It chronicles Frieden's early years in Eastern Europe, his subsequent migration to the United States, and, finally, his settlement in Palestine in 1921. The memoir appears here translated from its original Hebrew, edited and annotated by Frieden's grandson, the historian Lee Shai Weissbach. Frieden's story provides a window onto Jewish life in an era that saw the encroachment of modern ideas into a traditional society, great streams of migration, and the project of Jewish nation building in Palestine. The memoir follows Frieden's student life in the yeshivas of Eastern Europe, the practices of peddlers in the American South, and the complexities of British policy in Palestine between the two World Wars. This first-hand account calls attention to some often ignored aspects of the modern Jewish experience and provides invaluable insight into the history of the time.Stanford studies in Jewish history and culture.JewsLithuaniaBiographyJews, LithuanianUnited StatesBiographyJews, LithuanianIsraelBiographyZionistsIsraelBiographyJewsJews, LithuanianJews, LithuanianZionists320.54095694092BFrieden Menachem Mendel1878-1963.1559887Weissbach Lee Shai1947-1485467MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786121103321A Jewish life on three continents3825437UNINA02885nam 22005654a 450 991078283790332120230721005251.01-282-48519-997866124851901-60473-334-9(CKB)1000000000721961(EBL)515604(OCoLC)317404608(SSID)ssj0000191439(PQKBManifestationID)11183603(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000191439(PQKBWorkID)10183719(PQKB)10546081(StDuBDS)EDZ0000206367(MiAaPQ)EBC515604(Au-PeEL)EBL515604(CaPaEBR)ebr10282573(EXLCZ)99100000000072196120080130d2008 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrLet's make some noise[electronic resource] axé and the African roots of Brazilian popular music /Clarence Bernard HenryJackson University Press of Mississippic20081 online resource (247 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-60473-082-X Includes bibliographical references (p. 211-226) and index.Sacred/secular influences: the reinvention of West African àsé in Brazil -- From the sacred to the secular: popularizing candomblé rhythms -- Axé embodiment in Brazilian popular music: sacred themes, imagery, and symbols -- The sacred/secular popularity of drums and drummers -- Secular impulses: dancing to the beats of different drummers -- Say it loud!

Àsé is imagined as power and creative energy bestowed upon human beings by ancestral spirits acting as guardians. In Brazil, the West African Yoruba concept of àsé is known as axé and has been reinvented, transmitted, and nurtured in Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion that is practiced in Salvador, Bahia.
