  1. Ώπα! 💣

    "A #Melbourne #Greek #restaurant has rejected online hate and a #bomb threat after hosting a joint #Jewish-Greek cultural evening.

    On #Facebook, the owner insists it will keep bringing the communities together. Last Friday the #MediterraneanGreekTavern in #Elsternwick staged a night that mixed the two traditions.

    Guests dressed in white, #challah sat beside Greek dishes, prayers were said, and a #bouzouki band played #HavaNagila alongside music from #ZorbatheGreek.

    The dinner marked six months of #Shabbat Club #Australia.

    [...]

    Earlier nights have been held at other Melbourne spots. Friday’s larger gathering had a long waiting list.

    The next day the restaurant posted warmly about the young crowd. Supportive replies came first, then a surge of abuse via #socialmedia.

    Commenters called the hosts sell-outs, accused them of supporting “#genocide killers,” urged that #Jews be #deported, and one reportedly openly called for the tavern to be #bombed."

  2. This traditional stuff is almost quaint now. Psychologically speaking I guess.

    "A #swastika was painted on #TempleShalom in #Wheeling, #WestVirginia, last week. Wheeling is about 60 miles southwest of #Pittsburgh.

    The #Nazi symbol was painted on the #Reform congregation’s wall on Thursday, Aug. 13 and was removed before #Shabbat services on Aug. 14.

    The congregation’s #Rabbi #JoshuaLief told the Herald-Star that police are investigating the act, calling it a “#hatecrime.”

  3. "The #Detroit #RidefortheLiving is one of many around the globe that are adjuncts to the original Ride for the Living, held every year in #Poland. The original Ride begins at the nefarious #Nazi #concentrationcamp at #Auschwitz- #Birkenau, Poland, and ends at the #Jewish Community Center in #Kraków, Poland.

    This international Ride for the Living takes place over four days in Poland in June. It features a 60-mile #bike ride as well as other activities related to the #Holocaust and Jewish community #history. It ends with a #Shabbat dinner. Most important, the Ride commemorates those who were lost in the Holocaust and the resilience of the Jewish people. It’s an impressive event. Just ask Cheryl and Arnie Berlin who took the Ride in Poland (June 7, 2018).

    The JCC in Kraków is a prime exemplar for survival and resilience. Before World War II, Poland had the largest Jewish population in #Europe at 3 million."

  4. Shabbat Shalom Substack Friends 🕯️🕯️

    I posted my Shabbat Reflection this morning and invite you to read it.

    It centers around the question, “But what if?” that has plagued me for years.

    If you’re observing, may your Shabbat be meaningful and restful. Happy weekend to all.

  5. Jerusalem cafe that became symbol of secular defiance, run by Jews for Jesus

    Jerusalem’s premier soccer team made an unusual announcement last week: It would give a new cafe free advertising…

  6. "As #prisons go, #EasternStatePenitentiary in #Philadelphia was unusually luxurious. For one, it had flush toilets — beating out even the #WhiteHouse in making the upgrade, #museum exhibit developer #BethTinker told me on a recent tour.

    But if plumbing reflected the #penitentiary’s commitment to #prisoners’ physical well-being, its biggest innovation was more spiritual. Eastern State housed the first #synagogue inside a #US #prison, complete with a #Torah #ark and #nertamid, or eternal light. That restored sanctuary — a short walk from gangster #AlCapone’s former cell — is now newly open to the public in a museum exhibit, Freedom through Faith: #Judaism at #EasternState and Beyond.

    “It’s a place really of humanity, when you’re not getting a lot of humanity in this space,” Tinker said.

    The synagogue, founded in 1922, hosted holiday celebrations and weekly #Shabbat services."

  9. Elul reminds us: you don’t need Jan 1st, the perfect plan, or ideal circumstances to begin again. ✨

    Renewal is here, now.
    Your past doesn’t define you.
    The slate is clean, the page blank, the door open.

    What will you choose today?
