“Eretz Peru”

Tablet Magazine

An Israeli restaurant (r) in Cusco, Peru (l).

Walk down the cobblestone alley, and you’ll see it lined with restaurants serving falafel and schnitzel and Internet cafés advertising their businesses with Hebrew signs and Israeli flags. Shoppers speak Hebrew, and Israeli pop music emanates from storefronts. A shopkeeper waves and calls out to a passerby, “Shalom!”

Jews Flock to Ukrainian City Every Weekend

by Tamar Runyan – Chabad.org

Elderly residents of Makeyevka, Ukraine, enjoy a kosher meal and Jewish inspiration at the home of Chief Rabbi Eliyahu and Dassi Kramer (l). One of the Kramers’ children helps a Jewish man don tefillin (r).

Every weekend, the Jewish population in the eastern industrial city of Makeyevka, Ukraine, swells. Thanks to a guest house opened in 2008, each and every Sabbath at the home of Chief Rabbi Eliyahu and Dassi Kramer features the new faces of those drawn by the promise of a spiritually-uplifting experience, free food and even free transportation.

The first time Susan Biondi stepped foot in Aishel House, the Houston-based organization founded by Rabbi Eliezer and Rochel Lazaroff to service families in need at nearby Texas Medical Center, she was, in her own words, “blown away.”

Op-Ed: “An Open Letter”

Illustration Photo

To the woman who I met a few days ago on Eastern Parkway, a good ten-minute walk from Crown Heights, where you live:

Thank you for taking the time to talk to me. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you. While I was on my cell phone busy dealing with issues you only hear about on the news, while simultaneously trying to walk my baby to sleep in her stroller, you had the consideration and the time to stop me and have a little chat.

Op-Ed: The Haimish Line

by David Brooks – New York Times

New York Times columnist David Brooks

Recently I did a little reporting from Kenya and Tanzania before taking a safari with my family. We stayed in seven camps. Some were relatively simple, without electricity or running water. Some were relatively luxurious, with regular showers and even pools.
