Menorat ha-Maor, Isaac Aboab [Yemen]: Scribe: Sa’adya ben Shalom ben Sa’adya ben Joseph ben Shlomo Al-Kati-‘i, 5476 (1716)
Menorat ha-Ma'or was one of the most popular works of religious edification among the Jews of the Middle Ages. Written "for the ignorant and the learned, the foolish and the wise, the young and the old, for men and for women," the work has had over 70 editions and printings and has been translated into Spanish, Ladino, Yiddish, and German. The book became a handbook for preachers and served for public reading in synagogues when no preacher was available. The author Isaac Aboab divided his work into seven nerot (lamps), expanding on the idea of the seven-branched Menorah of the title.
The text of this manuscript agrees with the printed editions of this work, but the scribe has added many important and valuable glosses in which he quotes the Jerusalem Talmud, Rashi, the Tosafists, Maimonides, Nathan ben Yehiel of Rome, Solomon ibn Adret, Simon of Frankfurt, Asher ben Yehiel, Yehuda he-Hasid, Solomon Luria and others.

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have partnered with Karmiel-based company RD Pack to develop an innovative “disinfection tunnel,” a new solution which they say could enable large crowds to gather safely during the coronavirus crisis.
The walk-through tunnel sprays a patented tap water-based, environmentally-friendly disinfectant developed at Bar-Ilan University using electrochemical technology, which has been proven to powerfully eliminate bacteria and viruses, including microbes from the coronavirus family.
Designed to safely disinfect hundreds or thousands of individuals gathering daily at locations including stadiums, hospitals and schools, the tunnel is equipped with an automated aerosol spray system, which quickly disinfects individuals, clothes and potentially contaminated belongings.
The system will be tested at the VIP entrance to Jaffa’s Bloomfield Stadium, home to soccer teams Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Bnei Yehuda, until the end of the current season. Prior to entering the disinfection tunnel, all attendees must have their temperature checked and wear a mask.
“This disinfectant substance is extremely effective, 100 times more so than a regular disinfectant, and the advantage is that the substance is also unstable,” said Dr. Izaak Cohen, who developed and patented the disinfectant with Dr. Eran Avraham and Prof. Doron Aurbach of Bar-Ilan University’s Department of Chemistry and Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials. “Due to the substance being unstable, it is more friendly to the environment. Other disinfectants are more stable and remain on you, and can cause all sorts of burns. The more stable they are, the less friendly they are to both you and the environment.”
Tumblr media
RD Pack, specialists in the development and construction of automated industrial machines, has acquired the technology for the water-based disinfection process and is currently applying it in so-called disinfection tunnels and other automated solutions, including the disinfection of rooms and other spaces.
The company is currently working toward receiving approval from the Health Ministry to deploy the solution nationwide after recently showcasing the technology to Health Ministry deputy director-general Prof. Itamar Grotto.
“The objective is to create an active process that does not interfere with daily routine,” said RD Pack director of Business Development Eran Druker. “People think that coronavirus is over, but it is still with us. As people are no longer proactive in disinfection and cleaning, we are creating the opportunity for disinfection and breaking the chain of infection.
”While soccer matches at Bloomfield Stadium and games across Israeli professional sports will continue without the presence of spectators for this season at least, representatives from Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality remain eager to collaborate and test possible solutions that could protect crowds in the future.
“We see ourselves as a beta site for advanced technologies that may enable us, during this long interim period, to live with the coronavirus,” said Maor Binyamini, CEO of municipal company Sport Palaces of Tel Aviv Yafo, responsible for Bloomfield Stadium, Menora Mivtachim Arena and Shlomo Group Arena. “We offer a platform to almost every technology which could maybe assist during this period – to try out the technology, to test it and see whether it is suitable. Our target is to return the crowds and routine as soon as possible. The crowds are thirsty for these places and many individuals earn their livelihoods from them.”

Yeh Ballet is a film inspired by the true story of two boys from humble backgrounds in Mumbai who triumph over their circumstances and make their way to a prestigious international ballet school. The story is about Nishu (played by Manish Chauhan) and Asif (played by Achintya Bose), their fiercest rivals who become friends and hip-hop rebels. Based on the real life of a young dancer from Mumbai, it is a fictionalized version of her journey to master a form of dance that is not accepted by her peers.
Manish Chauhan plays a fictionalized version of himself called Nishu, who brings a refreshing dash of reality to the film. Debutant Achintya Bose has a background in contemporary jazz dance and plays a role based on Amiruddin, called Asif.
