An agnostic, Rubinstein was proud of his Jewish heritage. He was a great friend of Israel, which he visited several times with his wife and children, giving concerts with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, recitals, and master classes at the Jerusalem Music Centre. In 1949, Rubinstein—who lost family members in the Holocaust—along with other prominent musicians (including Horowitz and Heifetz) announced that he would not appear with the Chicago Symphony if it engaged the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, who had remained in Germany during the war and who had performed a symphony for Hitler's birthday.

From the Wikipedia page of Arthur Rubinstein, the Polish-American pianist widely considered to be one of the greatest interpreters of Chopin of all time. I am listening to Arthur Rubinstein perform Chopin’s mazurkas right now. Rubinstein was deeply attached to Poland, once performing the Polish national anthem to great acclaim after being angry that a Polish delegation had not been invited.

"The notion of Palestine being Arab emerges, really, only in the 60s. because... what did Israelis do? the colonial era is over; the Ottoman Empire is gone, finally the British are gone, and the Jewish people finally, having outlived all these empires, going back to the Roman Empire, finally restore their sovereignty. What do they do? they do what every self-respecting people in history did when the colonial people were gone- they call the country by their name, right? so Siam becomes Thailand, and the Gold Coast becomes Ghana, and Palestine becomes Israel because Palestine was the colonial name and Israel is the original, indigenous name.

Once the Jews call the land Israel... in order to present the Jews as foreign, [...] thieves, interlopers, Arabs began to hijack the name Palestine, to say, actually we are Palestine, whereas previously everyone understood it was Jews. and I love it, because sometimes you see on the internet, oh look Palestine existed, and they show, like, the Palestine football team and if you look closely all the names are like [...] all Jewish [...] because this was the Jewish football team of the Jewish state in the making, and the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra was the orchestra of Jewish exiles that became the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. So, this is a classis [...] hijacking of the Arabs of something that was very Jewish, in order to present the Jews as thieves, rather than the original owners."

One of the biggest and lesser known stories of Nov 29 is that the lands allocated to a Jewish state (two color map) were essentially those the Zionists reclaimed from malaria through land purchase, science and education (blue map). Moreover, the sudden and extremely rapid increase of the Arab population in the 1920’s and 1930’s in this barely populated backwater region (this was the highest population increase rate in the world in 1931/2) was only in part due to immigration spurred by Zionist development of the land. The major share of the massive Arab population increase was thanks to Malaria eradication, which was the work of the Galician born famed microbiologist and ardent Zionist Dr. Israel Kligler (credit to the great historical work of Anton Alexander). With this knowledge it remains even a greater tragedy that the now much more numerous Arabs of the land directed their efforts towards brutally fighting Zionism rather than choosing to live side by side with an emerging Jewish state. In the shadow of the Oct 7 massacre we mark once more the Nov 29 moment when the Jews said yes to the UNGA plan of partition (having prioritized having a state, even if tiny and mostly desert and lands reclaimed from malaria and no Zion and no Judea) and the Arabs said no and proceeded to wage a brutal war to the present day (having prioritized - still - the goal of the Jews not having a state at all and of any size).

(Note on map titles: for twenty centuries, before a campaign of denial was underway, it was well understood that the name “Palestine” merely denoted the geographic region where the Land of Israel was and was therefore deeply associated with Jews and the their continuous connection to the land. Hence the League of Nation in establishing the mandate recognized the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine" as the "grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country” and which is why the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra of Jewish musicians became the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra…)

Read More: Good News From Israel

As 2023 comes to an end, I unashamedly write this introduction with much emotion. There are now definite signs that Israel is winning the war against Hamas in Gaza. It cannot fail, thanks to a winning team of supporters in Israel and across the globe who, like the many thousands of readers of this newsletter, have been donating time, money, skills, accommodation, essential supplies, and more, to help the IDF fight against those wishing to destroy the Jewish State and civilization as a whole.

The remaining 50% of this week's newsletter celebrates winning teams of Israelis: - developing medical innovations, therapies, and performing life-saving surgery. - two award-winning scientists, - winning the battle against bacteria, radiation, and environment-unfriendly gases - increasing revenues in Israel's top 5 companies

It's also good to see: - a winning Israeli gymnast auctioning off his gold medal to help war victims - global IT companies, such as Intel, supporting the winning side - record numbers making Aliyah from France, even during a war.

