		<description><![CDATA[A Tribute To F.K.’s Final Hour Cocooned like a soon-to-be-butterfly beneath the heavy quilt of his bed, he witnessed through a half-closed eye the large chocolate-armored metallic cockroach making its way across the rough wooden floor to an abysmal dark crack in the side of the wall. A faint smile flickered transiently across the bookkeeper’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sam had been living in Jerusalem for nearly thirty years, so he could no longer tell how different life was there from other places. He didn&#8217;t think of Jerusalem as a single city but as fragmented into a thousand micro-societies, like one of those mirrored spheres they hang over dance floors. Circles of friends overlapped [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Piyyut are hymns added to the older liturgy that developed during the Talmudic era and up to the seventh century. The word is derived from the Greek term for poetry, perhaps more directly from ποιητής. The author of a piyyuṭ is called "payyeṭan," a Neo-Hebrew form derived from "piyyuṭ." In midrashic literature the word "piyyuṭ" is used merely in the general sense of "fiction" (Gen. R. lxxxv.; Yalḳ., Dan. 1063), while "payyeṭan" is used in the technical sense of an author of synagogal poetry. R. Eleazar, son of Simon b. Yoḥai, was called a student of the Bible and the Mishnah, a payyeṭan, and a preacher (Lev. R. xxx.; Pesiḳ. 179a, ed. Buber; Zunz, "G. V." p. 380; idem, "S. P." p. 60).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the past decade a new wave of Israeli graphic artists has emerged, whose works address a range of issues (urban alienation, suicide, the appearance of new subcultures, class fissures, and the unrelenting violence between Israelis and Palestinians, among others). Among these developments, Eli Eshed and Uri Fink’s Hagolem: Sipuro shel comics Israeli (The Golem: The Story of an Israeli Comic) and Ilana Zeffren’s Sipur varod (Pink Story) have produced of the most accomplished and innovative graphic novels.
While one graphic novel focuses on a mythical superhero and the other on a young lesbian artist, they share a strong commitment to interrogating important Israeli historic and cultural events as well as myths, while shining their light on neglected identities and issues.

		<description><![CDATA[Modern Hebrew literature (1743-1904), in distinction to that form of Neo-Hebraic literature known as rabbinical literature (see Literature, Hebrew), which is distinctly religious in character, presents itself under a twofold aspect: (1) humanistic, relating to the emancipation of the language by a return to the classical models of the Bible, leading to the subsequent development of modern Hebrew; (2) humanitarian, dealing with the secularization of the language with a view to the religious and social emancipation of the Jews of the ghetto. These two tendencies are expressed by the word Haskalah, a term denoting the movement which predominated in Hebrew literature from the second half of the eighteenth century down to the death of Smolenskin in 1885.
