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."

Quick! Someone ask Julian Casablancas what's really going on... :fozzie_wocka_wocka:
"Two #Jewish men were #stabbed and injured on a #London street on Wednesday, in what police called an act of #terrorism. Police arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder in the city’s latest #antisemitic attack.
The Metropolitan Police said the attack in the #GoldersGreen area left two men, ages 34 and 76, hospitalized with #knife wounds.
#Counterterrorism police are investigating whether the #stabbings are linked to recent #arson attacks on #synagogues and other Jewish sites in the #British capital. Detectives are investigating a potential #Iranian link to those attacks, but police said that it’s too soon to say whether Wednesday’s #stabbing is connected."

"The bill in question is one of two passed by the City Council last month that were championed by #Jewish #lawmakers and leaders who were unnerved by pro-#Palestinian #protests targeting #synagogues. A bill proposed by Speaker #JulieMenin that applies to protests outside #housesofworship passed with a #veto-proof supermajority, but a second bill that applies to protests near “#educationalfacilities” passed with enough “no” votes for #Mamdani to be able to strike it down.
Mamdani has indicated concerns about the legislation but not his plans about whether to sign it."

"Years after #YounesDardashti’s death, his granddaughter #Galeet is still singing with him in #NewYork.
Using #archival #recordings of her grandfather’s voice, #GaleetDardashti created her #album #Monajat — meaning an intimate conversation with God — layering her vocals over decades-old tapes of him #singing #Selihot, religious poetry chanted nightly before the #Jewish New Year.
Across the country in #LosAngeles, #JacquelineRafii — senior #cantor of Valley Beth Shalom, one of the largest Conservative #synagogues in the U.S. — is also working to preserve her #Iranian grandfather’s traditional #Persian Jewish #music.
While in #cantorial school, Rafii rediscovered cassette tapes made of her grandfather leading a #Passover seder in #Tehran. When her family was forced to flee the country following the #IslamicRevolution in 1979, they brought that cassette tape with them."

"Let us begin with a brief exchange on GB News, confirmed this week as the TV arm of #NigelFarage’s #ReformUK. Following an attack on a #synagogue last week in #Michigan, in which a #gunman drove a car packed with #explosives through the entrance[...], a pundit on the channel sought to clarify what the attacker actually meant by his actions. “This was an #Israeli temple,” she explained. “It was aligned with #Israel.”
By way of evidence, she cited the name of the synagogue – #TempleIsrael – apparently unaware that #Jews have referred to themselves as “the people of Israel” for millennia, long before there was a state of that name, and that there are, for that reason, countless #synagogues in the #US called Temple Israel. No, for her, the Michigan house of worship, with its on-site school where more than a hundred children were in lessons that day, was a de facto #embassy of the Israeli state and therefore an understandable, if not legitimate, target."

Not sure I agree with this or not. It assumes the places where we live are worth fighting for and I don't think they are. On the other hand I'm always ready to push back. 🤷♂️
"A society communicates its values through consistency. Hatred directed at #Jews must be treated with the same seriousness that any other form of #bigotry receives. When condemnation becomes selective, trust erodes.
#Jewish communities also face an internal decision about how they will respond. Fear can lead to retreat. Retreat may offer temporary comfort, yet it quietly reshapes identity over time.
Another response is possible. Communities can acknowledge danger without allowing it to define their future. Preparation and awareness can strengthen confidence rather than diminish it. #Schools, #synagogues, and community centers increasingly understand that training and preparedness save lives."

Its an old situation where Europe's governments would protect Jews from their neighbors. Right up until the government needed a scapegoat. New middle-ages. Cool cool cool.
"In particular, #military personnel will ensure the #security of #synagogues and #Jewish #schools. The decision was made following the attack last week against the #synagogue in the city of #Liège and similar attacks that occurred in the #Netherlands and #Norway against synagogues and a #Jewishschool.
“Against a backdrop of rising #antiSemitism, the attack that took place at the synagogue in Liège served as a stark reminder that the threat facing #Belgium’s Jewish community is very real. Ensuring the safety of our fellow citizens is the responsibility of the state in all its forms, regardless of any other political considerations. The deployment of military personnel to reinforce security around Jewish sites will provide direct support to the police,” said Minister Quintin."

"Do so after you’ve invited someone whose family is now in Lebanon or in Iran under these bombs falling on them. Listen to what they’ve gone through, and then ask yourself, is this the best message that we can advertise to the world?"

"B’Tselem, and the International Association of Genocide Scholars, it seems to me you are contributing to a diminution, a denigration of our moral, ethical refinement.
If a synagogue wants to have a conversation about whether it’s moral to have this sign, ‘We stand with Israel,’ on its lawn right now, I would suggest do so after you have invited someone from Gaza to speak to you."

"And now, now we see not only that that form of idolatry is making American Jews less safe, but it’s sapping the fundamental, moral core of what these synagogues are supposed to be about. ...
When you put out a sign that says, and keep it there, ‘We stand with Israel,’ even after something that has been called a genocide by Israel’s own leading human rights organization," (continued in /3)

2 things:
1. FUCKING STOP IT FOR FUCK'S SAKE! Enough. This is protocols shit. We aren't genetically responsible for everything that happens anywhere in the world with Jews.
2. First person that blames diaspora attacks on whatever Israel does instead of the actual perps to me irl is getting the shit kicked out of them. I kid you fucking not.
"#AMSTERDAM, March 13 (Reuters) - #Dutch police on Friday said four men were arrested after an #arson #attack on a #synagogue in the centre of #Rotterdam, in the latest incident of suspected #antisemitic violence since the start of the #US-#Israeli #war on #Iran.
No one was injured as a result of the #fire, which was caused by an #explosion around 3:40 a.m. (0240 GMT), Rotterdam police said.
Police said surveillance had immediately been increased at other #synagogues across the city.
The four men were held after police stopped a car that was driving suspiciously near another synagogue..."

"Two #synagogues in the #Toronto area were struck by #gunfire overnight, marking the third #shooting targeting a #Jewish house of worship in the region in less than a week. #BethAvrahamYoseph of Toronto in #Thornhill and #ShaareiShomayim in North #York were both hit shortly after midnight. No injuries were reported, but the back-to-back attacks sent another shock wave through a community already rattled by the earlier shooting at #TempleEmanuEl in #NorthYork."

"More than 90 #Greek #Jewish #religious artefacts stolen during the #Nazi occupation of #Greece are being returned from #Poland under an agreement between the two countries, the Culture Ministry has said.
The collection, comprising 91 items, was looted from #synagogues and Jewish families in Greece by the Nazi-era #RosenbergTaskforce, an organization tasked with appropriating cultural property during #WorldWarII."

Córdoba Synagogue -
Dutch synagogues filled with life 80 years after WWII.
Tens of millions of people died during World War II, including 6 million Jewish people who were murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust.
Dutch Jews were among the hardest hit. Three quarters of the Netherlands' pre-war Jewish population perished in Auschwitz, Sobibor and other camps.
Eighty years later, some of the community's shattered synagogues have been restored.
