The Accomplices
''The Accomplices'' is a 2007 play by ''New York Times'' reporter Bernard Weinraub. It premiered at The New Group in New York City in 2007 and played thereafter in regional theatres. The play is based on Hillel Kook's (aka Peter Bergson) experiences in the United States during the Holocaust as founder and head of the ''Emergeency Committee for the Rescue of European Jewry'', also referred to as the Bergson Group. The group was dedicated to pressure America to help rescue the abandoned Jews in Europe from the Nazi and other murderers. Kook and the committee's activism were strongly opposed by Reform Rabbi Stephen Samuel Wise, Chairman of the World Jewish Congress, and other mainstream Jewish, Zionist leaders in America. The role of Hillel Kook was played twice onstage by actor Steven Schub (lead singer of The Fenwicks), in 2008 at The Fountain Theatre and in 2009 at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles.

Jewish Theatre
Jewish culture is the culture of the Jewish people, from its formation in ancient times until the current age. Judaism itself is not simply a faith-based religion, but an orthopraxy and ethnoreligion, pertaining to deed, practice, and identity. Jewish culture covers many aspects, including religion and worldviews, literature, media, and cinema, art and architecture, cuisine and traditional dress, attitudes to gender, marriage, family, social customs and lifestyles, music and dance. Some elements of Jewish culture come from within Judaism, others from the interaction of Jews with host populations, and others still from the inner social and cultural dynamics of the community. Before the 18th century, religion dominated virtually all aspects of Jewish life, and infused culture. Since the advent of secularization, wholly secular Jewish culture emerged likewise.

The eastern Arab peoples developed the digit from a form that looked something like 6 to one that looked like an uppercase V. Both modern Arab forms influenced the European form, a two-stroke form cons ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
