Resume : Two dimensional (2D) phenomena in complex oxides heterointerfaces attract attention of scientific community during the last ten years due to their multitudinous functionalities and promising applications. The progress in this field has been mostly due to the substantial improvments of the deposition techniques such as pulse laser deposition (PLD) and atomic layer-by-layer (ALL) oxide molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Compared with PLD, the MBE method has several extraordinary advantages: (i) the lowest energy of impinging atoms - providing less intermixing at the interface of different oxides; (ii) a possibility to control the sequences of deposition species and stoichiometry with high precision - providing engineering of interfaces via changing sequence and a stoichiometry of the interface layers; and (iii) in-situ monitoring reflection high energy diffraction (RHEED) - providing a primary feedback for control of the quality of the films growth. All together, all these distinctive features allow to achieve a precise stoichiometry and deposition control to synthesis high quality oxide films and different heterostructures, as well as to understand the dynamics of the deposition process itself, what is crucial for the chemistry and physics of the oxide interfaces. In my talk I focus only on high temperature superconducting (HTSC) interfaces in different complex oxide heterostructures. First I present ALL oxide MBE method, then different heterostructures with 2D HTSC interfaces and their characterizations by using different experimental methods including mutual inductance, electrical resistance measurements, scanning transmission electron microscopy etc. In conclusions I present implications of these finding on future work. The full i Rabbi Robert N. Levine, DD, led Congregation Rodeph Sholom for three decades, its tenth Senior Rabbi from 1991 to 2021. An inspiring teacher, speaker, counselor, and frequent guest of local and national media, he has been beloved by congregants and community alike. Rabbi Levine was ordained at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in 1977 and received his Doctor of Divinity Degree in March 2002. He is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Columbia College. Rabbi Levine is the author of three books. What God Can Do For You Now: For Seekers Who Want to Believe; Where Are You When I Need You? Befriending God When Life Hurts; and There Is No Messiah and You’re It: The Stunning Transformation of Judaism’s Most Provocative Idea. Especially active in communal affairs, he is a past President of the New York Board of Rabbis, as well as having served as Vice-President and Chairman of its Interfaith Committee. He was Chair of the Catholic-Jewish Dialogue with the Archdiocese of New York, the publications committee of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, and is a member of the Commission of Religious Leaders of New York City, the American Jewish Committee, and Synergy/UJA Federation. He served on the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Clergy Advocacy Board and the Muslim Jewish Advisory Council. Among his many awards are the New York Board of Rabbis’ Maria and Joel Finkle Prize for Rabbi of the Year; the International Humanitarian Award by the World Union for Progressive Judaism alongside Ehud Barak, former Prime Minister of Israel; the Westy Award from the West Side Spirit; the Champion of Choice from NARAL; the All Stars Project Bridge Building Award for Leadership in Community Relations; and he was inducted into the Manhattan Jewish Hall of Fame in 2020 by the Manhattan Jewish Historical Initiative. Rabbi Levine and his wife Gina are blessed with three children, their spouses, and grandchildren.

Introduction
Writings about music in Israel illuminate a wide range of topics, often exploring the politics of social identities: nationalism, folklorism, Orientalism, ethnicity, multiculturalism, East-West cultural borrowings and appropriations, representation, religion, and gender. Complementing the Oxford Bibliographies articles on “Jewish Music” and “Jews and Music” (by Edwin Seroussi and Judah Cohen, respectively, both of which focus mostly on ethnomusicological research into ethnic, liturgical, and popular musics in the Diaspora), this bibliography focuses primarily on Western art music by Israeli composers, yet it also examines selected writings on ethnic and popular musics that inform it. Most of the approximately forty notable immigrant composers who fled fascist Europe to British Palestine during the 1930s and 1940s—the founders of Israeli art music—aspired both to create local music and to continue their original styles from their native countries, mostly Germany, Russia, and Poland, or those they studied in France and elsewhere. As participants in the evolving Hebraic and Zionist culture, they believed that they should partake in the creation of a native, Hebrew musical style, informed by local Jewish ethnic sources that had arrived in Israel from the Mizraḥi Jewish Diaspora, often from Yemen, Iraq, or Morocco, or from those of the Palestinian Arabs. This ideology was passionately disseminated, argued, contested, and ultimately stamped as narrowly nationalistic. Beyond general and themed overviews, as well as reference works and other research tools, this bibliography focuses on the writings by and about the founders. It emphasizes those founders whose works were most widely performed and discussed, namely the Israeli Five: Paul Ben-Haim (b. 1897–d. 1984), Alexander Uriah Boskovich (b. 1907–d. 1964), Oedoen P Israeli song "BaShana HaBa'a" (Hebrew: בשנה הבאה, "Next Year") is a 1970 Israeli song with music by Nurit Hirsch and lyrics by Ehud Manor. The song was first performed by the duo Ilan & Ilanit. The song was written by Ehud Manor in memory of his younger brother Yehuda Weiner, who was killed during his military service in 1968. The song describes Manor's dream to spend more time with his late brother. Manor asked Nurit Hirsch to orchestrate his lyrics, at the request of Shlomo Zach, the manager of the singer Ilanit. Hirsch composed the song with a melodic and melancholic tune, in a 6/8 rhythm. Zach believed that the song did not suit Ilanit's career at that point, and he requested both Hirsch and Manor to create a version that was joyful and filled with hope. Hirsch adjusted the melody accordingly, changing the rhythm to 4/4. In parallel, Manor made changes to the lyrics. Originally, Manor concluded the song with the words: "Anafa levana tifrosh ba'or knafayim, vehashemesh tis'ka b'tochan" - "A white heron will spread its wings in the light, and the sun will set within it"; a description of the reality seen from the balcony of his home, facing the Carmel shoulder to the west. At the request of Hirsch, Manor chose the alternative and optimistic wording, "Hashemesh tizrach b'tochan" - "The sun will rise within it." The song was first performed by the duo Ilan & Ilanit and had many versions over the years by different singer including Rinat Gabay, Gitit Shoval and Ron Druyan, Uzi Hitman, Gali Atari and Hani Nahmias, Yaffa Yarkoni, Dalia Cohen, Hovi Star, Israel Gurion, Sarai Tzuriel, Shiri Maimon and Ido Maimon. The song became popular among Jewish communities in the world. In 2020, the Jewish A Capella group the Maccabeats released a cover for the song.Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme featuri BaShana HaBa'a
