Thursday, Iyar 18, 5775. May 7, 2015.

Shalom! World. Popper Syangogue, ul Szeroka 16. 

Today an arts studio used by local children, the Popper Synagogue is part of the rich oral history of Jewish Kazimierz. It was named after Wolf Popper, a finaciancier of the early 1600s, nicknamed 'the Stork' after his habit of standing on one leg while addressing people. This was Krakow's most lavish synagoguee, until its inevitable destruction at the hands of the nazis. Its modern-day use lends it a colourful, lively atmosphere - bright banners usually decorate the inner courtyard as you walk through the main entrance between a stretch of landmark restaurants on focal Szeroka.










Shalom! Aleichem.

Sunday, Kislev 15, 5778. December 3, 2017. Shalom! World. Green Caffè Nero, Nowy Swiat, 53. Warszawa/Poland. The blend ot Green Caffé Nero has remained the same unique since the year that the founder and owner, Gerry Ford, spent months working and crafting with John Ritzy, a master coffee roaster, and his Probat in a smal room beneath London Bridge. He knew exactly what he was looking for to start Green Caffé Nero: that rich, persistent roast that spoke of his time living in Italy and that has now became so familiar to us all. It was 1997, 20-years ago. The beans required to achieve this distictive flavour, however, aren't easy to find. G.C.N. source handpicked beans from higher altitudes and rich soils across a variety of origins to get the kind the quality that will complement the meticulous methods, providing the richness and flavour that G.C.N. simply won't compromisse on. After all these years, G.C.N. come to think of it as an art. There's no rushin...

JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF ANTI-SEMITISM?

THE REMUH SYNAGOGUE, KRAKOW/POLAND Monday, Kislev 26, 5777. December 26, 2016. Shalom! World.  There are two mysteries that have defied explanation for as long as anyone can remember. The first mystery is anti-Semitism, which is a mystery because there are few things in history that have been as consistent, as universal, and as predictable as anti-Semitism.

What did these people know about Jews? Sometimes a lot, sometimes very little, sometimes nothing at all. And yet all of them have a discomfort with Jews. Some of the things anti-Semites come up with concerning Jews and Judaism, make us wonder, "What did...
