Thrursday, Nissan 6, 5775. March 26, 2015. Shalom! World. The Little Insurgent Monument Monument, ul. Podwale 2. The communist authorities continually thwarted efforts to commemorate the Uprising, though by the early 80s cracks in their resolve were beginning to show. On October 1, 1983, the most poignant of all Uprising monuments was unveiled by the walls of the Barbakan. Designed by Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz and funded by colletions undertaken by scouts, the bronze installation shows the figure of a boy soldier clutching a Sten gun and weighed down by an adult-sized helmet. Commemorating the children who served as messengers and frontline troops, the figure is inspired by the story of 13 years old corporal Antek, himself killed in action close to the scene on August 8, 1944.

Friday, Adar 29, 5775. March 20, 2015. Shalom! World. A Hochschule für die Wissenschaft des Judentums (Escola Superior da Ciência do Judaísmo), em Berlim, foi um seminário para formar rabinos liberais e scholars Judeus de feitio moderno, sua fundação se deu em 1869, abriu suas portas em 1872 e as fechou em 1942, quando os editos nazistas forçaram-na a cessar o ensino. Durante cinquenta anos de sua existência, a H.W.J. não teve cadeira de filosofia, ela fora primordialmente uma escola para a formação de rabinos liberais. Mas não era este o intento de seus fundadores. Tinham evitado cuidadosamente inserir no nome da Instituição qualquer indicação nesse sentido. Haviam estipulado que os curso deviam ser dados "exclusivamente com vistas ao puro interesse da Wissenschaft des Judentums (Ciência do Judaísmo), de sua preservação, avanço e propagação", e esperavam que o caráter expressamente científico da escola atrairia muitos estudantes não teológicos. Tais expectat...

JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. THE BARBICAN AND THE FLORIANSKA GATE - KRAKOW/POLAND.
Wednesday, Adar 27, 5775. March 18, 2015. Shalom! World. The Barbican Fears of Turkish invasion led to the construction of this once mighty fortress and drawbridge. Surrounded by a huge moat, the Barbican was never put to its original use- the Turks never came.
