    "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."

    Cafe Basimta’s Saturday closure is a warning: Netanyahu’s years in power have emboldened Haredi autonomy, deepened Jerusalem’s culture…

  7. "In the central cities of the #Brazilian #Amazon, mainly #Manaus and #Belém, local #restaurants observe a century-old custom of serving a festive #brunch every Sunday. The special #menu includes dishes representing the diverse communities that make up #Amazonian society. Alongside local dishes and others that arrived from #Japan or #England, two surprising additions appear: #couscous and #dafina, a traditional #Jewish- #Moroccan #stew for #Shabbat. They only offer a hint of the remarkable story of the Jewish community of the Brazilian Amazon.

    The story of this unique community, which today numbers only about 2,000 #Jews, alongside an estimated 300,000 non-Jewish descendants, begins in 1850. Or, in fact, it begins in 1492, when Jews were #expelled..."

  12. shabbat shalom!

    currently hanging out with close friends for a stitch & bitch/artsy craftsy hangout

    I've got a few projects that I'm going to work on:
    - a vintage handkerchief that I bought recently that has some lacy crocheted edging that I want to replace
    - a shirt that I'm going to add some decoration to
    - my current knitting project
    - a small writing project

    I'm definitely going to work on the first two, and I'll post some photos

  13. Abib 18 (2023-04-08): Today, 2,000 years ago, the #Messiah resurrected on the third day as was prophesied. It was a weekly #Sabbath / #Shabbat, for the Messiah is the Master of Sabbath/Shabbat. It was not on the first day of the week, not on #Easter.

    He left his tomb on Sabbath day and have shown himself to countless people who did not recognise he has resurrected. Just like how it is today!

    Rejoice! For the Messiah has conquered the grave! #HeIsRisen!
