Where would mine - and our - collective Yiddishkeit brain be w.out Dr. Mordechai Kedar?! I cringe to even think! And we are so very blessed to have such great expert and scholar amongst us! Dr. Kedar’s speeches are ALL a must watch!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✡️✡️✡️✡️💕💕💕💕💕💯💯💯👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
The introduction is too long. The clip should start at 5:35 (IMHO). Thank you, Dr.Kedar, for your extensive scholarship/deep understanding/brilliant clarity/great efforts/sharp wit.
Actually the talk starts at 9:25 min. And it sheds light on the creation of Israel and its current day prospects. I was at the talk and I wrote this in response www,askabigailproductions.com/is peace possible today
A great talk, per Dr. Kedar's usual. But some points: I feel that Dr. Kedar overexaggerates the identification of Jews with their native lands. That sense of living and flourishing may have been true in pre-Nazi Germany and other Western European countries, but in Eastern Europe pre-World War I, Jews lived at the tender mercies of the mercurial local gentry and priesthood. Even post-WW1, the difference in the small communities between Jewish and non-Jewish standards of behavior was so striking as not to present any sort of attraction for Jews. I cannot speak to the self-perception of Jews under Arab control, but I imagine it was much the same -- a society in which Jews were considered second-class citizens, albeit with some protections, but always potentially under threat of individual or mob violence. Also, IMO he underexaggerates the unity which Jews felt for each other, even spread across multiple communities, lands and continents. This sense of unity may have been coopted by the Zionist movement in support of its goals, but it certainly found expression long before Zionism. It's also a little troublesome to me how Dr. Kedar almost completely ignores the pioneering contributions of the old yishuv.
He is so insightful and so patriotic. I am so glad that Israel has succeeded. It is such a blessing.
