità francesi proseguono le indagini penali contro Grok, l'intelligenza artificiale di Musk - I pappagalli selvatici imitano gli altri pappagalli quando provano cibi nuovi e sconosciuti - Le polemiche politiche caratterizzano l'edizione 2026 della Biennale di Venezia - Pipì dei cani, a Livorno serve la bottiglietta - Silvia Salis, la promessa che scuote la politica italiana

On this day, 14 May 2021, dock workers in Livorno, Italy, refused to load weapons and explosives destined for Israel during a wave of Israeli attacks on Gaza.Members of the rank and file Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) discovered where the shipment was headed, and then decided they would not touch it. They issued a statement declaring: "The port of Livorno will not be an accomplice in the massacre of the Palestinian people… weapons and explosives that will serve to kill the Palestinian population, already hit by a severe attack this very night, which caused hundreds of civilian victims, including many children".The shipment was then eventually loaded by dock workers who were not USB members.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8608/livorno-dockers-boycottOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai traversed Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa on behalf of his brethren in Eretz Yisrael. His missions raised vital funds, to keep the Jews from being driven out of town, whilst facing bandits, maritime disasters, and oppressive authorities along the way. With the aid of his diary, this episode gives a vivid first-hand account of his challenges, deprivation, triumphs and breadth of travel. Beyond his journeys, the Chida's genius is seen through his prolific writings. Author of 100 different sefarim on Halacha, Tanach, Kabbala & Talmud, they continue to guide Judaism today. Shem HaGedolim, remains a monumental encyclopedia of rabbinic authors and works, which reflect his incredible memory and knowledge. Birkei Yosef and Yosef Ometz are cornerstones of psak, written as he travelled thousands of miles over many decades. But the final act was written in 1960.   Timestamps: - 0:00 — Intro mention of Shem ha‑Gdolim editions   - 0:21 — Podcast intro by Mena Reisner   - 1:00 — Hosts reconnect; travel note and dedication   - 2:32 — Episode topic: life & travels of Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai (the Chida)   - 3:01 — Family origins; great‑grandfather and signature story   - 4:13 — Birth in Jerusalem, early life, prodigy and writings   - 7:53 — Teachers, Kabbalistic training, reason for emissary mission   - 10:26 — Language issues, letters of recommendation, mixed receptions in Europe   - 15:04 — Collection logistics, contacts with non‑Jewish authorities, successes   - 18:46 — Travel hazards and accidents; manuscript research in libraries   - 22:32 — England/France encounters and sightseeing   - 26:29 — Return to Eretz Yisrael (1758), political troubles, five‑year stay in Egypt   - 31:05 — Tunis episode, personal losses, diary entries   - 35:49 — Second mission, Livorno quarantine, composing Shem ha‑Gdolim   - 39:05 — Scope of travels, settlement in Livorno, later life and death (1806)   - 42:23 — Burial details, estate instructions, study practices, halachic/Kabbalistic approach   - 48:55 — Stories/legends (attempts to hasten redemption, miracles)   - 55:07 — Reburial efforts to Jerusalem; episode closing and contact info

If there was one group that consistently thwarted Maximilian's grand plans for world domination, it was the princes of the Holy Roman Empire. He had given in to their demands for Imperial Reform, had granted the Reichstag far reaching powers, had established the Reichskammergericht as a law court independent of imperial authority and had announced the much longed for ban on feuding. But did the princes, counts, knights and cities hold up their end of the bargain and paid him taxes to raise the armies needed to defend the borders of the empire – well you bet.They left him hanging before Livorno, they collected berries instead of fighting in the Swiss war, and – spoiler alert – they will not raise a little finger to help Ludovioco il Moro to regain his duchy of Milan, even though Milan had been an imperial fief since the days of Charlemagne and Otto the Great. No money, no soldiers, nothing.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima. Compie 18 anni e diventa maggiorenne l'ultima partita del Fenomeno, l'ultima nel Milan, in Serie A, nel calcio italiano ed europeo. L'ultima partita di Ronaldo con la maglia del Milan è stata proprio contro il Livorno, nel febbraio 2008, 18 anni fa. Un ricordo certamente non felice in un periodo breve ma indubbiamente intenso e significativo, quello dell'attaccante brasiliano con i nostri colori. Un periodo che riviviamo nella nuova puntata del nostro podcast.

Vandaag in Il Divin Codino: het verhaal van spits Cristiano Lucarelli, die gedurende zijn loopbaan niet voor het grote geld ging, maar er alles aan deed om bij 'zijn' Livorno terecht te komen.

Author Noam Sienna unveils a vast Sephardic world created by these books. This literary network transcended geographical boundaries, connecting Jewish communities from Fez and Tunis to Salonica, Jerusalem, and Livorno. By examining cultural centers and tracing the journey of these texts, Sienna provides depth to our understanding of a remarkably global and worldly book culture, and its evolving role in the growth of Jewish modernity.While the content of Jewish books has long fascinated scholars, Jewish Books in North Africa shifts our focus to the physical context. These books were not isolated artifacts; they were embedded in cultural networks during a period of religious, political, and cultural transformation. Sienna's work sheds light on the intricate interplay between books and the dynamic world in which they existed.

