"On Sunday, crowds of thousands rode ferries to #GovernorsIsland to attend a kind of #NewYork-centric Coachella for #Jewishfood and culture.

With glistening waters and the Statue of Liberty in sight, the droves then descended upon a lush lawn for the festival, the #GreatNosh. Revelers in flip-flops held inflatable green #pickles while they danced on the grass. People wearing #Hebrew-lettered jewelry and #StarofDavid necklaces waited in line for portable toilets. Couples strolled together with cups of #VanLeeuwen ice cream paired with black-and-white cookies from #Zabar’s.

The #festival’s stalls were filled with #Jewish institutions that had buddied up with buzzy establishments to serve New Yawky gastronomic fusions, a concept that is the Great Nosh’s guiding idea."

"I noticed something during last year’s #Pride that I could not stop thinking about afterward: silence.

Not total silence. Pride events still filled city streets in #SanFrancisco, where I live. Rainbow flags still hung from windows. But many #queer #Jews I knew had become quieter in subtle, almost imperceptible ways. Some had stopped posting online. Some had withdrawn from political conversations altogether. Others no longer mentioned being #Jewish in spaces where that identity had once felt unremarkable.

A few quietly disappeared from communities they had helped build. Invitations were declined. Group chats went unanswered. One friend told me they hesitated before wearing a #StarofDavid necklace to Pride for the first time in years.

At first, I told myself I was imagining it. Then I began hearing the same thing in private conversations[...]"

"A #German #Jewish woman was forced to remove her #StarofDavid necklace at a security checkpoint before being permitted to enter a courtroom in northern Germany — where ironically a man was on trial for excluding #Jews from his place of business.

The incident on Monday raised concerns over hostility toward Jews in public spaces, amid a wave of incidents in Germany and across #Europe of people being denied access to places and services for being Jewish or #Israeli.

On Monday, #KerenStopka was asked before entering the #Flensburg District Court in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein to remove her Star of David necklace so as not to “disrupt” the proceedings, in order to be allowed to observe the case.

“I had to remove my entire Star of David necklace and hand it over. I wasn’t even permitted to keep it under my shirt or in my pocket."

"A secret #bunker, an underground #tunnel and an armband bearing the #StarofDavid are among the rare findings in a house in southern #Poland that was used by #Jews, including young members of the #resistance, to hide from the #Nazis.

“This armband is a witness, it’s like directly touching that evil which people created for other people,” Karolina Jakoweńko from the #CukermansGateFoundation, which organized the search, told The Associated Press. Seeing it felt like a “jolt," she said.

#Jakoweńko spoke inside a two‑story redbrick house in the town of #Bedzin, within the former #Jewish #ghetto during the #WorldWarII. The house served as the site of a “#kibbutz” organized by youth from #leftwing #Zionist groups — in this case, a network that relied on each other to try to ensure its members survived and resisted the Nazi occupiers.

Each piece of rubble may hide a treasure."

"A #Barcelona sauna at the centre of allegations that two #Jewish #women were denied entry over a #StarofDavid necklace has condemned those involved, saying it condemns #discrimination and will no longer host their events.

#SaunaThermas issued a statement on Sunday following widespread criticism over an incident at a private event held at the venue on 29 May.

The controversy erupted after footage circulated online, appearing to show two #American #Jewishwomen being questioned about #Zionism after staff noticed a Star of David necklace. The women were subsequently refused entry, prompting outrage from Jewish organisations and reports that legal action is being explored."
