ESSENTIEL, les rendez-vous du jeudi – Annette Wieviorka Elle reçoit Judith Lindenberg pour le livre "Le Dibbouk. Fantôme du monde disparu de Samuel Blumenfeld" au MAHJ Actes Sud. À propos du livre : « Le Dibbouk. Fantôme du monde disparu de Samuel Blumenfeld » paru aux éditions Actes Sud Succès fulgurant dès 1920, immédiatement traduite, la pièce est jouée de Varsovie à Buenos Aires, en passant par Moscou, Paris et New York. OEuvre emblématique du théâtre yiddish et du premier théâtre hébreu, elle inspire metteurs en scène et artistes de l'avant-garde juive. Adaptée au cinéma en 1937, elle donnera le plus ambitieux des fims yiddish et l'un des derniers tournés avant l'invasion de la Pologne. Après la Shoah, Le Dibbouk opère encore comme oeuvre emblématique de la fécondité du Yiddishland et comme métaphore du monde disparu. On le retrouve à la scène, à l'écran, en littérature, ainsi que dans les oeuvres des artistes contemporains. Objet majeur de la culture juive, le dibbouk est une clef de compréhension d'une identité hantée par son passé. Né en 1963, Samuel Blumenfeld est critique de cinéma au quotidien «Le Monde» depuis 1997 et grand reporter au «Monde 2». Il est également l'auteur de «L'Homme qui voulait être prince. Les vies imaginaires de Michal Waszynski »(Grasset, 2006) et d'un roman, «Au nom de la loi», avec comme personnage Steve McQueen (Grasset, 2013). Il est aussi un spécialiste du cinéma américain et a publié un livre d'entretiens avec Brian de Palma, «Brian De Palma. Entretien avec Samuel Blumenfeld et Laurent Vachaud» (Calmann-Lévy, 2001). «Le Dibbouk. Esprits, errance et possession »paraît en 2024. Pascale Samuel est conservatrice du patrimoine et responsable des collections moderne et contemporaine du musée d'art et d'histoire du Judaïsme.

ESSENTIEL, le rendez-vous culture, présenté par Sandrine Sebbane. Elle reçoit Ken Krimstein auteur américain pour « vivre » aux Éditions Christian bourgeois. Traduction Léo Elbé. À propos du livre : « vivre ». paru aux éditions Christian bourgeois Effrontée, déterminée, passionnée, inventive et transgressive: telle est la jeunesse intemporelle qui se dessine en Europe de l'Est d'avant-guerre, juste avant d'être tragiquement brisée par la Shoah. Vivre nous révèle les confidences de six adolescents, qui ont écrit leurs autobiographies pour un concours d'écriture en yiddish organisé dans les années trente. Perdues dans le tumulte de l'Histoire et récemment retrouvées dans le sous[1]sol d'une église à Vilnius, ces archives ont ému l'auteur Ken Krimstein, qui en a réalisé une adaptation graphique. Ces témoignages du passé s'animent sous la plume tendre et le trait vif de l'auteur, qui compose ainsi un remarquable travail de mémoire et un hommage vibrant à la jeunesse du Yiddishland. Ces récits drôles, poignants et spontanés recomposent la richesse et la diversité d'un monde anéanti par la barbarie nazie.

Det här samtalet var den andra delen av vår senaste Krakelkväll där vi djupdök i en mestadels bortglömd del av vänsterns historia, nämligen den judiska. I 1900-talets Europa var judiska militanter talrika, drivande och tonsättande i alla delar av den socialistiska arbetarrörelsen - ett faktum som närmast har suddats ut av den liberala historieskrivningen. Således raderas minnet av dessa människor, av deras övertygelser, kamper och liv - varigenom vi även förlorar förståelsen för såväl socialismens som fascismens kontexter och drivkrafter i 1900-talets Europa. I den dominerande historieskrivningen visas de europeiska judarna upp som stumma offer, deras kroppar och öden blir en projektionsyta för västmakternas hjältesaga om sig själva. Det här samtalet handlar om partisanerna, bundisterna och kommunisterna, de judiska revolutionärer som kämpade med livet som insats för en värld fri från förtryck i en tid då horisonten öppnade sig mot oändligheten för att sedan slutas i andra världskrigets nattsvarta mörker. De har så mycket att lära oss om vad ett liv för kampen betyder, och om våra kamper idag: vilka metoder och organisationsformer bör vi ha? Hur ska man hantera spänningen mellan socialismens universalistiska ideal och specifika gruppers partikulära intressen och behov? Vilken roll spelar utopin för vår vilja och förmåga att kämpa?Antikapitalistisk podd om kroppen, språket, kulturen och politiken. Vi experimenterar, observerar och pratar.

