  1. Super cool art exhibit.

    "#Artist #AnnaKamyshan's '#Nabatele' — inspired by her own search for #Jewish belonging — opens at the #Venice Biennale in July.

    Membranes, helium, some anchors and engineering, and a lot of history went into the floating home for those who have lived without ground.

    Nabatele is a drifting #synagogue rising 25 metres above the #VenetianLagoon in the Collateral section of the 61st Venice Biennale International #Art Exhibition.

    The ambitious #aerostatic project, a life-sized structure illuminated from within and shining over the waterway day and night, is inspired by the lost wooden #shtetl #synagogues of eastern #Europe and evokes the hidden synagogues which rose in the Republic of Venice some 500 years ago."

  2. "#AbrahamFoxman, the former national director of the #AntiDefamationLeague, passed away aged 86 on Sunday.

    The #funeral service is set to be held at Park Avenue #synagogue in #NewYorkCity on Tuesday and will be live-streamed.

    The #ADL mourned the passing of #Foxman, who served as the organization's head from 1987 until 2015, after which he was succeeded by Jonathan Greenblatt and assumed an emeritus role.

    #America and the #Jewish people have lost a moral voice, a passionate advocate for the Jewish people and the state of Israel, and a remarkable leader,” Greenblatt said of his predecessor in a Sunday statement.

    “Abe Foxman was an iconic Jewish leader who embraced the ideal of an America free from #antisemitism and hate and who strongly believed that these scourges could be defeated if good people opposed it.”

  3. "#Swastikas and #Hitler #graffiti were spray-painted on a #synagogue, a #Jewish center, homes, and a vehicle in #NewYorkCity, by at least four people still at large.

    Congregation #MachaneChodosh in #ForestHills was the synagogue that was spray-painted, which #Rabbi #YossiMendelson told the #NewYork Post on Monday was “very upsetting.”

    "The rabbi who founded our synagogue was himself a #German refugee and dedicated the synagogue to the memory of the synagogues that were destroyed in #Germany and the #Jews who were murdered for being Jewish,” #Mendelson said."

  4. 😬😬😬😬

    "A #Cottbus #synagogue was defaced with a #swastika on Monday, and #graffiti calling for the death of #Jews was found in #Berlin on Sunday in a series of #antisemitic incidents in #Germany this week.

    The Cottbus Synagogue was discovered #vandalized with a swastika painted onto its facade before dawn on Monday, according to the #Brandenburg Police, the second time in four days that the Jewish house of worship had been defaced."

  5. Friday too... but only "alleged" :fozzie_wocka_wocka:

    "Members of the #Jewish community have been urged to “remain calm” after an #arson attack on a business in north #London, which police acknowledged had “similarities” with other recent attacks on a nearby #synagogue and a Jewish #ambulance #charity.

    The Metropolitan Police said that a man was seen to approach a row of shops in #Hendon with a plastic bag containing three bottles of liquid on Friday evening. He tried to set the items in the bag alight, but when the bottles failed to fully ignite, he fled the scene, police said.

    The alleged attack was claimed online by individuals purporting to be from the group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyah (HAYI), who said they were targeting Jewish education charity #JewishFutures."

  6. Eyes wide open.

    "An attempted #arson attack has been reported at a north-west #London #synagogue, after a spate of similar incidents.

    The incident at #Kenton United Synagogue in #Harrow on Saturday night caused minor smoke damage to an internal room but no injuries or significant structural damage, according to the #CommunitySecurityTrust, which monitors #antisemitism and provides protection for #Jewish communities in the #UK.

    The building is close to a school and children’s playground.

    Police were seen searching a black SUV nearby on Sunday morning. A large cordon was in place and a forensics officer, fire investigation dogs and several plainclothes officers were working at the scene."

    We are saddened in the wake of a horrible attack on a #synagogue in W.Bloomfield. We are sending love and care to #Jewish communities throughout #Michigan, including our own members who were raised in #TempleIsrael and have family who attend there.[...] Jewish communities, like all people, deserve to be safe in our houses of worship and schools.

    The person who reportedly carried out this attack was a man whose siblings, niece, and nephew were just murdered in #Lebanon by #Israeli bombs. This is grief upon grief. War always begets trauma and further violence. It is clear that the Israeli government’s atrocities make all of us-including Jews-less safe. #Israel carries out brutal wars and #genocide against families and children, then falsely claims these war crimes are done in the name of #Jews. This leads to more #antisemitism.

  15. "A wave of #antisemitic incidents across #Canada is raising alarm within the country’s #Jewish community, as tensions linked to conflict in the #MiddleEast continue to drive a surge in #vandalism, #harassment, and #violence targeting #Jews and #Israelis.

    In one of the latest antisemitic incidents, a #kosher restaurant and a neighboring business in #Montreal, the largest city in the province of #Quebec, were vandalized on Wednesday, with antisemitic #graffiti and #swastikas spray-painted across their walls.

    The incidents followed separate attacks in #Toronto, a city in the province of #Ontario, where shots were fired at a Jewish-owned restaurant and at a local #synagogue.

    In another troubling antisemitic incident, a 15-year-old Jewish #student in #Halifax, the capital of #NovaScotia, has been forced to continue his education online after his school failed to stop repeated antisemitic harassment and #bullying."

  16. Can't catch a break these days, eh? 👀

    "Police have charged a man after a car was used to ram the gates of a #synagogue in #Brisbane.

    Officers say the man was driving a Toyota Hilux utility when he knocked down the gates of the property in Margaret Street in Brisbane’s #CBD shortly after 7pm on Friday.

    The driver fled the scene before being taken into custody a short time later.

    No one was injured during the incident.

    A 32-year-old #Sunnybank man was expected to appear before the Brisbane magistrates court on Saturday. He has been charged with wilful damage, serious vilification or #hatecrime, dangerous operation of a vehicle, and drug possession offences."

  17. "#Anglican #missionary Rev. #WBLewis describing the desperate situation of #Jews living in #Jerusalem under #Ottoman #Turkish rule in 1824.

    #Lewis wrote his letter from #Aintoura, a village in present-day #Lebanon, on February 23, 1824. His account is one of the most detailed non-#Jewish eyewitness reports of what life was really like for Jews in the #HolyLand at that time.

    He describes horrifying #extortion, #beatings, wrongful #imprisonment, #forcedlabor, and stolen property — all suffered by a community with no #European diplomatic protection in Jerusalem. The letter also covers the long Jewish struggle to reclaim the ruined #Hurva #Synagogue, which had been destroyed by #Arab creditors a century earlier.

    This document is historically valuable precisely because Lewis was a non-Jewish outsider with nothing to gain by exaggerating. His testimony confirms what Jewish sources also describe about life under Ottoman rule in Jerusalem."

  21. Today I visited the historic Main Synagogue of Toledo, Spain, which during the Inquisition became the Church of Saint Mary the White.

    Around the year 1200, the Jewish community of Toledo hired local Muslim architects to design the synagogue.

    It's now a tourist attraction officially known by the ridiculous name Synagogue of Saint Mary the White.
