『the
Easy Yummy ISRAELI Recipe Booklet 』 presented
by our Information Section
“You either make Hummus with love or you don’t make it at all”, and indeed – Hummus might seem
simple, but it really needs a lot of care and attention.
＜What is Israel cuisine?＞
In its
core, Israeli cuisine is fusion cuisine.
Jews
Coming from all over the world (Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and even
India!) brought their cuisine with them to Israel, where it was fused with
local Jews and Arab cuisines.
Israeli
food is characterized by its freshness and the heavy use of vegetables and
fruits (Israel is vegetarian heaven). Olive oil is also a key ingredient of
Israeli cuisine. So, on top of being yummy- it’s also healthy!
＜What’s in the booklet?＞
We’ve
gathered a few relatively simple recipes for you to try at home and share with
family and friends. Some of the ingredients might be a bit harder to find in
Japan, but the fun thing is – you can mix it up and make it your own (fusion
cuisine – remember?).
Enjoy and
Bete’ Avon! (Hebrew for Bon Appetit).
If you would like to get those pamphlet ( " Jazz ", " recipe" ) , please let us know your name and postal address by e-mail ( contact at the end of the newsletter ) .

Born in Tel Aviv in 1983, began
playing guitar at age 10. This young prodigy was soon invited to perform with
many of the nation’s top jazz musicians. By the age of 21, Silberstein has won
the coveted “Israeli Jazz Player of The Year” title. Soon after, he performed
at Italy’s renowned Umbria Jazz Festival, released a critically acclaimed debut
album and set out on an extensive tour of Europe and the Middle East. Upon
receiving a scholarship to the prestigious New School, Yotam Silberstein moved
to New York in 2005. Praise continued to pour in as a finalist in the 2005
Thelonious Monk International Jazz Guitar Competition with one critic noting,
“Yotam’s tones are exquisitely old school but his playing fresh, fiery and
bursting with joyful exuberance, and musically he is one heavy cat.” Jazz Times
noted, “Since his arrival in New York in 2005, Israeli guitarist Yotam
Silberstein has made an impact on the scene with his precision bebop lines and
fleet fingered improvisation. All About Jazz summed up his 2009 release, “Next
Page” as “unadorned hollow-body guitar work freely invites comparison to
releases from the heyday of Blue Note Records. He isn’t piggy backing on
memories. He’s forging his own path with skills and style.”

２．Camila
Meza & Shai Maestro
Shai Maestro became completely familiar among Japanese jazz fans recently. Keith Jarrett also praised his beautifully delicate and strong bold touch with exotic arrangement.
This time Shai will perform with Chile born of vocal and guitarist Camila Meza as a first Duo Tour in Japan.
Camila
Meza, originally from Santiago, Chile, has garnered rapt attention from her
colleagues, the press, and audiences in South America, New York City, and
internationally, for her distinctive ability in blending jazz with her broad
musical world (that includes Latin American, Brazilian, folk and pop), and for
the emotional depth of her music. This rising star on the global jazz scene has
been described by The New York Times as, "a bright young singer and
guitarist with an ear for music of both folkloric and pop intention," and
called, "a natural multi-talent, an improvising singer-guitarist who is
one of the finest in the world in both creative realms," by pianist Aaron
Goldberg.

Avishai
Cohen (b)
Born and
raised in Israel, Avishai Cohen has often combined Middle Eastern and Israeli
music with both electric and acoustic jazz. Cohen began studying the piano at
age 11 and was 14 when he became interested in jazz. After playing piano in a
high-school jazz band, Cohen switched to the electric bass and soon fell in
love with the music of Jaco Pastorius. Cohen was 16 when he enrolled in the
Music & Arts High School in Jerusalem, and as a young adult, he played a
few local gigs in Jerusalem before being drafted into the Israeli army. When
Cohen's two years in the military ended, he was able to concentrate on jazz
once again and decided to try the acoustic bass, which became his main
instrument for much of the 1990s. In 1992, Cohen moved to New York without
having any real connections there, and ended up paying the rent doing moving
and construction work. But after making some connections in the New York jazz
scene, Cohen went on to play live gigs with such notables as Ravi Coltrane,
Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Paquito D'Rivera, Roy Hargrove, and Leon
Parker. One of his most fruitful associations was with Panamanian pianist
Danilo Perez, who employed him on his 1996 session, Panamonk. After coming to
the attention of Chick Corea and his longtime business partner, Ron Moss, Cohen
was signed to their Stretch label and recorded his first album, Adama, in 1997.
The following year, Corea hired Cohen to play in his newly created acoustic
outfit, Origin. Colors was released in mid-2000, followed by a string of
recordings for the RazDaz label. In recent years, Cohen has moved back to
Israel. (Artist Biography by Alex Henderson) http://avishaicohen.com/
４．TMSO celebrating 80 years birthday of Eliahu Inbal and 25 years of

Fenice, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, Orchestra of the Konzerthaus

chief conductor.” (Part one of the

8. The 2nd
GAGA workshop & Creation workshop
Gaga
is the movement language developed by Ohad Naharin throughout his work as a
choreographer and Artistic Director of Batsheva Dance Company.
Gaga
has two tracks: Gaga/dancers, which is the daily training of Batsheva Dance
Company members, now taught also for other dancers in Israel and abroad; and
Gaga/people, open to the public and available for anyone, without the necessity
of previous experience. Gaga classes are held for a growing number of people in
the Suzanne Dellal Centre and at additional places in the country and abroad.
Gaga
is an experience of freedom and pleasure. The work improves instinctive
movement and connects conscious and unconscious movement, and it allows for an
experience of freedom and pleasure in a simple way, in a pleasant space, in
comfortable clothes, accompanied by music, each person with himself and others.
“We
explore multi-dimensional movement, we enjoy the burning sensation in our
muscles, we are aware of our explosive power and sometimes we use it. We change
our movement habits by finding new ones, we can be calm and alert at once. We
become available . . ." - Ohad Nahari

９. New book
『Sapiens - A Brief History of Humankind 』 by Yuval Noah Harari Kawadeshobo-shinsha publishing house,
translated Hiroyuki Shibata, 1900 yen (without tax)
New York Times Bestseller
"I
would recommend this book to anyone interested in a fun, engaging look at early
human history…you’ll have a hard time putting it down."--Bill Gates
"Thank God someone finally wrote [this] exact
book."--Sebastian Junger
Ho
mo sapiens rules the world
because it is the only animal that can believe in things that exist purely in
its own imagination, such as gods, states, money and human rights.
Starting from this provocative idea, Sapiens goes on to retell the history of our
species from a completely fresh perspective. It explains that money is the most
pluralistic system of mutual trust ever devised; that capitalism is the most
successful religion ever invented; that the treatment of animals in modern
agriculture is probably the worst crime in history; and that even though we are
far more powerful than our ancient ancestors, we aren’t much happier.
By combining profound insights with a remarkably
vivid language, Sapiens has
already acquired almost cultic status among diverse audiences, captivating
teenagers as well as university professors, animal rights activists alongside
government ministers. It is currently being translated into close to thirty
languages.
Yuval Noah Harari
He was born in Haifa, Israel, in 1976. He received his Ph.D.
from the University of Oxford in 2002, and is now a lecturer at the Department
of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He specialized in World History,
