A fascinating glimpse into the world of the coffeehouse and its role in shaping modern Jewish culture
Unlike the synagogue, the house of study, the community center, or the Jewish deli, the caf? is rarely considered a Jewish space. Yet, coffeehouses profoundly influenced the creation of modern Jewish culture from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. With roots stemming from the Ottoman Empire, the coffeehouse and its drinks gained increasing popularity in Europe. The “otherness,” and the mix of the national and transnational characteristics of the coffeehouse perhaps explains why many of these caf?s were owned by Jews, why Jews became their most devoted habitu?s, and how caf?s acquired associations with Jewishness.
Examining the convergence of caf?s, their urban milieu, and Jewish creativity, Shachar M. Pinsker argues that caf?s anchored a silk road of modern Jewish culture. He uncovers a network of interconnected caf?s that were central to the modern Jewish experience in a time of migration and urbanization, from Odessa, Warsaw, Vienna, and Berlin to New York City and Tel Aviv. A Rich Brew explores the Jewish culture created in these social spaces, drawing on a vivid collection of newspaper articles, memoirs, archival documents, photographs, caricatures, and artwork, as well as stories, novels, and poems in many languages set in caf?s. Pinsker shows how Jewish modernity was born in the caf?, nourished, and sent out into the world by way of print, politics, literature, art, and theater. What was experienced and created in the space of the coffeehouse touched thousands who read, saw, and imbibed a modern culture that redefined what it meant to be a Jew in the world.

Описание: Reminiscent of the early work of Jhumpa Lahiri, Ayelet Tsabari s award-winning debut collection of stories is global in scope yet intimate in feel, beautifully written, and emotionally powerful. From Israel to India to Canada, Tsabari s indelible characters grapple with love, violence, faith, the slipperiness of identity, and the challenges of balancing old traditions with modern times.
These eleven spellbinding stories often focus on Israel s Mizrahi Jews, featuring mothers and children, soldiers and bohemians, lovers and best friends, all searching for their place in the world. In Tikkun, a man crosses paths with his free-spirited ex-girlfriend now a married Orthodox Jew and minutes later barely escapes tragedy. In Brit Milah, a mother travels from Israel to visit her daughter in Canada and is stunned by her grandson s upbringing. A young medic in the Israeli army bends the rules to potentially dangerous consequence in Casualties. After her mom passes away, a teenage girl comes to live with her aunt outside Tel Aviv and has her first experience with unrequited love in Say It Again, Say Something Else. And in the moving title story, two estranged sisters one whose marriage is ending, the other whose relationship is just beginning try to recapture the close bond they had as kids.
Absorbing, tender, and sharply observed, "The Best Place on Earth" infuses moments of sorrow with small moments of grace: a boy composes poetry in a bomb shelter, an old photo helps a girl make sense of her mother s rootless past. Tsabari s voice is gentle yet wise, illuminating the burdens of history, the strength of the heart, and our universal desire to belong.
Praise for "The Best Place on Earth"
There s remarkable scope in Ayelet Tsabari s "The Best Place on Earth, " which interweaves stories of discrimination, loss, displacement, sex, death, religion, and a host of other issues. And yet, despite the range of viewpoints and the different facets of Israeli society explored, this is a collection that always stays intensely personal, the broader forces of history moving not merely across nations but within the souls of her beautifully conceived characters. Phil Klay, National Book Award winning author of "Redeployment"
With incredible compassion and a delicate touch, Ayelet Tsabari explores the heartbreak inherent in forming bonds, whether with another person or with a whole country. "The Best Place on Earth, " a complicated love song to Israel, is a sure-footed and stunningly skillful debut. Shelly Oria, author of "New York 1, Tel Aviv 0"
Powerful . . . brilliant . . . These stories . . . depict minorities so skillfully, with such a light and accurate touch. "The Daily Beast"
Highly recommended . . . Compelling and compassionate; Tsabari s stories] speak out from the heart of Israeli society and experiences. . . . The stories of "The Best Place on Earth" leave you wishing they wouldn t end. "The Times of Israel
"
This short story collection is a fiction debut for Tsabari, but it demonstrates that she is already a talented storyteller. . . . Her writing has an immediacy and power that invites readers into her characters psyches. . . . Tsabari s characters will step off the page to captivate readers. " Publishers Weekly""