L'ospite di questo episodio di PDR è Carlo Pallavicino, uno dei procuratori calcistici che ha praticamente questo mestiere in Italia.Carlo ha raccontato di come, agli inizi, ci fosse un'aperta ostilità da parte dei Direttori Sportivi e dei presidenti .Era una questione di rifiuto del mercato e di potere: i DS gestivano le squadre come fattori in un podere di campagna, con metodi spicci e controllo totale. L'arrivo dei procuratori, che davano voce e diritti ai calciatori (fino ad allora vincolati a vita al club), fu visto come un'invasione di campo inaccettabile, la legge Bosman poi cambiò tutto per sempre. Carlo mi ha portato dentro la sala macchine del calcio italiano degli ultimi 30 anni con retroscena incredibili, come la notte in cui nascose Ronaldo e i suoi agenti a casa sua a Firenze per portarlo all'Inter beffando il Barcellona , o la scelta controcorrente di Lucarelli che rifiutò miliardi pur di giocare nel Livorno. Si passa dalle tattiche di Moggi, che sfiancava gli avversari con attese di ore negli hotel , alla battaglia legale contro Lotito per il mobbing a Pandev, finita con l'avvocato in fuga su un treno merci nella neve. Abbiamo parlato della genesi del primo grande portale di settore, Calciomercato.com, fondato da Carlo, e della prima diretta streaming con Ronaldo che mandò in tilt internet. Abbiamo parlato anche della psicologia degli allenatori, Carlo ha vissuto da vicino la loro solitudine, quel momento in cui, quando le cose vanno male, diventano il "fusibile" perfetto da bruciare. Abbiamo dato uuno sguardo anche al calcio moderno: stipendi, social, procuratori-star come Raiola e il sistema dei giovani e affrontato la crisi del calcio italiano, le due mancate qualificazioni ai Mondiali che non hanno generato nessuno cambio ai vertici della federazione. Sullo sfondo restano storie di grande umanità, come quella struggente di Baggio che spinge la carrozzina di Borgonovo sotto la curva Fiesole. Il libro di Carlo si intitola “Ci chiamavano Sciacalli” (Baldini + Castoldi) Questo episodio è offerto dall'olio extravergine "Il Fuoco invisibile" , fino al 31 gennaio: 6 bottiglie a 95 euro spedizione inclusa qui: https://forestaforte.com/prodotto/il-fuoco-invisibile-olio-extra-vergine-di-oliva-italiano-estratto-a-freddo-leccino-fs17-favolosa-coratina-0-50l/ La nuova edizione di ODIO è qui: https://amzn.to/44VUzdh I libri di tutti gli ospiti di PDR e qualche consiglio di lettura sono qui: https://www.amazon.it/shop/danielerielli La mia newsletter gratuita: https://danielerielli.substack.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/danielerielli/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/danielerielli Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/quitthedoner/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Infine, non poteva mancare la nostra guida speciale per le feste con i Vini di Natale 2025, per scegliere le etichette perfette da mettere sotto l'albero o portare in tavola.Un'esplorazione che ha unito la magia della neve, il calore delle storie di famiglia e il gusto delle feste!

Pier Giorgio Curti"Riflessi di solitudine"Un percorso tra psicoanalisi, pittura e filosofiaEdizioni ETSwww.edizioniets.comIn questo saggio, lo sguardo di uno psicoanalista che dialoga con la filosofia e l'arte si posa su un tema tanto universale quanto sfuggente: la solitudine. Non come esperienza da definire, ma come spazio da attraversare. Attraverso un percorso volutamente frammentario – simile a una visita in una mostra immaginaria – il lettore è invitato a camminare tra specchi, prismi e anamorfosi, figure simboliche che mettono in scena l'identità come movimento, disallineamento, possibilità.Il testo intreccia storia delle idee e storia delle immagini, proponendo una cartografia della soggettività moderna: instabile, riflessa, decentrata. In questo intreccio, l'arte non è solo oggetto estetico, ma superficie rivelatrice dell'animo umano, luogo di pensiero e affetto, esercizio dello sguardo obliquo. Più che spiegare, questo libro mostra: mostra come la solitudine apra squarci inattesi sull'identità, come il vuoto possa farsi soglia, e come il senso emerga, a volte, solo nel disorientamento.Pier Giorgio Curti è psicologo, psicoterapeuta, psicoanalista, saggista, direttore delle strutture O.A.M.I. di Livorno, supervisore individuale e istituzionale, direttore della collana editoriale “Oltre la disabilità” pubblicata da ETS. Da oltre trent'anni la sua ricerca opera nei margini tra psicoanalisi, filosofia e arte.

Francesco Napoli"Giorgio Caproni. Scrittore in versi"Edizioni Areswww.edizioniares.it“Caproni è un poeta che scende nelle profondità dell'essere, nel porto sepolto dell'animo per ricavare poi l'inesauribile segreto della poesia”.Francesco NapoliGiorgio Caproni (1912-1990) è sempre più protagonista assoluto della nostra poesia. In queste pagine, Francesco Napoli ne ripercorre la vita e le opere: dagli anni dell'infanzia a Livorno a quelli di formazione a Genova, fino al periodo romano della maturità letteraria. Poeta dal tono apparentemente semplice e colloquiale, era in grado, in realtà, di toccare le grandi domande della vita, trasformando il proprio vissuto in versi indimenticabili: dolore, morte, amore, memoria e ricerca di Dio.Arricchisce questo invito alla lettura un'intima conversazione con lo scrittore Maurizio Cucchi, che racconta l'uomo dietro al poeta.Francesco Napoli (Napoli 1959) è critico letterario, giornalista e consulente. Ha pubblicato numerosi saggi sulla poesia italiana contemporanea su quotidiani, riviste e in volume tra i quali: Novecento prossimo venturo.

Piera Ventre"Stella randagia"NNEditorewww.nneditore.itÈ il 1909 ed Esterina lascia il paese natio in Friuli per lavorare presso la famiglia nobile dei Ribas, a Napoli. All'arrivo è sconvolta dal fermento della città e dallo sfarzo della nuova casa. I padroni – la bella Porzia, l'insulso marito Giacomo, la severa cognata Orsola – le dicono che dovrà occuparsi di Malvina, figlia di Porzia e Giacomo, una creatura fragile e deforme che vive da sempre segregata nella sua stanza. La bambina, invece, è vivace e intelligente, e dimostra un carattere singolare: sostiene di avere un'amica invisibile, che le annuncia gioie e disgrazie, e di capire i versi degli uccelli. Ester vorrebbe non crederle, ma nella casa si avvertono sussurri inquietanti e presenze misteriose, e lei stessa è in preda alle visioni del suo tragico passato. Nonostante il turbamento, Ester impara ad amare Malvina; ma un giorno, l'annuncio dell'arrivo della cometa di Halley, presagio della fine del mondo, getta casa Ribas e tutta Napoli nel caos, e mette Ester di fronte a una scelta drammatica e audace. Piera Ventre ci porta nella Napoli sontuosa della belle époque, dove il progresso si fonde con la superstizione e le sedute spiritiche convivono con i salotti letterari. Stella randagia è una storia fiabesca, di riscatto e speranza, in cui la bellezza dell'anima può rovesciare le sorti del mondo e cambiare il destino degli ultimi.Questo libro è per chi ha visto il carro della Sirena Partenope, per chi, ascoltando La sonnambula, prova nostalgia di eventi mai accaduti, per chi legge il futuro nella luce di stelle spente da millenni, e per chi fa spazio nel cuore al ricordo e al sogno, perché illumini la realtà dei colori cangianti di un fuoco d'artificio.Piera Ventre è nata a Napoli e vive e lavora a Livorno. Con Palazzokimbo (Neri Pozza 2016) è stata finalista alla seconda edizione del Premio Neri Pozza e ha vinto il Premio Pavoncella.