Le festival francilien Jazz'n'klezmer fête ses 20 ans avec ses 3 mots-clés : yiddish, klezmer et jazz. Les Marx Sisters et Boogie Balagan, à l'affiche 2022, interpréteront 2 titres dans la #SessionLive et Laurence Haziza, directrice artistique présentera 2 groupes à l'affiche : Jowee Omicil & Randy Kerber et Yemen Blues.  Qui sont les Marx Sisters ? Marx est leur vrai nom. On a beau jeter un œil du côté de Groucho, Chico ou Harpo, rien n'y fait, ce sont bien des sœurs et elles chantent en yiddish. Marx Sisters est un groupe français de musique juive ashkénaze venant du Yiddishland d'Europe Centrale, mais interprète également un répertoire des chansons de comédies musicales de compositeurs juifs des États-Unis. Le groupe a été fondé par Mano Siri en 2012. Le groupe perpétue le répertoire yiddish et klezmer dans ce qu'il a de festif et d'universel. Le groupe débute en duo familial : Mano Siri accompagne sa fille Leah Marx à la guitare avec l'idée de perpétuer un répertoire ashkénaze traditionnel. Le duo devient quatuor lorsque les deux autres filles de Mano Siri, Judith Marx et Milena Marx décident de s'y joindre. Le groupe s'étend à deux musiciens du cercle des connaissances : Raphaël Setty et Benjamin Chabert. Le groupe forme un quintet, soutenu ponctuellement dans certaines prestations par des musiciens invités. Arum dem Fayer est le 2ème album des Marx Sisters dédié à la maman Mano Siri, aujourd'hui disparue.   - Voir le clip « Oy mame bin ikh farlibt »  Titres interprétés par les Marx Sisters au grand studio Hulyet hulyet kinderlekh Live RFI A glezele yash Live RFI Line Up : Judith Marx : voix, Leah Marx : voix, Benjamin Chabert : voix contrebasse, Raphaël Setty : voix accordéon.

durée : 00:32:12 - Talmudiques - par : Marc-Alain Ouaknin - . En plein cour de Varsovie il existe une forêt de plus de 33 hectares. Non pas un jardin, non pas un parc mais une forêt. * Une forêt impressionnante, parcourue de stèles et de sculptures, et de monuments gravés d'inscriptions en plusieurs langues, hébreu, yiddish, polonais, et parfois ornées de motifs sculptés : des livres, de mains tendues en un geste de bénédiction, des couronnes, des animaux, des arbres, des fleurs. Parfois l'arbre est cassé et la tige de la fleur, brisée.  Nous sommes parmi les 200 000 pierres tombales du cimetière juif de Varsovie, le deuxième plus grand cimetière de Pologne après celui de Lodz et il s'y lit « l'histoire d'amour et de ténèbres » des juifs d'Europe de l'est et du Yiddishland, ce « monde englouti ». Au bout d'une des allées de cette « maison de vie », bet hahayyim, étonnant nom du cimetière en hébreu, s'élève un mausolée qui accueille les sépultures de trois grands écrivains : Shalom Anski, Yaakov Dinezon et Yitzhok-Leybush Peretz. Mais ce monument imposant, réalisé en 1925 par le sculpteur Abraham Ostrzeg, est nommé « le sanctuaire de Peretz », comme cela se lit en toutes lettres en hébreu sur la coupole qui le couronne : « Ohel Peretz », ohèl, un mot qui nomme couramment les mausolées des grands maîtres. Ainsi par exemple se rend-on sur le Ohel du Baal Chem tov . Pourquoi un sanctuaire Peretz ? Qui est donc Yitzhok-Leybush Peretz ? Quelle ouvre a-t-il offert au monde ? Et de quels échos résonnent-elle toujours, depuis cette forêt de mémoire au cour de Varsovie ?