Yeh Ballet, now streaming on Netflix, is based on the true story of Manish Chauhan's Amiruddin Shah, who was discovered in Mumbai by his ballet guru Yehuda Maor at the age of 15 and 21. The youngster was eventually selected by a ballet school in America and is now pursuing his dream in dance. Director Sooni Taraporevala, who made a documentary about the two in 2017, has written her own version of Yeh Ballet 2020 to refine the back stories and apply religious, social and political filters to the dance drama. Writer-director Soonia Tar extends Chauhan's original story and the story of the relationship between the young Shah and Maor.
The film, directed by Kartik Vijay, follows the pace of the underdog story, starring Mumbai boys Amiruddin and Shah. Based on Yeh Ballet (streaming on Netflix), based on the real life story of Mumbai boy Amiruluddin Shah and his relationship with Maor.
The film shows Nishu, his fiercest competitor and friend, and Maor, a young girl from the same school as Amiruluddin. The story of two Mumbai boys from humble backgrounds who triumph over circumstances to reach the top of their respective sports inspired a fictionalized version in a short documentary called "The Same."
Tess Joseph, who was Sooni's collaborator in "The Namesake," cast relatively unknown faces in the film, such as the subservient Jim Sarbh as the owner of a dance academy. After discovering that Nishu and Asif are the same age as his best friend Amiruluddin, his life takes a dramatic turn. With this, the two boys break out of their respective schools and into the world of dance and the dance world in general.
There are no fewer than six debutants in the film, but the one who shines the most is certainly Nishu, the youngest of the two boys and the only one with a dancing background.
Separating truth from fiction is a difficult task for any filmmaker, but writer and director Sooni Taraporevala expands the themes of love, friendship and the meaning of family and friendship in the world of dance. With a story rooted in reality and a strong focus on the human condition, Sooni wraps up a dramatic punch line with his unique blend of humor and drama.
Directed by Sooni Taraporevala, Yeh Ballet is a dance film based on consistent writing and technical solidity. The film, directed by Kartik Vijay, follows the rhythm of an underdog story in which Mumbai boys Amiruddin and Shah argue about their love for each other. Based on the real-life story of the Mumbai Boys Club and her relationship with her best friend Yash, it will be streamed on Netflix.

via Today Bharat nbsp; nbsp; Unlike Delhi, where power and pedigree are frequently asserted, Mumbairsquo;s wealthy have their high-rise homes overlooking slums where some of the cityrsquo;s poorest live. As the opening aerial shot of Yeh Ballet shows, prosperity and poverty are long standing neighbours in Mumbai. Itrsquo;s a daily humbling reminder of the immense privilege of having an attached bathroom. Yeh Ballet, now streaming on Netflix, is based on the true story of Manish Chauhan and Amiruddin Shah, who were discovered by their Israeli ballet teacher Yehuda Maor. Both youngsters ended up being selected by ballet schools in America and are now pursuing their dreams in the dance form. Director Sooni Taraporevala who made a documentary on the two of them in 2017, writes a feature film version of her documentary, fleshing out the backstories and applying religious, social and political filters to this dance drama. Nishu (Manish Chauhan playing a fictionalised version of himself) and Asif (Achintya Bose playing Amir) are residents of two separate chawls along Mumbairsquo;s coast. Their fathers are a taxi driver (Vijay Maurya) and welder (Danish Husain) respectively while Nishursquo;s mother (Kalyanee Mulay) stitches clothes to supplement the family income. Nishu is passionate about dance and is first seen participating in a dance reality show while Asif is happy just dancing with his buddies in an open area outside Worli koliwada. Interestingly, the film opens with a song that has the lyrics, Mumbai ka king kaun (who is the king of Mumbai), a definite hat tip to Bhikhu Mhatre and cult classic film Satya where a man from the slums rises to become a powerful man in Mumbai. The two meet when Asifrsquo;s older brother, who delivers pizzas to the dance academy, finds him a spot, while Nishu is spotted by a manager at the dance school and given a fee discount in lieu of his talent. Itrsquo;s not entirely impossible, especially in a city like Mumbai where opportunity is more democratic, but still itrsquo;s the first amongst the many situations where Sooni eases obstacles for her protagonists, never really allowing them to hit rock bottom before turning on the light at the end of the tunnel. Nishu is seen cleaning bathrooms, and Asif loses a friend before gaining perspective, but these moments of struggle flit by too quickly. So when Asif tells his friend that he has taken to ballet like a chewing gum that gets firmly stuck in hair, you find it hard to feel his passion. It also doesnrsquo;t help that ballet is still a fairly alien dance form to Indians. The film Gully Boy which told a similar story of a boy from Dharavi chose rap and hip hop, a music form that seemed organically connected to the