Italo Testa"Democrazia e educazione"Festival Filosofiawww.festivalfilosofia.itFestival Filosofia, SassuoloItalo TestaDemocrazia e educazionedi John DeweyVenerdì 19 settembre 2025, ore 11:30Qual è stato il contributo della filosofia di Dewey a una concezione pratica dell'educazione? Questa lezione analizza l'idea di conoscenza come esperienza trasformativa, evidenziando come l'interazione tra soggetti e ambienti possa orientare la formazione individuale all'interno di una comunità democratica. Italo Testa  è professore di Filosofia Teoretica e Sociale, Teoria Critica e Filosofia Politica presso l'Università di Parma. È inoltre poeta, saggista, traduttore. È stato Visiting Professor presso l'Université Paris-Panthéon-Assas, l'University of New South Wales, ed Erasmus Visiting Lecturer presso la Freie Universität di Berlino. Le sue ricerche spaziano dalla filosofia classica tedesca al pragmatismo americano, con particolare attenzione al pensiero di John Dewey, così come alla teoria critica, all'embodied cognition, all'ontologia sociale, alla teoria dell'argomentazione e alla poesia contemporanea. I suoi studi affrontano le questioni del riconoscimento reciproco, della nozione di seconda natura, dell'abitudine e delle pratiche sociali, delle nozioni di anafora e ripetizione. Ha approfondito il pensiero di John Dewey, in particolare il nesso fra educazione ed esperienza, le implicazioni filosofico-politiche della sua concezione della democrazia come forma di vita, esplorando l'ontologia sociale e la dimensione esperienziale nella sua filosofia. Dirige la rivista di poesia, arti e scritture “L'Ulisse” ed è coordinatore del lit-blog “Le parole e le cose”. Tra i suoi libri: Ragione impura. Una jam session su metafisica e immaginazione (con Rino Genovese, Milano 2006); Teorie dell'argomentazione.

Riconoscimento naturale e ontologia sociale nello Hegel di Jena (Milano 2010). Ha curato, con Fausto Caruana, Habits. Pragmatist Approaches from Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, and Social Theory (London 2020). Tra le sue pubblicazioni letterarie e poetiche più recenti: La divisione della gioia (Massa 2010); Tutto accade ovunque (Torino 2016); L'indifferenza naturale (Milano 2018); Teoria delle rotonde.

Michele Marziani"Il bandito"Bottega Errante Edizioniwww.bottegaerranteedizioni.itNon sarà troppo per dei montanari come noi? Tutto questo nuovo che arriva: le navi, gli indiani d'America, il socialismo, i giornalisti, la guerra, il mare.All'alba della Prima guerra mondiale un gruppo di banditi delle Alpi occidentali sogna il mare e una nuova idea di libertà, alla ricerca delle sponde di Livorno.Il Novecento è appena iniziato e corre al ritmo di una modernità mai vista prima. La guerra non è ancora arrivata in Italia ma un gruppo di banditi scuote le montagne della Valsesia. Tra le Alpi piemontesi si vocifera del ritorno di Pietro il Bandito, oppure dell'arrivo di Pietro lo Sparviero. Insieme a lui qualche giovane raccolto tra i monti, un pellerossa licenziatosi dal circo di Buffalo Bill, una fotografa e un giornalista socialista. Pietro è tornato sulle sue montagne con nuove utopie, che volano più alte e rapide del rapace suo compagno di caccia. Sogna il mare e una nave come quelle del libro di Salgari che ha imparato a leggere in carcere, sogna un incarico da pirata e una libertà che lassù non capiscono.Michele Marziani. Nato nel 1962 a Rimini, vive sulle Alpi piemontesi, in alta Valsesia. È autore di diversi romanzi, una raccolta di racconti, due memoir filosofici, oltre a numerosi libri di viaggi e antropologia del cibo e del vino.

Three travelers, three eras, countless miles—and not one of them racing to a finish line. From Marco Polo's China, Benjamin of Tudela's regal Baghdad, to the Chida's street debates in Livorno and rejected snacks in Amsterdam, none sought fame or fortune. They gathered meaning, moment by moment. Because sometimes, the journey _is_ the destination.

