JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. JOZEF K. CAFE. GDANSK/POLAND

Image
Wednesday, Sivan 2, 5778. May 16, 2018. Shalom! World. Address: ul. Piwna 1/2. Gdansk. This Café seems to exist in a world of its own - as alll great Cafés should. You'll find it on a sleepy little corner near the train  station, and if Mr Sun is in a good mood, there'll be a clutter of  old wooden tables and chairs outside, ideal for a teddy bears picnic. Inside the spirit is free and funky, with a beguilling mish-mash of odds and ends that look as if they might have been plucked from a remarkably good car boot sale. If you start to hear peculiar echoes, don't be alarmed, it is not the beer, rather it is the residente parrot, a nonchalant fellow, who enjoys poking fun at guests. A gem.  Shalom! Aleichem.

Wednesday, Iyar 17, 5778. May 2, 2018. Shalom! World. The first Jewish Cemetery was founded circa 1588; however, its location is unknown. Today, the only surviving cemetery is situated at the corner of Dabrowskiego Street and Wysokie Brzegi Street. It was established at the turn of the 19th century. The cemetery was originally square, but the área that remains today is shaped like a trapezoid. During World War II, the cemetery was completed devastated by the Germans and its grounds were included in Dabrowskiego Street.In 1941, the cemetery was closed just after the Jews were deported from Oswiecim.
