Clothes of Rabbi Sasson Kadoorie, the Last Chief Rabbi of Iraqi Jewry

These garments belonged to Chief Rabbi Sasson Kadoorie (1880-1971), who held his post from the 1920s until his death. With its multiple robes, this outfit was typical of the attire worn by Iraqi rabbis from the late 19th to the mid-20th century. The first, striped robe is cut in traditional ottoman fashion, the middle one is machine-made, and the upper one was worn by eminent individuals throughout the Middle East. The most distinctive feature of this outfit is the headdress - a fixed turban made of a soft fringed fez surrounded by an embroidered cashmere shawl.

‘The Price’ is such a fantastic episode. Not only is it impressive writing in what it tries to portray about the theme of war but its direction is also second to none. The way they frame it. They have Xena and Gabrielle separated through most of it yet again, but there’s so much significance in that because they’re doing what they do best. They play them to their strengths alone and they only have them interact on their weaknesses until an emotional connection and consciousness breakthrough happens from it. It’s so brilliantly written and directed to illustrate that these characters see the world majorly differently between them when it comes to war, but at the same time, because they do, they’re able to teach each other so much and grow closer for it.

They just do not do character representation this well anymore where they actually involve themes and assign a specific thematic narrative to the characters to make the entire experience of watching them so moving. And when you have characters that are so oppositional from each other but yet work so well together because of it… absolute fucking magic happens when playing to that.

They knew how to use these characters really well. Xena and Gabrielle I mean. They knew exactly what to do with them so that every interaction - which is many in this show - is so full of substance and purpose so that you actually love the episodes much more because of it.

Of course you can separate them in the screen-time they usually share, but you have to have that separation mean something. Through it, you ultimately have to show why and how they have such a profound dynamic because of how much they are their own people in it.

And the creators in this show just fucking NAILED IT. ‘The Price’ is a great example of this. Probably the best actually in terms of what it can show us about how their oppositional worldviews evolve their ever growing love for each other. I mean this episode is the first time that we ever hear Xena ALMOST tell Gabrielle that she loves her and the only reason why she changes her sentence is because she feels guilt in expressing loving feelings for her when she’s just treated her contemptuously not moments beforehand because she’s was so afraid of allowing her softer side (that Gabrielle naturally brings out in her) to show if it meant putting her life in danger.

You can absolutely see the conflict in her heart in those moments because Lucy plays those difficult to watch scenes between them so sternly but cautiously - as if she fears that if she lets her guard down for one second, Gabrielle would pay the price for her inability to hold her stern composure with her when around the men she’s in charge of. But when alone she’d be kicking herself for it because this woman holds power over her no man ever could. Power that instantly makes her bend to her will and make her out to be the submissive one in the role.

It’s just fucking excellent characterization writing and directing. Very organic. Very honest. Very intentional.

I love this episode so much because it so effectively demonstrates that relationships are a compromise - they’re about understanding the oppositional view without sacrificing on your autonomy in the process.

Steven L. Sears and Oley Sassone are quite the team. They knew exactly what to do with these characters.

Siegfried Sassoon’s Aftermath, read by Jeremy Irons, for the 1996 BBC-Imperial War Museum documentary, The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century.

Jay Winter, a Yale history professor and Great War historian, was a contributor to the documentary series, and later to BBC radio programmes and podcasts for the centenary. He said this in BBC Radio Three's Dawn on the Somme;

"...The legacy of the First World War is unquestionably that of a war escaping from human control...Once the leaders, military and political, took the decision not to stop the war, they unleashed forces that they were unable to control. The reason why the Somme symbolises the war as whole, is that the armies were organised on the assumption that victory would come through breakthrough…the war showed the futility of the ideas of the 19th century when 20th century weaponry and manpower were applied to them..."