Giuseppe Benassi"Cinque più uno"Transeuropa Edizioniwww.transeuropaedizioni.itUn avvocato livornese, noto per la sua battaglia contro le restrizioni anti-Covid, viene trovato morto nel suo uliveto. Un romanzo che mescola il noir e la cronaca politica, dove il delitto si muove tra rancori personali e retroscena inquietanti. A raccogliere il testimone dell'indagine è l'avvocato Leopoldo Borrani, un personaggio caustico, ironico e disincantato, che si muove tra le strade di Livorno e le colline toscane cercando risposte in una rete di bugie, potere e ipocrisia. Giuseppe Benassi firma un giallo intenso e provocatorio, che unisce la tensione del noir con una riflessione pungente sulla società contemporanea. Cinque più uno è una lettura che incalza, diverte e inquieta, mettendo a nudo le contraddizioni di un'epoca e di una giustizia che spesso oscilla tra verità e potere.Giuseppe Benassi, nato nel 1960, professione avvocato, ha pubblicato otto romanzi della stessa serie ambientata a Livorno.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Livorno, 10 aprile 1991 – Il traghetto Moby Prince salpa in serata dal porto toscano diretto a Olbia, con 141 persone a bordo. Poche miglia dopo l'uscita in mare, la nave entra in collisione con la petroliera Agip Abruzzo, ferma alla fonda e carica di greggio. In pochi minuti, un incendio violentissimo avvolge il traghetto. Mentre la petroliera riesce a mettere in salvo il proprio equipaggio, il Moby Prince resta alla deriva, completamente avvolto dalle fiamme. I soccorsi non arrivano in tempo. Alla fine, solo un giovane mozzo sopravvive: tutti gli altri passeggeri e membri dell'equipaggio muoiono asfissiati o ustionati. L'inchiesta individua la nebbia e un errore umano come cause principali della tragedia. Ma con il passare degli anni emergono nuovi indizi, contraddizioni e ipotesi inquietanti: perché le squadre di soccorso impiegarono quasi due ore a localizzare il relitto? Cosa c'era davvero quella notte nella rada di Livorno? E che ruolo ebbero le compagnie armatoriali e le istituzioni?

Journeying through large swaths of the Jewish world of the 18th century, Rav Chaim Yosef David Azulai (1724-1806), known by his acronym the Chida, was privy to the broad range of the various Jewish communities across Europe and North Africa, as well as observing the happenings within each community as an objective observer. He recorded his impressions of his travels, which remains an invaluable historical document, produced by one of the greatest Torah scholars in recent centuries. As a world class Torah scholar who served as a fundraiser on behalf of the Sephardic Old Yishuv of the Land of Israel, the Chida spent the majority of his life on the road, eventually settling in Livorno, Italy, where he served as rabbi until his passing. His literary output was immense, with his many seforim remaining popular until this very day.        Subscribe to Jewish History Soundbites Podcast on: PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ or your favorite podcast platform Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history or feedback contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Marco Ferrari"Il partigiano che divenne imperatore"Laterza Editoriwww.laterza.itUn fantasma si aggira per l'Europa e per l'Africa. È il fantasma di un uomo che guida le Brigate internazionali in Spagna e poi attraversa i deserti del Sudan. Un fantasma che diventa imperatore d'Etiopia per conto di Hailé Selassié e guida i partigiani abissini contro i fascisti italiani. Questofantasma ha un nome, Ilio Barontini, e questa è la sua storia.Questo libro racconta una storia vera e dimenticata. Una storia in cui si respira l'odore acre del Novecento e che potrebbe uscire dalle pagine di Graham Greene. Siamo nel 1938, Ilio Barontini, comunista livornese, ha combattuto nella guerra di Spagna tanto da diventare l'eroe della battaglia di Guadalajara.A Parigi viene scelto dai servizi segreti francesi e britannici per una missione rischiosissima: organizzare le forze partigiane abissine che devono resistere alla conquista fascista. Infatti, Mussolini aveva conquistato con l'uso dell'iprite i villaggi e le città più importanti, la ferrovia Addis Abeba-Gibuti e le principali vie di comunicazione, ma una parte considerevole del territorio era ancora in mano agli arbegnuoc, i patrioti etiopi. Barontini – assieme ad Anton Ukmar, ex ferroviere sloveno di Gorizia conosciuto in Spagna, e a Bruno Rolla, comunista spezzino –formò un esercito di oltre 250 mila uomini composto da piccole formazioni mobili e venne nominato dal Negus viceimperatore di Abissinia. Dotato dello scettro imperiale, il comunista di Livorno tenne a bada i vari ras, portò a termine missioni importanti e pubblicò un giornale bilingue, “La voce degli Abissini”, tanto da diventare una leggenda.La missione terminò nel giugno 1940, quando i tre antifascisti italiani intrapresero la via del ritorno tra malattie e assalti di predoni. Si ritrovarono miracolosamente vivi a Khartum dove scattarono l'unica fotografia che li ritrae insieme.Marco Ferrari, giornalista e scrittore spezzino, ha esordito nella narrativa nel 1988 con il romanzo Tirreno (Editori Riuniti), a cui hanno fatto seguito: I sogni di Tristan,Grand Hotel Oceano eTi ricordi Glauber per Sellerio; La vera storia del mitico undici per Ponte alle Grazie; Cuore Atlantico e Morire a Clipperton per Mursia; Le nuvole di Timor per Cavallo di Ferro; Sirenate per Il Melangolo; Un tango per il duceper Voland; Rosalia Montmasson. L'angelo dei Mille per Mondadori.Con Arrigo Petacco ha firmato Ho sparato a Garibaldi e Caporetto per Mondadori e con Marino Magliani Sporca faccenda, mezzala Morettini per Atlantide. Per Laterza è autore di: Mare verticale. Dalle Cinque Terre a Bocca di Magra; L'incredibile storia di António Salazar, il dittatore che morì due volte; Ahi, Sudamerica! Oriundi, tango e fútbol; Alla rivoluzione sulla Due Cavalli. con Ritorno a Lisbona 50 anni dopo.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Come si può raggiungere una velocità di oltre 70 km/h in windsurf? Ne abbiamo parlato con Matteo Iachino, tre volte campione mondiale di windsurf e protagonista di imprese straordinarie: la traversata dalla Liguria alla Corsica e quella da Olbia a Livorno, entrambe completate in solitaria. In questa intervista esclusiva, Matteo ci racconta i segreti dei suoi record e il funzionamento del foil, una pinna subacquea che trasforma la tavola in un mezzo capace di sollevarsi sull'acqua, aumentando velocità e controllo. Approfondiamo con lui gli aspetti tecnici e scientifici di questa innovazione che ha rivoluzionato il windsurf. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

La Roma ha giocato spesso in questi giorni di Dicembre. Ad esempio nel 1937, quando affrontò Pontedera e Livorno.E poi il 12 dicembre 1982 con Roma-Inter 2-1, gol di Falcao e Iorio. Gli stessi due marcatori della splendida vittoria col Colonia di quattro giorni prima.