On lui doit entre  autres les traductions de deux pièces majeures de I.L. Peretz : La  chaîne d'or et La nuit sur le vieux marché, des Contes de Rabi Nachman,  du Dibbouk de S.

Il a inspiré plusieurs générations d'écrivains avant la Première  Guerre mondiale et entre les deux guerres, en puisant dans les richesses  de la culture juive traditionnelle pour créer une littérature moderne.  Son ouvre foisonnante comprend de la poésie, du théâtre, des nouvelles,  des histoires, des reportages et des mémoires.

À propos du livre : "Le petit peintre de Belleville" Paru aux éditions Le Manuscrit Artiste-peintre reconnu, François Szulman évoque ici son enfance dans le « Yiddishland » parisien. Né en 1931, François grandit dans le milieu modeste des émigrés juifs polonais ayant fui la misère et l'intolérance. Soutenu par un voisin peintre, il développe un don pour le dessin. Lorsque la guerre éclate, son père, Szlama, s'engage dans la Légion étrangère. Blessé au combat, il est fait prisonnier dans un Stalag et se garde de se déclarer juif. Dans Paris à l'heure allemande, François brille à l'école et dessine tout ce qu'il observe. Au rythme des rafles, les quartiers juifs se dépeuplent. Protégés par le statut de prisonnier de guerre de Szlama, François et sa mère échappent à la rafle du Vél' d'Hiv'. En février 1943, Szlama est libéré. La famille Szulman entre alors dans la clandestinité. François quitte son école et ne porte plus l'étoile jaune. Il dessine toute la journée. Dans leur planque de la rue Sainte-Marthe, sa mère malade s'éteint faute de soins. François et son père survivront grâce à la solidarité des résistants juifs qu'ils hébergent. Témoin de la libération de Paris, François la relate avec précision. Du métro Jaurès aux barricades de Belleville jusqu'à la Place de la République, il évite les tireurs embusqués et participe à la liesse de la victoire. Après la guerre, malgré les vicissitudes, il poursuivra avec succès sa carrière artistique.

À propos du livre : «Yidisher Humor» paru aux éditions Eyrolles David Kurc , Jacqueline Kurc RIRE, SOURIRE, MÉDITER Ce recueil de vitsn, ou histoires drôles, invite le lecteur à un voyage à travers le temps et l'espace, du Yiddishland englouti d'autrefois au monde juif d'aujourd'hui. L'originalité de cet ouvrage réside dans un agencement thématique des histoires, introduites par un texte explicatif et retranscrites en yiddish, translittéré et français. On y retrouve la richesse du patrimoine culturel et folklorique juif. Certaines histoires ont valeur de fables et à l'instar des proverbes yiddish, elles expriment une sagesse ancestrale. Et l'humour n'est-il pas aussi un moyen de transmettre ?

In Bad Rabbi And Other Strange But True Stories from the Yiddish Press (Stanford University Press, 2017), Eddy Portnoy, Academic Advisor and Exhibitions Curator at the YIVO Institute for Yiddish Research, delves into the archives of the Yiddish press to reveal the passionate and tumultuous world of Yiddish cultures in New York and Warsaw in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Portnoy describes this world as Yiddishland, a nation in which all the high and low expressions of culture not only occurred but were carefully and colorfully relayed by Yiddish journalists, including the young Isaac Bashevis Singer and his older brother, Israel Joshua Singer. A treasure for both researchers and general readership, Bad Rabbi brings to life the passionate, chaotic, and sometimes violent communal life of the Yiddish-speaking urban world that flourished prior to World War II on both sides of the Atlantic, and that was documented by some of Yiddish culture's keenest eyes and finest writers.