protagonistrsquo;s emotional state. Yeh Ballet never really explains to us why these two boys are so drawn to ballet as a dance form. Especially considering Nishu canrsquo;t even pronounce ballet when he first joins. Is it the discipline it demands, is it the elegance of the movements? Is it the fact that not too many men choose it? You never feel the exhilaration of an lsquo;Apna time ayegarsquo; because Sooni never tries to find any threads to tie an Indian social setup to a dance form thatrsquo;s not only western but also perceived as elitist and feminine. Which is perhaps the elephant in the room that never gets addressed. The problem is not just that making a living through dance is difficult or that itrsquo;s lsquo;haraamrsquo;. Dance, especially ballet, is still not considered a respectable lsquo;masculinersquo; choice for a man to pursue. The fact that these boys have chosen a dance form that for years has been perceived as a feminine dance form, is never addressed at all. Instead, Sooni gives them both girlfriends (of sorts) as if to clarify that ballet does not equal to being gay. There are a couple of wonderful moments that stay with you. Asif dancing while standing in line for water, Nishu practising while washing his clothes, and the two boys ganging up against their teacher, but the moments are far and few in between. There is no denying that both the lead actors are very talented dancers, especially Manish who is trained in ballet. His poise and grace are commendable while Achintya who has trained in other dance styles and learnt ballet for the film is also a joy to watch. While there are multiple supporting characters, Sooni doesnrsquo;t not flesh out any of these roles beyond the basic requirements of the slum to success template. Disapproving parents, rich kind hearted girl, sassy talented poor girl and intolerant trouble makers are the types these characters are slotted into. Also that line about not throwing away a god-given talent was just too uncomfortably similar to Ranveer Singhrsquo;s dialogue from Gully Boy, whose dialogue writer Vijay Maurya has also written the Hindi dialogues of Yeh Ballet. To me the weakest link of the film was Julian Sands as the cantankerous but well-meaning teacher Saul. Sooni canrsquo;t resist going down the heavily-flogged white man clueless in the third world country path. Julian, who is an experienced actor, seems lost on where to pitch his character. Perhaps his discomfort at living in Mumbai is supposed to tie in the struggles of his proteges but these parallels are never fleshed out. I couldnrsquo;t help but wonder why we never see the teacher dance. Sands just watches his students dance, or berates them from time to time, but never stops to demonstrate a single ballet pose. Any performing artist draws heavily from his or her guru or teacher/ mentor and itrsquo;s a relationship thatrsquo;s especially revered in India. Apart from showing his students some videos and making them practice long hours, I just couldnrsquo;t understand why he forced the boys to live with him when he never gave them an insight into his vast experience through lecture or demonstration. Dance is perhaps the most instinctive art form and most personal too. Something within you forces you to move your body arms and legs to express the feeling you canrsquo;t quite contain within anymore. Sometimes any step will do and sometimes you are trained to express yourself better and better with technical precision. Either way, itrsquo;s you and your body telling a story about what moved you to dance. While this movie has a lot of wonderful dancing, it didnrsquo;t move me at all. nbsp; nbsp;

From Vashi to New York: A 15-Year-Old Boy’s Ballet Dreams Are About to Come True
A premier classical ballet company in New York has accepted Amir to be part of its pre-professional school, making him among the few Indian male ballet dancers to reach this level.
Swan Lake, Cinderella, Romeo and Juliet… apart from being famous stories, these are also fables that have been the narrative of some of the most sought-after ballet recitals, globally.
An art form whose origins could be traced back to the Italian Renaissance courts of the fifteenth century, classical ballet has made inroads to almost every country, mesmerising the audiences with elegant pirouettes (the famous one-foot spinning movement), perfect synchronisation and an accompaniment of soulful music.
Strangely, ballet hasn’t quite seen the light of day in India despite its cultural amalgamation of diverse art forms.
A 15-year-old boy from Vashi, Navi Mumbai, has been accepted to one of the most prestigious ballet companies in New York and it definitely is a moment of pride for all of us!
Amiruddin Shah or Amir, as he prefers to be called, has been dancing since he was six and had absolutely no clue about ballet.
Till the day his dance teacher realized that the agility and grace with which Amir moved, he could be a step away from becoming a professional ballet dancer and a good one at that!
“Until then, I’d been learning the hip-hop genre of dancing which I’d taken up since 2013,” Amir says.
Yehuda Maor, an American-Israeli dance teacher at The Danceworx performing arts academy, discovered the talent in Amir and has been personally helping mould the prodigy.