Becoming Modigliani (Rake Press, 2024) is a comprehensive biography that delves into the troubled life of the Jewish-Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani.; Written by Dr. Henri Colt, an internationally recognized lung specialist, the book examines the artist's legend and Modigliani's creative journey from a medical perspective, from his birth in Livorno, Italy, to his tragic death in a paupers' hospital in Paris at the age of thirty-five, presumably from tuberculous meningitis. Becoming Modigliani sheds light on the young man's chronic illnesses, addictions, and relationships with friends and lovers as he navigated the vibrant yet challenging world of early twentieth-century Bohemian Paris. Beginning with "Modi's" birth in 1884, the narrative is divided into five parts, seamlessly blending biographical elements with medical insights and a critical analysis of Modigliani's work among some of the greatest artists of the time. It also provides thoughtful descriptions of a changing society governed by the impact of infectious diseases, war, and a flourishing of other creative geniuses such as Picasso, Jean Cocteau, and Guillaume Apollinaire.

And my grandmother told me this story before she passed away on how they were on this boat coming to Israel.  And they were so happy, and they were crying because they felt that finally after generations upon generations of oppression they are going to come to a place where they are going to be protected, and that she was coming home. MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: The world has overlooked an important episode in modern history: the 800,000 Jews who left or were driven from their homes in the Middle East and North Africa in the mid-20th century. Welcome to the second season of The Forgotten Exodus, brought to you by American Jewish Committee. This series explores that pivotal moment in history and the little-known Jewish heritage of Iran and Arab nations. As Jews around the world confront violent antisemitism and Israelis face daily attacks by terrorists on multiple fronts, our second season explores how Jews have lived throughout the region for generations–despite hardship, hostility, and hatred–then sought safety and new possibilities in their ancestral homeland. I'm your host, Manya Brachear Pashman. Join us as we explore untold family histories and personal stories of courage, perseverance, and resilience from this transformative and tumultuous period of history for the Jewish people and the Middle East.  The world has ignored these voices. We will not. This is The Forgotten Exodus.  Today's episode: leaving Tunisia. __ [Tel Aviv Pride video] MANYA BRACHEAR PASHMAN: Every June, Hen Mazzig, who splits his time between London and Tel Aviv, heads to Israel to show his Pride. His Israeli pride. His LGBTQ+ pride. And his Mizrahi Jewish pride. For that one week, all of those identities coalesce.  And while other cities around the world have transformed Pride into a June version of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Israel is home to one of the few vibrant LGBTQ communities in the Middle East. Tel Aviv keeps it real. HEN: For me, Pride in Israel, in Tel Aviv, it still has this element of fighting for something. And that it's important for all of us to show up and to come out to the Pride Parade because if we're not going to be there, there's some people with agendas to erase us and we can't let them do it. MANYA: This year, the Tel Aviv Pride rally was a more somber affair as participants demanded freedom for the more than 100 hostages still held in Gaza since October 7th.  On that day, Hamas terrorists bent on erasing Jews from the Middle East went on a murderous rampage, killing more than 1,200, kidnapping 250 others, and unleashing what has become a 7-front war on Israel. HEN: In the Israeli DNA and the Jewish DNA we have to fight to be who we are. In every generation, empires and big forces tried to erase us, and we had to fight. And the LGBTQ+ community also knows very well how hard it is. I know what it is to be rejected for several parts of my identity. And I don't want anyone to go through that. I don't want my children to go through that. I'm fighting for my ancestors, but I'm also fighting for our future generation. MANYA: Hen Mazzig is an international speaker, writer, and digital influencer. In 2022, he founded the Tel Aviv Institute, a social media laboratory that tackles antisemitism online. He's also a second-generation Israeli, whose maternal grandparents fled Iraq, while his father's parents fled Tunisia – roots that echo in the family name: Mazzig. HEN: The last name Mazzig never made sense, because in Israel a lot of the last names have meaning in Hebrew.  So I remember one of my teachers in school was saying that Mazzig sounds like mozeg, which means pouring in Hebrew. Maybe your ancestors were running a bar or something? Clearly, this teacher did not have knowledge of the Amazigh people. Which, later on I learned, several of those tribes, those Amazigh tribes, were Jewish or practiced Judaism, and that there was 5,000 Jews that came from Tunisia that were holding both identities of being Jewish and Amazigh.  And today, they have last names like Mazzig, and Amzaleg, Mizzoug. There's several of those last names in Israel today. And they are the descendants of those Jewish communities that have lived in the Atlas Mountains. MANYA: The Atlas Mountains. A 1,500-mile chain of magnificent peaks and treacherous terrain that stretch across Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, separating the Sahara from the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastline.  It's where the nomadic Amazigh have called home for thousands of years. The Amazigh trace their origins to at least 2,000 BCE  in western North Africa. They speak the language of Tamazight and rely on cattle and agriculture as their main sources of income.  But textiles too. In fact, you've probably heard of the Amazigh or own a rug woven by them. A Berber rug. HEN: Amazigh, which are also called Berbers. But they're rejecting this term because of the association with barbarians, which was the title that European colonialists when they came to North Africa gave them. There's beautiful folklore about Jewish leaders within the Amazigh people. One story that I really connected to was the story of Queen Dihya that was also known as El-Kahina, which in Arabic means the Kohen, the priest, and she was known as this leader of the Amazigh tribes, and she was Jewish.  Her derrogaters were calling her a Jewish witch, because they said that she had the power to foresee the future. And her roots were apparently connected to Queen Sheba and her arrival from Israel back to Africa. And she was the descendant of Queen Sheba. And that's how she led the Amazigh people.  And the stories that I read about her, I just felt so connected. How she had this long, black, curly hair that went all the way down to her knees, and she was fierce, and she was very committed to her identity, and she was fighting against the Islamic expansion to North Africa.  And when she failed, after years of holding them off, she realized that she can't do it anymore and she's going to lose. And she was not willing to give up her Jewish identity and convert to Islam and instead she jumped into a well and died. This well is known today in Tunisia. It's the [Bir] Al-Kahina or Dihya's Well that is still in existence. Her descendants, her kids, were Jewish members of the Amazigh people.  