Bet Debora - Jewish Women's Perspectives

Women’s Zionism Worldwide 1897-1948

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 22:05:00 GMT

Why did Zionist women decide to found their own organizations? And how did and do these organisations differ from the male dominated Zionist movement? Is there a

specific women’s Zionism? Answers to these questions and many more aspects of the contribution of women to the Zionist movement and particularly to the development of the Land of Israel in the pre-state period can be found in the book “Women’s Zionism Worldwide” (Berghahn Books, 2025) edited by the Israeli historian Mira Katzburg-Yungman.

Dieser Podcast ist die Aufzeichnung einer Buchpräsentation im Alten Rathaus in Wien. Dabei sprach Norli Lappin-Eppel mit Elisabeth Eschwé über deren Buch „Heimat im Exil. Eine Wiener Zeitzeugin erzählt“.

Als ausgebildete Konzertpianistin begleitet sie das Gespräch auf dem Klavier mit Musik jüdischer Komponisten, die Zeitgenossen Erikas waren und ihr Verfolgungsschicksal teilten.

In this episode Professor Andrea Peto from CEU talks with Rachel Korazim, who collected the poems from digital platforms, and Krisztina Politzer Maymon, the co-editor and translator of the Hungarian edition, about how poetry reflects and transcends imposed political divisions and how translations can build bridges over destruction.

On Learning and Liberty – A Conversation with Rachel Elior

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:37:44 GMT

In her book “The Unknown History of Jewish Women Through the Ages: On Learning and Illiteracy: On Slavery and Liberty”, which came out in English this year by de Gruyter.

In her conversation with Dóra Pataricza Rachel, Rachel Elior shows the devastating effects of the traditional Jewish prohibition of women learning to read. Depriving women of education meant a tremendous loss of creativity for the Jews. Keeping women illiterate was a means for Jewish men to subjugate them, for women it meant a form of slavery. First attempts to overcome this subjugation were made only at the end of the 19th century. Some women still did not achieve full equality, to this day in certain orthodox Jewish communities women are prohibited to get an education.

A Hidden Treasure: The Brundibar Festival of Newcastle upon Tyne, England'

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 12:15:24 GMT

In 2017, I, Rabbi Barbara Borts, read a note about some concerts being held in my city of Newcastle upon Tyne, with music by composers who were considered 'entarte', 'degenerate', music banned by the Nazis as too modern, too corrupting, too Jewish. I had heard some of the compositions here and there, as they began to be reclaimed and performed, and I went along to the first one. I wasentranced. The music was special, intriguing, lovely, different, and it was exciting to have this music as an aspect of the commemoration of Holocaust Memorial Day.

The inspired figure behind this programme was Sasha Raikhlina, a gifted violinist with the Northern Sinfornia Orchestra. She assembled a team, and thus was established the annual Brundibar Festival. I am here discussing this project with Sasha herself.
