“Where Art Thou / Shiviti Adonai” by Liora Ostroff, 5784/2023

Excerpts of Abraham Joshua Heschel’s 1967 “The Moral Outrage of Vietnam” arranged as a Shiviti amulet.

[foruli]

"God confronts us with this question: Where art thou?

"Is there no compassion in the world? No sense of discernment to realize that this war refutes any conceivable justification of war?

"The most basic way in which all men may be divided is between those who believe that war is unnecessary and those who believe that war is inevitable, between those to whom the sword is the symbol of honor and those to whom seeking to convert swords into plowshares is the only way to keep our civilization from disaster.

"The sword is the pride of man; arsenals, military bases, nuclear weapons lend supremacy to nations. War is the climax of ingenuity, the object of supreme dedication.

"We must continue to remind ourselves that in a free society all are involved in what some are doing. Some are guilty, all are responsible."

[el-shab-hussein]

Two land theft events happening at synagogues in Canada, selling stolen land to zionists in the Jewish diaspora. Montreal will have an event on Tuesday March 5th, and Toronto will have an event on Thursday March 7th.

I urge any local Jews reading this to protest these events. Stolen land in Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people and their authority, not Canadians, and it is not the occupation's land to sell.

These are detailed on the zionist occupation real estate website for events like these.

If you are not Jewish, please refrain from partaking in any protest events at these synagogues. I'd much rather Jewish anti-zionist allies of Palestinians be organizing counterprotests and the like, so as not to provide opportunity for any antisemitic infiltration.

Murano glass Judaica. Italy, XIX-XX century.

The uniqueness of this collection, which has been formed for a long time, lies in the fact that all items intended for synagogue events and domestic rituals are made of glass - a material that has not been used in Judaica, unlike metal, in wide demand. Due to the fragility of the material and the destruction of Jewish ritual objects during the WWII, such things are few and far between and are extremely rare in collections.