Of course, I would like to believe that I am the descendant of royalty. MANYA: Scholars debate whether the Amazigh converted to Judaism or descended from Queen Dihya and stayed.  Lucette Valensi is a French scholar of Tunisian history who served as a director of studies at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris, one of the most prestigious institutions of graduate education in France. She has written extensively about Tunisian Jewish culture.   Generations of her family lived in Tunisia. She says archaeological evidence proves Jews were living in that land since Antiquity. LUCETTE VALENSI: I myself am a Chemla, born Chemla. And this is an Arabic name, which means a kind of belt. And my mother's name was Tartour, which is a turban [laugh]. So the names were Arabic. So my ancestors spoke Arabic. I don't know if any of them spoke Berber before, or Latin. I have no idea. But there were Jews in antiquity and of course, through Saint Augustin. MANYA: So when did Jews arrive in Tunisia? LUCETTE: [laugh] That's a strange question because they were there since Antiquity. We have evidence of their presence in mosaics of synagogues, from the times of Byzantium. I think we think in terms of a short chronology, and they would tend to associate the Jews to colonization, which does not make sense, they were there much before French colonization. They were there for millennia. MANYA: Valensi says Jews lived in Tunisia dating to the time of Carthage, an ancient city-state in what is now Tunisia, that reached its peak in the fourth century BCE. Later, under Roman and then Byzantine rule, Carthage continued to play a vital role as a center of commerce and trade during antiquity.  Besides the role of tax collectors, Jews were forbidden to serve in almost all public offices. Between the 5th and 8th centuries CE, conditions fluctuated between relief and forced conversions while under Christian rule.  After the Islamic conquest of Tunisia in the seventh and early eighth centuries CE, the treatment of Jews largely depended on which Muslim ruler was in charge at the time.  Some Jews converted to Islam while others lived as dhimmis, or second-class citizens, protected by the state in exchange for a special tax known as the jizya. In 1146, the first caliph of the Almohad dynasty, declared that the Prophet Muhammad had granted Jews religious freedom for only 500 years, by which time if the messiah had not come, they had to convert.  Those who did not convert and even those who did were forced to wear yellow turbans or other special garb called shikra, to distinguish them from Muslims. An influx of Jews expelled from Spain and Portugal arrived in the 14th Century. In the 16th Century, Tunisia became part of the Ottoman Empire, and the situation of Jews improved significantly. Another group who had settled in the coastal Tuscan city of Livorno crossed the Mediterranean in the 17th and 18th centuries to make Tunisia their home. LUCETTE: There were other groups that came, Jews from Italy, Jews from Spain, of course, Spain and Portugal, different periods. 14th century already from Spain and then from Spain and Portugal. From Italy, from Livorno, that's later, but the Jews from Livorno themselves came from Spain.  So I myself am named Valensi. From Valencia. It was the family name of my first husband. So from Valencia in Spain they went to Livorno, and from Livorno–Leghorn in English–to Tunisia. MANYA: At its peak, Tunisia's Jewish population exceeded 100,000 – a combination of Sephardi and Mizrahi. HEN: When we speak about Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, specifically in the West, or mainly in the West, we're referring to them as Sephardi. But in Tunisia, it's very interesting to see that there was the Grana community which are Livorno Jews that moved to Tunisia in the 1800s, and they brought the Sephardi way of praying.  And that's why I always use the term Mizrahi to describe myself, because I feel like it encapsulates more of my identity. And for me, the Sephardi title that we often use on those communities doesn't feel accurate to me, and it also has the connection to Ladino, which my grandparents never spoke.  They spoke Tamazight, Judeo-Tamazight, which was the language of those tribes in North Africa. And my family from my mother's side, from Iraq, they were speaking Judeo-Iraqi-Arabic.  So for me, the term Sephardi just doesn't cut it. I go with Mizrahi to describe myself. MANYA: The terms Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi all refer to the places Jews once called home.  Ashkenazi Jews hail from Central and Eastern Europe, particularly Germany, Poland, and Russia. They traditionally speak Yiddish, and their customs and practices reflect the influences of Central and Eastern European cultures.  Pogroms in Eastern Europe and the Holocaust led many Ashkenazi Jews to flee their longtime homes to countries like the United States and their ancestral homeland, Israel.  Mizrahi, which means “Eastern” in Hebrew, refers to the diaspora of descendants of Jewish communities from Middle Eastern countries such as: Iraq, Iran, and Yemen, and North African countries such as: Tunisia, Libya, and Morocco. Ancient Jewish communities that have lived in the region for millennia long before the advent of Islam and Christianity. They often speak dialects of Arabic. Sephardi Jews originate from Spain and Portugal, speaking Ladino and incorporating Spanish and Portuguese cultural influences. Following their expulsion from the Iberian Peninsula in 1492, they settled in regions like North Africa and the Balkans. In Tunisia, the Mizrahi and Sephardi communities lived side by side, but separately. HEN: As time passed, those communities became closer together, still quite separated, but they became closer and closer. And perhaps the reason they were becoming closer was because of the hardship that they faced as Jews.  For the leaders of Muslim armies that came to Tunisia, it didn't matter if you were a Sephardi Jew, or if you were an Amazigh Jew. You were a Jew for them. MANYA: Algeria's invasion of Tunisia in the 18th century had a disproportionate effect on Tunisia's Jewish community. The Algerian army killed thousands of the citizens of Tunis, many of whom were Jewish. Algerians raped Jewish women, looted Jewish homes. LUCETTE: There were moments of trouble when you had an invasion of the Algerian army to impose a prince. The Jews were molested in Tunis. MANYA: After a military invasion, a French protectorate was established in 1881 and lasted until Tunisia gained independence in 1956. The Jews of Tunisia felt much safer under the French protectorate.  They put a lot of stock in the French revolutionary promise of Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Soon, the French language replaced Judeo-Arabic. LUCETTE: Well, under colonization, the Jews were in a better position. First, the school system. They went to modern schools, especially the Alliance [Israélite Universelle] schools, and with that started a form of Westernization.  You had also schools in Italian, created by Italian Jews, and some Tunisian Jews went to these schools and already in the 19th century, there was a form of acculturation and Westernization.  Access to newspapers, creation of newspapers. In the 1880s Jews had already their own newspapers in Hebrew characters, but Arabic language.  