April 19, 2003: A Tale of Two Resisters
This space was initially conceived to provide a forum for writers and thinkers who concern themselves with German-Jewish dialog. We wish to provide a voice for Germans who are involved with Jewish affairs, and those in the Jewish community who care about recognizing t'shuvah when and where it occurs. The results of the Dreyfus Conference held at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio have convinced us that we should expand beyond these parameters to include all communities where voices speak "past" one another. If you are interested in Tikkun Olam, repairing the world, and have something to say along these lines, please see our submission guidelines and then query us. Please note that Common Ground was temporarily discontinued in 2003 due to a great deal of illness in our family. We will resume (or actually officially begin) publication in February 2009. However, we are accepting queries effectively immediately. We invite personal essays from serious scholars in every discipline for this part of our work. As soon as eight to ten essays have been received and approved for publication, we will release the first volume. Each new volume will follow as appropriate essays come in. For an idea of what we deem appropriate material, see the two essays above: A Tale of Two Resisters and Yes to No. Please, please expand far beyond the scope of those essays, and write in your own voice. We have one primary, hard-and-fast rule: Nothing that overtly proselytizes or claims superiority of one religion or philosophy of life over another. This project is about finding common ground between faiths, philosophies, peoples, points of view. We wish to encourage people to believe in the future, to find historical or current-day examples of successful conflict resolution and peace negotiations. Once we begin to explore the victories of the past, we can better envision a hopeful tomorrow. Suggestions (and use these suggestions merely as a brainstorming tool): Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts; active racial reconciliation in the US; victim-offender programs; cultural diplomacy; work to bring atonement in Japan, China, and Korea; post-apartheid South Africa; and, the staple that got this project going, German-Jewish programs, whether between Germany and the American Jewish community, or Germany and Israel. |
