Kaum eine Debatte wird im Moment so erhitzt geführt wie der Nahostkonflikt. Der Hamas-Angriff und die israelische Reaktion vereinnahmen auch die deutsche Politik und Kulturszene. Entweder werden Veranstaltungen gestört oder gleich ganz abgesagt. Die Fronten verhärten sich. Heute erscheint ein Buch, das der Entzweiung etwas entgegen setzen möchte: Der Sammelband "Trotzdem sprechen". Unsere Kritikerin Corinne Orlowski hat es gelesen.

How's it growing folks?! Welcome back to Here Weed Go! As any of my long-time listeners know, I'm endlessly curious about how cannabis is treated, regulated and used in different jurisdictions and markets. What's legal, acceptable and cool in one place, might not exactly be in another. In today's episode, I'm taking a deep toke on one of the world's great agricultural producers: Colombia! Once known primarily for its association with cocaine and the illicit drug trade, the country has made a concerted effort since the late 90s to rehabilitate its image for the world. Now, the country is an agricultural powerhouse, exporting bananas, cut flowers and other commodities to all corners of the globe. To help me get a better understanding of how cannabis is doing in one of South America's fastest growing marketplaces, I spoke with Auz Zadoff, the CEO and co-founder of Cannexp Consulting Group. Zadoff explains how Cannexp has helped non-psychoactive cannabis (or what we in the United States call hemp) producers, farmers and growers get their product in front of international consumers, from Europe, Australia, and as of recently, the US! Zadoff and I also discuss what makes Colombia such a great place to produce cannabis and why producers within the country have been forced to look elsewhere to make money off the cash crop. We also touch on the politics surrounding psychoactive cannabis, or marijuana as we know it, in Colombia and how this year could be the year it becomes federally legal Our conversation starts off with Zadoff explaining how he got into cannabis consulting and why he helped found Cannexp.

Noam Zadoff begins his biography of Gershon Scholem, one of the 20th century’s greatest scholars and an equally perplexing intellectual, at the point where Scholem ends his own autobiography From Berlin to Jerusalem: Memories of My Youth—with his arrival in Jerusalem in 1923. Gershom Scholem: From Berlin to Jerusalem and Back (Brandeis University Press, 2018) situates Scholem’s thought in the context of his biography, by skillfully reading Scholem’s self-fashioning against the grain and together with materials held in his archive. With particular focus on his conflicted and shifting relationship to Germany and German thought and language, Zadoff contributes to the ever-growing scholarship about Scholem. Zadoff moves beyond Scholem’s early ambivalence towards German culture as he sought a Jewish future in Israel during the inter-war years. Despite his early rejection of Jewish-German assimilation and his idiosyncratic Zionist dreams, we find that not only was his world-view framed in reference to Germany—of his youth, the Holocaust, and the after-war years—but this relationship becomes a barometer to understand his evolving thought. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which focuses on Scholem’s early period in Jerusalem, his political activities there, relationship to the Hebrew Language, and to the Hebrew University. The next section is about Scholem’s response to the Holocaust and his pivotal role in collecting and reclaiming manuscripts and books that were looted from the Jewish communities of Europe. The last, and perhaps most revealing section, focuses on Scholem’s “return to Germany,” during the last part of his life, particularly his involvement in the Eranos seminars. Zadoff begins the book by asking how the images of Scholem in Israel and Germany could be of the same person, at home he was known as a fiery intellectual, demanding German teacher, and scholar of the kabbalah, while in Germany he was a literary personality and a nostalgic link to German culture of the pre-War years. At its conclusion, we are left with a well argued narrative that does not strip its subject of its complexity.

The next section is about Scholem’s response to the Holocaust and his pivotal role in collecting and reclaiming manuscripts and books that were looted from the Jewish communities of Europe. The last, and perhaps most revealing section, focuses on Scholem’s “return to Germany,” during the last part of his life, particularly his involvement in the Eranos seminars. Zadoff begins the book by asking how the images of Scholem in Israel and Germany could be of the same person, at home he was known as a fiery intellectual, demanding German teacher, and scholar of the kabbalah, while in Germany he was a literary personality and a nostalgic link to German culture of the pre-War years. At its conclusion, we are left with a well argued narrative that does not strip its subject of its complexity. Noam Zadoff is an Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies and of History, and the Director of Olamot Center at Indiana University, Bloomington. Moses Lapin is a graduate student in the departments of History and Philosophy at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and an avid lepidopterist. Learn more about your ad choices.