And my grandfather was one of the early journalists and they started having their own press and published books, folklore, sort of short stories. MANYA: In May 1940, Nazi Germany invaded France and quickly overran the French Third Republic, forcing the French to sign an armistice agreement in June. The armistice significantly reduced the territory governed by France and created a new government known as the Vichy regime, after the central French city where it was based.  The Vichy regime collaborated with the Nazis, establishing a special administration to introduce anti-Jewish legislation and enforce a compulsory Jewish census in all of its territories including Tunisia. Hen grew up learning about the Holocaust, the Nazis' attempt to erase the Jewish people. As part of his schooling, he learned the names of concentration and death camps and he heard the stories from his friends' grandparents.  But because he was not Ashkenazi, because his grandparents didn't suffer through the same catastrophe that befell Europe, Hen never felt fully accepted.  It was a trauma that belonged to his Ashkenazi friends of German and Polish descent, not to him. Or so they thought and so he thought, until he was a teenager and asked his grandmother Kamisa to finally share their family's journey from Tunisia. That's when he learned that the Mazzig family had not been exempt from Hitler's hatred. In November 1942, Tunisia became the only North African country to come under Nazi Germany's occupation and the Nazis wasted no time. Jewish property was confiscated, and heavy fines were levied on large Jewish communities. With the presence of the Einsatzkommando, a subgroup of the Einsatzgruppen, or mobile killing units, the Nazis were prepared to implement the systematic murder of the Jews of Tunisia. The tide of the war turned just in time to prevent that. LUCETTE: At the time the Germans came, they did not control the Mediterranean, and so they could not export us to the camps. We were saved by that. Lanor camps for men in dangerous places where there were bombs by the Allies. But not for us, it was, I mean, they took our radios. They took the silverware or they took money, this kind of oppression, but they did not murder us.  They took the men away, a few families were directly impacted and died in the camps. A few men. So we were afraid. We were occupied. But compared to what Jews in Europe were subjected to, we didn't suffer.  MANYA: Almost 5,000 Jews, most of them from Tunis and from certain northern communities, were taken captive and incarcerated in 32 labor camps scattered throughout Tunisia. Jews were not only required to wear yellow stars, but those in the camps were also required to wear them on their backs so they could be identified from a distance and shot in the event they tried to escape. HEN: My grandmother never told me until before she died, when she was more open about the stories of oppression, on how she was serving food for the French Nazi officers that were occupying Tunisia, or how my grandfather was in a labor camp, and he was supposed to be sent to a death camp in Europe as well. They never felt like they should share these stories. MANYA: The capture of Tunisia by the Allied forces in May 1943 led the Axis forces in North Africa to surrender. But the country remained under French colonial rule and the antisemitic legislation of the Vichy regime continued until 1944. Many of the Vichy camps, including forced labor camps in the Sahara, continued to operate.  Even after the decline and fall of the Vichy regime and the pursuit of independence from French rule began, conditions for the Mazzig family and many others in the Tunisian Jewish community did not improve.  But the source of much of the hostility and strife was actually a beacon of hope for Tunisia's Jews. On May 14, 1948, the world had witnessed the creation of the state of Israel, sparking outrage throughout the Arab world. Seven Arab nations declared war on Israel the day after it declared independence.  Amid the rise of Tunisian nationalism and its push for independence from France, Jewish communities who had lived in Tunisia for centuries became targets. Guilty by association. No longer welcome. Rabbinical councils were dismantled. Jewish sports associations banned. Jews practiced their religion in hiding. Hen's grandfather recounted violence in the Jewish quarter of Tunis.  HEN: When World War Two was over, the Jewish community in Tunisia was hoping that now that Tunisia would have emancipation, and it would become a country, that their neighbors and the country itself would protect them. Because when it was Nazis, they knew that it was a foreign power that came from France and oppressed them. They knew that there was some hatred in the past, from their Muslim neighbors towards them.  But they also were hoping that, if anything, they would go back to the same status of a dhimmi, of being a protected minority. Even if they were not going to be fully accepted and celebrated in this society, at least they would be protected, for paying tax. And this really did not happen. MANYA: By the early 1950s, life for the Mazzig family became untenable. By then, American Jewish organizations based in Tunis started working to take Jews to Israel right away.  HEN: [My family decided to leave.] They took whatever they had left. And they got on a boat. And my grandmother told me this story before she passed away on how they were on this boat coming to Israel.  And they were so happy, and they were crying because they felt that finally after generations upon generations of oppression of living as a minority that knows that anytime the ruler might turn on them and take everything they have and pull the ground underneath their feet, they are going to come to a place where they are going to be protected. And maybe they will face hate, but no one will hate them because they're Jewish.  And I often dream about my grandmother being a young girl on this boat and how she must have felt to know that the nightmare and the hell that she went through is behind her and that she was coming home. MANYA: The boat they sailed to Israel took days. When Hen's uncle, just a young child at the time, got sick, the captain threatened to throw him overboard. Hen's grandmother hid the child inside her clothes until they docked in Israel. When they arrived, they were sprayed with DDT to kill any lice or disease, then placed in ma'abarot, which in Hebrew means transit camps. In this case, it was a tent with one bed. HEN: They were really mistreated back then. And it's not criticism. I mean, yes, it is also criticism, but it's not without understanding the context. That it was a young country that just started, and those Jewish communities, Jewish refugees came from Tunisia, they didn't speak Hebrew. They didn't look like the other Jewish communities there. And while they all had this in common, that they were all Jews, they had a very different experience. MANYA: No, the family's arrival in the Holy Land was nothing like what they had imagined. But even still, it was a dream fulfilled and there was hope, which they had lost in Tunisia. HEN: I think that it was somewhere in between having both this deep connection to Israel and going there because they wanted to, and also knowing that there's no future in Tunisia. And the truth is that even–and I'm sure people that are listening to us, that are strong Zionists and love Israel, if you tell them ‘OK, so move tomorrow,' no matter how much you love Israel, it's a very difficult decision to make.  