Torah Portion

THIS WEEK'S TORAH PORTION

In this Torah portion, Jacob favors Joseph, and this angers Joseph's brothers. Joseph has dreams in which he predicts reigning over his brothers, provoking them further. They decide to sell Joseph into slavery in Egypt. Tamar disguises herself as a prostitute and sleeps with her father-in-law, Judah. In Egypt, the wife of Joseph's owner tries to seduce Joseph, and when he rejects her, she accuses him of trying to rape her and has him sent to prison. In prison, Pharaoh's baker and butler have dreams, and Joseph interprets them correctly.

Scott Lord Silent Film: The Politician's Love Story (D.W. Griffith, 1909)

scottlordpoet shared this story from Scott Lord shared items on The Old Reader (RSS).


The Politicians Love Story is a brialliant, early example of reverse screen direction, using diagnol framing to depict perspective.
Linda Arvidson, wife of director D.W. Griffith chronicled having known Mack Sennett in her autobiography "When Movies Were Young", " 'The Curtain Pole' and 'The Politicians Love Story' started the grumbling young Mack Sennett on the road to fame and fortune. Like the grouchy poker player who kicks himself into financial recuperation,Mack Sennett grouched himself into success." Silent Film D.W. GriffithD Biograph Film Company

Scott Lord Silent Film: Knight of the Trail (Ince, 1915)

scottlordpoet shared this story from Scott Lord on Silent Film Hollywood, Lost Silent Film, Swedish Silent Film, Danish Silent Film.

Frank Borzage stars with director William S. Hart and actress Leona Hutten, in the two reeler "Knight of Trail". Borzage shortly thereafter went on to direct silent film for The Triangle Film Corporation and although copies of the 1918 film "The Gun Woman" still exist, the remaining seven films directed by Borazge during 1918, "Innocents Pogress", "The Shoes That Danced", "Society For Sale", "An Honest Man", "Who Is To Blame", "The Ghost Flower" and "The Atom" (five reels) are presumed to be lost films, with no surviving copies existing, as are the remaining two silent films Frank Borzage directed for the Triangle Film Corporation during 1919, "Tonton the Apache" and "Prudence on Broadway" (five reels).

The Little Girl Thought I Was Santa Claus

Donna was at her desk in the library and I went to bring bring her back a coffee. A little girl was crawling underneath one of the tables and playing when she pointed toward me and waved. Well, I thought it was a merely friendly child just waving so I continued on to get coffee and may have quickly half-waved back while spinning through the congregating congregation. Her father, whom I know fairly well was laughing and said "You're Santa Claus". I was busy so politely fended it off apologizing for the snow white beard by saying that I've been sleeping less but would soon look like my old self. After bringing back the coffee, I got through part of an noncredit online college course on the Talmud in between services, which might not be what I'm interested in most and there were Holidays that include Sacred Ritual that I hadn't gotten to- but I needed something new after skipping taking courses during Covid-19 and it gave me the term "omnisignficance" in Rabbinic literature. The lectures were introductory and weren't from anyone that would be attending our service in this part of the country, but those can be made available sometime later and will cover the Torah. After her working in the library, we attended the church service and I got to say hello to our minister before he began the sermon. This is the third minister I've listened to but during that time there have been two, if not three, backup regular ministers, so Ican compare the present minister to others that may have included more personal ancedotes or more instant cross references of scripture to scripture- in general I might prefer his point of departure. Then there was Christmas music, a contemporary Christian "almost rock" band,arently guests from Boston College, the Voices of Imani Gospel Choir, that we had seen before in a different form with less brass instruments. I couldn't find the actual concert on You Tube, but as I mentioned they seemed to be quest musicians. After we got home, I realized that the little girl was waving because she really thought I was Santa Claus. I thought I might make an exception and add a song to the blog. Happy Holidays together as a fellowship and in your personal relationship to God, or covenant with God.

This time our plant found the little “love” pillow.

I honestly had to dust the television after coming home from church, but please look and the previous entry to see how its grown- it found the little "love" pillow Donna's grandmother had given her - after sprawling across the floor, over a plastic storage bin and up the side of the tv stand for over five feet, most likely seven; it has sixty five leaves across for two of its ten "vines", most likely one hundread leaves, more likely over one hundread and ten or one hundread and twenty.
