One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen - cover of a Yiddish art journal titled Milgroym (Pomegranate), published in Berlin between 1922 and 1924. Thanks to the efforts of The National Library of Israel issues of Milgroym were scanned and published online. To find this beautifully edited and extremely elegant journal please visit the following link:

This June was the 82nd anniversary of the sinking of SS Tanais, a cargo ship used by the Nazis to transport nearly the entire Cretan Jewish community that was torpedoed by the British, resulting in nearly everyone drowning and effectively destroying the Cretan Jewish community. The synagogues of Crete included Beth Shalom (bombed and destroyed in 1941) and Etz Hayyim, which was looted and desecrated, then occupied by squatters until the mid-1950, then served as a place to dump trash, used as a chicken pen and dog kennel. Etz Hayyim was finally restored in the years 1996-1999. It houses the oldest surviving and functional mikveh in Greece.

I'm so sad that a musical artist I supported has turned out to be a liar, damaging the community.

An Open Letter Addressing Misinformation Spread by Noam "Nani" Vazana

We, the undersigned, are dedicated to the revitalization of the Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) language, which has been designated as an endangered

I don't know if there's other people who have supported her work, but I wanted to warn people as someone warned me. I don't share "callouts" lightly but the American Ladino League and many notable figures of the community signed this letter.