Unless it's not really a decision. And I think for them, it wasn't really a decision. And they went through so much, they knew, OK, we have to leave and I think for the first time having a country, having Israel was the hope that they had for centuries to go back home, finally realized. MANYA: Valensi's family did stay a while longer. When Tunisia declared independence in 1956, her father, a ceramicist, designed tiles for the residence of President Habib Bourguiba. Those good relations did not last.  Valensi studied history in France, married an engineer, and returned to Tunisia. But after being there for five years, it became clear that Jews were not treated equally and they returned to France in 1965. LUCETTE: I did not plan to emigrate. And then it became more and more obvious that some people were more equal than others [laugh]. And so there was this nationalist mood where responsibilities were given to Muslims rather than Jews and I felt more and more segregated.  And so, my husband was an engineer from a good engineering school. Again, I mean, he worked for another engineer, who was a Muslim. We knew he would never reach the same position. His father was a lawyer. And in the tribunal, he had to use Arabic. And so all these things accumulated, and we were displaced. MANYA: Valensi said Jewish emigration from Tunisia accelerated at two more mileposts. Even after Tunisia declared independence, France maintained a presence and a naval base in the port city of Bizerte, a strategic port on the Mediterranean for the French who were fighting with Algeria.  In 1961, Tunisian forces blockaded the naval base and warned France to stay out of its airspace. What became known as the Bizerte Crisis lasted for three days. LUCETTE: There were critical times, like what we call “La Crise de Bizerte.” Bizerte is a port to the west of Tunis that used to be a military port and when independence was negotiated with France, the French kept this port, where they could keep an army, and Bourguiba decided that he wanted this port back. And there was a war, a conflict, between Tunisia and France in ‘61.  And that crisis was one moment when Jews thought: if there is no French presence to protect us, then anything could happen. You had the movement of emigration.  Of course, much later, ‘67, the unrest in the Middle East, and what happened there provoked a kind of panic, and there were movements against the Jews in Tunis – violence and destruction of shops, etc. So they emigrated again. Now you have only a few hundred Jews left. MANYA: Valensi's first husband died at an early age. Her second husband, Abraham Udovitch, is the former chair of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. Together, they researched and published a book about the Jewish communities in the Tunisian island of Djerba. The couple now splits their time between Paris and Princeton. But Valensi returns to Tunisia every year. It's still home. LUCETTE: When I go, strange thing, I feel at home. I mean, I feel I belong. My Arabic comes back. The words that I thought I had forgotten come back. They welcome you. I mean, if you go, you say you come from America, they're going to ask you questions. Are you Jewish? Did you go to Israel? I mean, these kind of very brutal questions, right away. They're going there. The taxi driver won't hesitate to ask you: Are you Jewish? But at the same time, they're very welcoming. So, I have no trouble. MANYA: Hen, on the other hand, has never been to the land of his ancestors. He holds on to his grandparents' trauma. And fear.  HEN: Tunisia just still feels a bit unsafe to me. Just as recent as a couple of months ago, there was a terror attack. So it's something that's still occurring.  MANYA: Just last year, a member of the Tunisian National Guard opened fire on worshippers outside El Ghriba Synagogue where a large gathering of Jewish pilgrims were celebrating the festival of Lag BaOmer. The synagogue is located on the Tunisian island of Djerba where Valensi and her husband did research for their book. Earlier this year, a mob attacked an abandoned synagogue in the southern city of Sfax, setting fire to the building's courtyard. Numbering over 100,000 Jews on the eve of Israel's Independence in 1948, the Tunisian Jewish community is now estimated to be less than 1,000.  There has been limited contact over the years between Tunisia and Israel. Some Israeli tourists, mostly of Tunisian origin, annually visit the El Ghriba synagogue in Djerba. But the government has largely been hostile to the Jewish state.  In the wake of the October 7 attack, the Tunisian parliament began debate on a law that would criminalize any normalization of ties with Israel. Still, Hen would like to go just once to see where his grandparents lived. Walked. Cooked. Prayed.  But to him it's just geography, an arbitrary place on a map. The memories, the music, the recipes, the traditions. It's no longer in Tunisia. It's elsewhere now – in the only country that preserved it. HEN: The Jewish Tunisian culture, the only place that it's been maintained is in Israel. That's why it's still alive. Like in Tunisia, it's not really celebrated. It's not something that they keep as much as they keep here.  Like if you want to go to a proper Mimouna, you would probably need to go to Israel, not to North Africa, although that's where it started. And the same with the Middle Eastern Jewish cuisine. The only place in the world, where be it Tunisian Jews and Iraqi Jews, or Yemenite Jews, still develop their recipes, is in Israel.  Israel is home, and this is where we still celebrate our culture and our cuisine and our identity is still something that I can engage with here.  I always feel like I am living the dreams of my grandparents, and I know that my grandmother is looking from above and I know how proud she is that we have a country, that we have a place to be safe at.  And that everything I do today is to protect my people, to protect the Jewish people, and making sure that next time when a country, when an empire, when a power would turn on Jews we'll have a place to go to and be safe. MANYA: Tunisian Jews are just one of the many Jewish communities who, in the last century, left Arab countries to forge new lives for themselves and future generations.  Join us next week as we share another untold story of The Forgotten Exodus. Many thanks to Hen for sharing his story. You can read more in his memoir The Wrong Kind of Jew: A Mizrahi Manifesto. Too many times during my reporting, I encountered children and grandchildren who didn't have the answers to my questions because they'd never asked. That's why one of the goals of this project is to encourage you to ask those questions. Find your stories. Atara Lakritz is our producer. T.K. Broderick is our sound engineer. Special thanks to Jon Schweitzer, Nicole Mazur, Sean Savage, and Madeleine Stern, and so many of our colleagues, too many to name really, for making this series possible.  You can subscribe to The Forgotten Exodus on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts, and you can learn more at AJC.org/theforgottenexodus.  The views and opinions of our guests don't necessarily reflect the positions of AJC.  You can reach us at theforgottenexodus@ajc.org.
