Jerusalem Time: A Symposium
Jerusalem Time: A Symposium was a Zoom event conceived and convened by Diana Lipton for Jerusalem Day, 2020, in partnership with Jerusalem Tolerance. Watch 6 inspiring sessions in which an artist, a philosopher, an Imam, a Greek Father, a yeshiva bocher, a film-maker, an urban explorer, a climate change activist, an environmentalist, and scholars of Bible and Talmud think analytically, imaginatively, and deeply about Time in Jerusalem and beyond. Warning: Your alarm clock may never look the same again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time is a complex matter in Jerusalem, a city that’s home to three major world religions, each with at least one calendar of its own, not to mention several different time zones (all in Meah Shearim). And in 2020, Corona Time entered the mix, as one day merged into the next and only their respective Holy Days saved Jerusalemites from losing track of time altogether.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Program
20.00. Clocking In. Dr. Diana Lipton, Teaching Fellow, Department of Biblical Studies, Tel Aviv University, talks to Julian Barnett about time and clocks in Jerusalem’s closed religious sects. Julian teaches History, now at Southbank International School, London and formerly at Jerusalem’s Anglican School; he knows the parts of Jerusalem that others can’t reach.
20.30. Beyn Hazmanim. Professor Moshe Halbertal, Department of Jewish Thought, Hebrew University and NYU Law School, talks to Josh Schonfeld, a graduate of Mir Yeshiva and Yale Law School, now learning at a kollel in Dallas on his way to becoming a tax lawyer, about time as an organizing principle in the life of a yeshiva bocher.
21.00. ‘Sanitation is a Philosophy of Time’. Documentary film-maker Toby Freilich, director of Inventing Our Lives and co-director of Moynihan, talks to Mierle Laderman Ukeles, the ground-breaking artist who spent 40 plus years as Artist in Residence at the New York Sanitation Department, about the role of time in Maintenance Art.
21.30. Short of Time. Dr. Ruth Ostrin, Director of Israel’s Environment and Health Fund, talks to Micha Price, a Jerusalem resident currently researching at Israel’s Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, about the distinctive role of time in the life of a climate activist.
22.00. Time Keepers. Chaim Milikowsky, Professor Emeritus of the Talmud Department, Bar Ilan University and author of a commentary on Seder Olam, a unique rabbinic chronology of biblical events, in conversation with Father Dr. Isidoros Katsos, Visiting Fellow at Hebrew University’s Center for the Study of Christianity and a resident of Jerusalem’s Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, a community constructed around times for prayer.
22.30. On Calendars and on Time. Imam Abdullah Antepli of Duke Divinity School and Duke’s Sanford School of Public Policy, and a frequent visitor to Jerusalem, in conversation with Dr. Raquel Ukeles, Curator of the Islamic Collections, National Library of Israel, about how time is made tangible in Islamic tradition.
23.30 Time’s Up! Olivia Ray sings a setting by Andrew Lovett of Miroslav Holub’s poem, Brief Reflection on Accuracy.

    Remember passing through here in Autumn 2004 on a college trip. At the time I had bit of a phobia of lifts but assuming we had no option but to go in it I went ahead and got in it just as the doors were closing and got separates from the others in the process. After getting out of the lift it turned out most of the others had opted to run up the stairs!

    Why do you claim that the 20FT tall “Egyptian Themed” vault is of completely “UNKNOWN ORIGINS”????? There is an INITIAL CREST ON THE DOOR where the surname initial “C” is most obviously displayed.. It’s WELL KNOWN that this represents the surname COURTNOY - I’m baffled as to why you do not even mention this name or the incredible tales attached to it.....?? THEN - you walk over to the grave of “JOSEPH BONOMI” and talk about his history as an Egyptologist after pointing out the Egyptian theme of the massive vault/monument... However, he is buried 70 FEET AWAY FROM this “Egyptian-Themed” Courtnoy monument BECAUSE HE DESIGNED IT!!!! How do you NOT KNOW this stuff???? Lastly, you go on about an “Egyptian Craze” in the 1800’s and imply that this was the motivation for this tremendous vault... HOWEVER - While standing in front of it’s gorgeous bronze door speaking about it, you fail to show us the DETAILS and SYMBOLISM that were carefully placed all over it (such as the CREST of the deceased’s initials)... In doing so, you also fail to show us the BLACK & WHITE TILES set into the stone masonry at the foot of the steps leading to the doorway.... This tile is ANCIENT occult symbolism - AS IS the symbolism on the bronze door... The EXACT SAME SYMBOLISM can be found throughout The VATICAN as well as EVERY SINGLE FREEMASONIC TEMPLE IN THE WORLD... In fact, you’ll find this tile in ANY structure that was built in the honor/observance of ANCIENT OCCULT BELIEF SYSTEMS (as the Vatican was) such as the “Royal Palace” and an innumerable amount of churches, government buildings, monasteries, libraries, and so on, who proudly display their devotion to the occult while actively denying it exists... One look at this structure and the tiles one must pass in order to enter it, and it’s CLEAR that it was built BY/FOR someone with a deep appreciation of the occult and, most likely, lived a life in service to those beliefs... This “craze” and the implementation of these “Egyptian Themes” has absolutely nothing to do with modern archaeology... The Freemasons were in Egypt as far back as the 1500’s (when they transported an entire obelisk to New York City, where it stands to this day) which is when/where this ancient knowledge was obtained and applied to “Western” society... To claim it all started as a fad once a few pharaoh tombs were discovered is ill-informed to say the least. The MOST “HISTORIC” structures that stand on this earth today (Buildings from the 1700-1800’s) were erected with the very ancient geometry and symbolism found in ancient structures being of paramount importance to the builders... This is all knowledge passed along by the Freemasons... The capital cities and buildings of the USA and ENGLAND ALIKE are flooded with ancient occult symbolism... Washington DC was literally designed by a mason so that the streets would meet to form a perfectly geometric pentagram with the most significant landmarks standing at each point of said pentagram, and this is but one example of many... How about the ancient Egyptian symbolism on US Currency...? The Washington Monument? Westminster Abbey? Downing Street? You think ALL THIS was from the excitement of some dug up tombs in the 1800’s, or perhaps there is an entire global culture built upon these ancient beliefs that make up the very fabric of society’s elite ruling class and control systems from their very inception?? If you’re going to give tours where you’re explaining things of great significance in ways that are of very little significance, perhaps you should consider an alternative career path...? OR - you could honor the dead properly by doing 5 minutes of research prior to literally standing on their graves and speaking on their legacy... You strike me as the type of man who would insist on your legacy being communicated accurately upon your eventual demise, so why not extend the same courtesy to Courtnoy, Bonomi, and any other late soul you speak of so that good karma starts moving in your favor? Cheers!

    What a wonderful and historic walk! On that lovely Egyptian style mausoleum,why wouldn’t you put your name on it? You spent a lot of money on this,why not at least put you Sir name on it? Being a doctor in the early 1800’s,was equal to a barber/butcher. They practiced such primitive medicine then. If you were really ill, the one place you didn’t want to be was in a hospital. It wasn’t until the end of the 19 th century,that they finally had anesthesia,and pain killers. They still didn’t have antibiotics though until right around WW2.

    Visited for the first time in early 2021, to see the place where my favourite writer Virginia Woolf lived and upon arrival was surprised to learn that Ramsay Hall is directly across it, the place where Coldplay, my favourite band met! Its lead singer Chris Martin grew up near Cornwall where Virginia spent her childhood holidays, up to the death of her mother and which would inspire Virginia to write To The Lighthouse featuring the Ramsay family, based on her own