And what a way to end the year - with a new winning team of translators from Syracuse, New York who have translated my last newsletter issue into French, Spanish and Hebrew to add to the translation by my loyal German translator.  We hope for more winning news in 2024.

The photo (TY Aubrey) is of a Hebrew sign that translates as "We will win in Gaza".  The sign can also be translated as "We will win with God's help".  Amen.

Charles Dean Dixon (January 10, 1915 – November 3, 1976) was a conductor. He studied conducting at the Juilliard School and Columbia. When early pursuits of conducting engagements were stifled because of racial bias, he formed his orchestra and choral society. He guest-conducted the NBC Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic during its summer season. He guest-conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra and Boston Symphony Orchestra. He won the Ditson Conductor's Award. He left the US for the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. He was the principal conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony in Sweden, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in Australia, and the hr-Sinfonieorchester in Frankfurt. During his time in Europe, he guest-conducted with the WDR Sinfonieorchester in Cologne and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks in Munich. He made several recordings with the Prague Symphony Orchestra for Bärenreiter, including works of Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schumann, Wagner, and Weber. For Westminster Records, his recordings included symphonies and incidental music for Rosamunde by Schubert, symphonic poems of Liszt, and symphonies of Schumann. He recorded several American works for the American Recording Society in Vienna. Some of his WDR broadcast recordings were issued on Bertelsmann and other labels. He introduced the works of many American composers, such as William Grant Still, to European audiences. During the 1968 Olympic Games, he conducted the Mexican National Symphony Orchestra. He returned to the US for guest-conducting engagements with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, and San Francisco Symphony. He served as the conductor of the Brooklyn Philharmonic, where he gained fame for his children's concerts. He conducted most of the major symphony orchestras in Africa, Israel, and South America. His last appearance in the US was conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra in April 1975. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CnO8yZGrMgs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Break out composer: 菅野よう子 (Yoko Kanno) performed by members of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra

this song was used during the YF-19 test flight in the movie and 1st OVA episode, as well as during the YF-19 and YF-17 fight in the 2nd OVA episode. Even though it’s fast-paced, it gradually gains your attention. The Orchestra got a good take; at the end of the song they all shouted “Bravo!”. Imagine their voices at the end.

[villa-lobos]

From the Museu Villa-Lobos photo archive, this notice of a concert in Paris on April 23, 1952. Anna Stella Schic plays the 2nd Piano Concerto, & Villa-Lobos conducts. Also with Bachianas Brasileiras no. 7. the symphonic poem Erosion and Choros no. 6. A very fine programme!

Later that year, in June, Villa conducted the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in a concert in Tel Aviv that also included the 2nd Concerto and Choros no. 6. I’m not sure if Schic was along on that tour; she was a very close friend of Heitor & Mindinha.

'Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde: III. Von der Jugend' by Leonard Bernstein, René Kollo

For his audio-visual recordings of both Das Lied von der Erde and the songs from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, Leonard Bernstein turned to the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, an ensemble with which he had a decades-long relationship. For this live recording made at the Frederick Mann Auditorium in Tel Aviv of Mahler’s 1908 work – a part symphony, part song cycle setting fin-de-siècle German translations of Chinese poetry – the conductor is joined with two of the greatest singers of the time: tenor René Kollo and mezzo-soprano Christa Ludwig, who features in the final song of the work, “Der Abschied” – a heartbreaking farewell that lasts as long as all five other movements put together.

LA Jewish survivors of shooting fear anti-Semitism

As the Israel-Hamas conflict intensifies, Los Angeles' Jewish community faces increased fears of anti-Semitic violence. This fear is not new, as some survivors of such incidents recall the 1999 attack in Granada Hills. The attack resulted in the death of one person and injuries to four children. The incident left survivors feeling raw and reliving past experiences of being targeted for their Jewish identity. The conflict between Israel and Hamas has been tumultuous for decades, but on October 7th, Hamas terrorists broke through the barrier at the border between Israel and Gaza, launching an unprecedented attack. Gunmen killed civilians in the street and kidnapped hostages, sometimes parading them in the streets. The fear of anti-Semitic violence is deeply affecting many.
