JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. ASSIMILANTENTUM

Baden-Switzerland Monday, Shevat 8, 5776. January 18, 2016. Shalom! World. A existência Judaica está ligada e ameaçada por um fenômeno social que ameaça a sobrevivência do povo, a Assimilantentum (assimilação).  Vivendo entre povos modernos, o Judeu partilha com eles suas línguas e culturas, porém, semelhante participação natural não constitui assimilação. As memórias tribais ( Stammeserinnerung ) do Judeu alemão não estão ligadas a Herman dos Cherusci, mas a Judá Macabeu. Todavia, as fontes de sua vida espiritual ( geistiges Lebeen ) reside na história do espírito alemão. E, embora o Judeu alemão houvesse alcançado com o não-Judeu uma comunhão de trabalho ( Arbeitsgemeinschaft ), ele não conseguiu uma comunhão de vida ( Lebensgemeinschaft ), na qual pudesse preencher suas relações humanas e pessoais. Na Idade Média, era o grupo Judeu que sentia a pressão externa, enquanto a vida pessoal e interior do indivíduo, o qual passava sua estrita existência dentro do grupo, perma

JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. CAFÉS: TO DRINK, TO EAT, TO READ, TO THINK AND OTHERS THINGS. HARD ROCK CAFE. KRAKOW/POLAND

Tuesday, Shevat 2, 5776. January 12, 2016. Shalom! World. The international Hard Rock Cafe chain has set up shop on some of the city's most hallowed ground next to St. Mary's Basilica. Inside you'll find an absurdly large number of staff members milling around amongst rock memorabilia inccluding a pair of Elton John's specacles to an unplayable home-made guitar from Polish legends T. Love.  Featuring a modern interior stacked over three levels, stop by to enjoy a juicy burger while gazing at a scarf John Lennon once wore. Sit back enjoying your cocktail, Café or beer overlooking the Market Square and Clock Hall from Hard Rock' split level glass bar. I invite you to try one of the best croissant of the world, but only for breakfast. The chaps here know how to make that drink and the smiling faces can sometimes be all you need after a long day facing stern museum curators. Not the cheaptest place in town, but one of confort for many. 

JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. SALZKAMMERGUT HALLSTATT/AUSTRIA

Wednesday, Tevet 25, 5776 · January 6, 2016. Shalom! World. There are scenes you simply cannot get enough of, Hallstatt no doubt is one of them. The picturesque location by the lake, the closely nested and towering houses, the flair of millenniums of history: all this makes Hallstatt one of the most liked photographed places in Austria. It first came to the attention of tourists as far back as in imperial times. While the Emperor and his court made their summer retreat in nearby Bad Ischl, a motley entourage of artists always followed. And so painters, romantics and travel reporters quicklly spread the news of the beauty of Hallstatt across the region. Just like Alexander von Humboldt, for whom Hallstatt was "the most beautiful lakeside resort in the world." The village with a population of 800 has lost nothing of his appeal to this date. People have been attracted for centuries to the village at the foot of the oldest, still operating salt mine in the wor
