JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. STROLLING AROUND THE OBIDOS - PORTUGAL

-


Thrusday, Av 21, 5779. August 22, 2019.

Shalom! World.

Obidos - Portugal.


Obidos is the finest example of a Potuguese walled town, and isone of the best tourist destinations  of the Lisbon region.


Obidos is a charming town to explore; there are narrow-cobbled streets, traditional painted houses, and an imposing medieval castle.


The typical length of time in Obidos 3 hours. I suggest visiting early in the day, before the arrival of the coach tours, or to spend a night, which has recently become a popular option.


The best method to travel to Obios from Lisbon is by the express bus.  The bus service departs from Campo Grande bus station. The journey takes just 1 hour.


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. From one country to another, from one culture to another, from one religion to another - although lifestyles, philosophies, and  so forth are extremely different, there is one thing all of  the peoples of the world had in common: They all, at one point or another, included individuals, and even large segments of their populations, who did not like Jews. 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...
