Tuesday, Adar I 7, 5779. February 12, 2019.

Shalom World.


The first Jewish Cemetery in Lódz was established in 1811 at the Wesola Street. In the 50's of the XX century a residential neighborhood and a  street was built  on the cemetery grounds. Today a stone obelisk, erected in 2004 by the initiative of the President of Lódz, Dr. Jerzy Kropiwnicki, remember about this Cemetery.


The Cemetery at the Bracka Street in Lódz was established in 1892. About 160,000 people are buried there. Today the Cemetery has na área of 39,6 hectare. In more than 100 years of the history of the  Cemetery many meritorious for the  city and its history people like knnown rabbis, fabricants, physicians, politicians, social activists et. were buried at this Cemetery. Theis tombstones often show high class of stone and metal craftworks.


Also here are buried victims  of one of the most tragic events in the history ot the mankind - Holocaust. On the part of the Cemetery called  "Ghetto Field" some 43,000 victims from the Ghetto Lódz, who  died from hunger and consumption, are buried there. On their graves seldom we can see a matzeva. To keep the memory about them, the Foundation cleaned this área in the yers 2004 - 2009. In spite of other Works on the Cemetery, Ghetto Field was the most and crucial to restore so, that the few still living descendants  of  the persons buried there, could put the matzeva on the graves of  their love ones, and the Ghetto  Field would receive the character of the military cemetery, as it  in fact is.


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...
